# 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.
> **Confirm the route before you build.** This skill packages an **existing talking-head clip** with **designed graphic cards** (titles, lower-thirds, data callouts, quotes, side panels, PiP). If the user wants **plain captions / subtitles** (the spoken words as text) → `/embedded-captions`; a **single short unnarrated** element (one logo sting / lower-third) → `/motion-graphics`. **The clip plays untouched** — re-timing, recoloring, reframing, reordering, or audio is NLE editing and **out of scope**. Building from a URL / topic / PR → the creation workflows. Unsure overlays-vs-captions? **Read `/hyperframes` first.**
