Adds a line of copy over a talking-head video with one word struck through and the better word written in above it as they say it: a correction or a sharper word choice. 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 corrects a word in a headline, a pitch or a line of copy ("not cheapest, fastest") and wants the edit shown on screen.

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4, strike "status meetings" and write "written updates" in its place.

It said back

I rendered the video with "status meetings" struck through and "written updates" written in above it. It's saved as talk-graphics.mp4 (1920x1080, 24.3 s, 30 fps). I checked one settled frame and it reads well, but I haven't watched the rendered file. The sound is the speaker's own and unchanged.

  • Line on the card: "Our team stopped holding status meetings". It comes from the opening line, "Here's what happened when our team stopped holding status meetings."
  • Timing: The card appears at 1.2 s as she says "stopped holding status". It stays until 14.3 s, around "one shared board". That span covers her saying "Written updates on Friday" at about 11.4 s, which is where the new wording lands.
  • Look: I used paper, with a tomato-red accent, and the card sits low on the frame. Captions are off on that beat so they don't collide with it. The check reported no layout problems and the face stays clear.
