pull-back-reveal

The camera pulls right back to show your shot is the preview in a video editor, with a timeline of clips under it.

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 24 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 pull-back-reveal my-clip.mp4 pull-back-reveal.mp4 --words "Your clip"

It plays for 1.31s from --at (default 0.6s), then hands back to your shot. Change the length with --len. Add --check to test the fit and load without rendering.

What you get

pull-back-reveal.mp4: 1080x1920, 30fps, H.264, your audio kept, the same length as your clip.

The effect itself is video-effects/fx/17-pull-back-reveal.js. Edit that file to change it.
