Install and run

Setup complexity: low.

clawhub skill install s17fpgb0p797dzkbtbrxw5x1hh89qs64:talking-head-recut

Setup complexity is classified as HIGH. You must provision dedicated cloud infrastructure or an isolated VM. Do not run this directly on your local workstation.
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

Contract: missing

**Plugin installs:** Before setup or freshness commands, follow [plugin execution rules](../hyperframes/references/plugin-installation.md) when this skill is inside a HyperFrames plugin. Standalone installs keep the update instructions below.

> **First, keep this skill fresh — confirm with the user before running:** `npx hyperframes skills update talking-head-recut`. A fast no-op when everything is current; otherwise it refreshes this skill plus the core domain skills it depends on before you rely on them.

# Talking Head Recut

Talking Head Recut takes a local video that **plays in full** and layers a sequence of
timed, designed **graphic cards** onto it — titles, lower-thirds, data callouts,
quotes, side panels, picture-in-picture — synced to what's being said. The agent
designs the cards (timing + content) and **writes each card's HTML directly in the
conversation**, then assembles a single composition HTML and renders it to MP4 via
`hyperframes`. There is no fixed archetype list and no prescribed card structure —
the overlays emerge from what the transcript actually says.

> **The front door is `/hyperframes`.** This skill packages an **existing talking-head clip** with **designed graphic cards** (titles, lower-thirds, data callouts, quotes, side panels, PiP) — not plain captions (the spoken words as text). **The clip plays untouched.** Any other intent — plain subtitles, a standalone graphic, a from-scratch video — or any uncertainty → read `/hyperframes` first: the intent layer owns every route decision.

> **Graphic-packaging sibling of `embedded-captions`.** Captions add the _spoken words_
> as a readable subtitle; this adds _designed graphics_ on top of the playing video.
> Plain subtitles → `embedded-captions`. Build a video from scratch → the creation
> workflows (`product-launch-video` / `faceless-explainer` / …).

Routed through `/hyperframes`, the intent layer confirms only the input (which clip) and **announces** the render-strategy questions as deferred asks — aspect, layout, style group, and card count stay at Step 7, where the probed footage and transcript ground the recommendations; the layer's run-shape questions don't apply. A `BRIEF.md`, when present, carries the confirmed input and any user notes — read it first.

Inspectable intermediate files in the work directory:

- `metadata.json` — duration / width / height / fps
- `audio.mp3` — extracted audio
- `transcript.json` — a flat **word array** `[{ text, start, end }, …]` (Whisper; no

# V—Take Visual Design Library

This directory is a **reference library** for the talking-head-recut skill. Style, layout,
and video frame are three **orthogonal** dimensions you can freely mix when
designing a takeaway video.

```
Style  ×  Layout  ×  VideoFrame
 (10)      (4)         (3)        = 120 possible combinations
```

Read a reference file when you decide to use that dimension. Each file is a
self-contained HTML fragment that follows the talking-head-recut card-HTML contract
(scoped `<style>`, no `<script>`, no external URLs, animations only via
`data-anim-*`).

## Layouts — how video and card share the canvas

| key       | file                                         | what it does                                            | best for                                |
| --------- | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| `split`   | [layouts/split.html](layouts/split.html)     | 50/50 side-by-side (landscape) or top/bottom (portrait) | speaker + data equal weight             |
| `stack`   | [layouts/stack.html](layouts/stack.html)     | video on top (~52%), card below                         | talking-head with summary card          |
| `pip`     | [layouts/pip.html](layouts/pip.html)         | card fills canvas, video rounded PiP in corner          | content-heavy moment, speaker secondary |
| `overlay` | [layouts/overlay.html](layouts/overlay.html) | video full-bleed, glass card floats on bottom           | cinematic / dramatic moments            |

A layout is a **two-part recipe**: pick a `card.zone` value to put in
`storyboard.json` AND author a GSAP tween for `#video-wrap` to its
target rect in the composition's `<script>`. Open the layout file's
header for the recommended `zone` + the GSAP statement to paste.
(Earlier docs referenced a `card.layout` field — that field does NOT
exist in the real schema; the strict v3 schema only has `card.zone`.)

## Styles — the card's visual language

| key          | file                                             | character                                            | accent    | suggested font      |

NOTICE.md

# Attribution

The `talking-head-recut` skill (its card-based design system — styles, layouts, frames,
fonts, and the GSAP-driven composition workflow) is **adapted from** the open-source
**vtake-skills** project (`vtake-cut`):

> https://github.com/notedit/vtake-skills

Adaptations for this repo: renamed to `talking-head-recut`; transcription repointed to
local Whisper via `hyperframes transcribe` (dropping the third-party `@notedit/vtake`
CLI and the `vtake.app` proxy); audio/metadata extraction inlined with `ffmpeg`/`ffprobe`;
the fixed third-party brand outro removed in favour of an optional, neutral outro;
artifacts aligned to the `videos/<project>/` convention.
