Adds two opposing labels either side of a person talking to camera, each landing as it is said, with optional arrows pointing in at them or out: two forces, two camps, one person in the middle. 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 describes a trade-off or a tension between two sides (fast and right, saving and spending, two groups who want different things).

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4, put "the old Monday call" and "written updates" either side of me.

It said back

I've put "The old Monday call" on your left and "Written updates" on your right. The render is talk-graphics.mp4 in the work folder: 1920x1080, 24.3 s, 30 fps. The sound is yours and unchanged. The check found no layout problems, and neither label covers your face.

Timing

  • "Written updates": lands at 11.2 s as you say "Written updates on Friday". The note under it reads "on Friday".
  • "The old Monday call": lands as you say "old Monday call" at about 21.3 s. The note under it reads "12 people, 1 hour", taken from what you said earlier.
  • Hold: both labels stay up until the end of the clip (23.2 s).
