head-pop-out

head-pop-out

Your shot shrinks into a blue panel and your head and shoulders spring up out of its top edge. Optional words settle on a card below. It holds to the end of your clip, so use it as an ending.

What you need

1. Your clip. A vertical or landscape MP4 of you talking to camera, head and shoulders in shot. At least 2s long.
2. Words (optional). --words "...", up to 40 characters.
3. The engine. Install video-effects beside this skill and follow its setup once (ffmpeg, Node, Puppeteer, torch).

Run it

node ~/.claude/skills/video-effects/run.cjs head-pop-out my-clip.mp4 head-pop-out.mp4 --words "New video every Monday"

It starts at --at (default 0.6s, or 2.2s before the end of a short clip) and holds to the end. Give it at least 1.6s. Add --check to test the fit and load without rendering.

What you get

head-pop-out.mp4: 1080x1920, 30fps, H.264, your audio kept, the same length as your clip.

The effect itself is video-effects/fx/20-head-pop-out.js. Edit that file to change it.
