Package an existing talking-head / interview / podcast video with timed, designed GRAPHIC OVERLAY cards — kinetic titles, lower-thirds, data callouts, quotes, side panels, picture-in-picture — synced to the transcript, on a 16:9 / 9:16 / 4:5 canvas of your choice; the clip plays untouched underneath. Trigger on "graphic overlays", "on-screen graphics", "package / dress up my video". Not plain subtitles (/embedded-captions). Unclear → /hyperframes.

## From README

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.
