|A Claude Code skill that layers timed, designed graphic overlay cards (titles, lower-thirds, data callouts, quotes, side panels, picture-in-picture) onto existing talking-head or interview videos, synced to the transcript via the hyperframes CLI.
Overview
Talking Head Recut is a Claude Code skill for packaging existing talking-head, interview, or podcast videos with professionally designed graphic overlay cards. Rather than editing the source video itself, the skill layers timed visual elements on top of the playing video: titles, lower-thirds, data callouts, quotes, side panels, and picture-in-picture compositions. It uses local Whisper transcription to analyze what is being said, then the agent designs each card's HTML directly in conversation before rendering the final composition to MP4 via the hyperframes CLI. No external API keys are needed for transcription.
Key Features
- Transcript-synced graphic cards: Automatically transcribes audio with local Whisper, then designs overlay cards timed precisely to what the speaker is saying
- Flexible card types: Supports fullscreen hero moments, lower-third annotations, side panels with data, whiteboard-area dense content, and transparent video overlays with no fixed archetype constraints
- Full HTML/CSS/GSAP control: Each card is authored as an HTML fragment with custom styling, GSAP animations, and theme-aware accent colors, giving complete creative freedom
- End-to-end pipeline: Handles the entire workflow from audio extraction, transcription, storyboard planning, card HTML authoring, composition assembly, to final MP4 rendering
- Local-first processing: Transcription runs via bundled Whisper with no third-party API, no rate limits, and no keys required; rendering uses system ffmpeg and a headless browser
Who is this for?
- Content creators who want to add professional on-screen graphics to interview or podcast clips without using traditional video editing software
- Marketing teams packaging talking-head videos with branded overlays, data callouts, and quote cards for social media distribution
- Developers and technical communicators who want AI-assisted video packaging with full control over the HTML/CSS design of each graphic element
