Adds a cloud of the words a speaker names around their head on a talking-head video, in a few sizes, each landing as it is said, never over the face. Timed to the words they say, on their own footage, with their sound kept; 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5. Renders locally with Chrome and ffmpeg: no video model, no key and no cost. Use when someone lists topics, worries or things on their mind in a talking-head video and wants them to fill the space around them.

About this skill

You say

Scatter the costs I mention in talk.mp4 around my head as I say them.

It said back

I've made talk-graphics.mp4: 1920×1080, 24.3 s long, 30 fps.

The cloud (4.9 s to 10.7 s): the four costs you name, each appearing as you say it:

  • "12 people"
  • "1 hour"
  • "Every Monday"
  • "600 hours a year" is the biggest word and in the red accent, because it's the total you build up to.
