What's included

Skill	What it does
short-form-video	The hook → retention → loop grammar of vertical 9:16 video — hooks, pattern interrupts, pacing, and repeatable templates.
caption-animation	Word-timed, karaoke-style captions from a transcript or voiceover — per-word pop, active-word highlight, safe-area placement.
countdown-video	Frame-accurate, drift-free countdown timers with digit flip/roll motion and a configurable duration.
lower-thirds	Clean, branded name/role lower thirds with staged enter/exit animation — templated across a whole roster.

When it activates

• Making a Reels / TikTok / YouTube Shorts video, or building a reusable short-form template.
• Editing for retention: fixing the first 3 seconds, adding pattern interrupts, tightening pacing, making a seamless loop.
• Adding animated or karaoke captions, word-by-word subtitles, or burning captions onto a voiceover.
• Building a countdown timer — "starting soon" screens, launch/sale countdowns, animated counters that land on zero.
• Creating animated lower thirds, name tags, speaker overlays, or broadcast-style titles across a list of names.

Example prompts

• "Make a 9:16 TikTok template and fix the first 3 seconds so it hooks."
• "Turn this voiceover transcript into Hormozi-style word-by-word captions."
• "Build a 5-minute 'starting soon' countdown that ends exactly on zero."
• "Add an animated lower third with the speaker's name and role."
• "Pace the cuts and add pattern interrupts so this Reel holds 70%+ retention."
