Effects — 51 Video Effects

Adds any of 51 face-tracking video effects (orbit reels, spotlight, glass widgets, timeline, iMessage pop-ups and more) to a vertical talking-head clip.

Image & VideoBeginner★ 831⑂ 201AI score 9/10Last updated: Nov 9, 2026

What it does

  • Applies 51 motion effects to a talking-head video: reels orbiting your head, spotlight, frosted glass widgets, editing timeline, checklists, iMessage notifications, iPhone toggles, LED signs, 3x3 profile grid placement and more.
  • Effects track the speaker's face so they sit behind the head or steer clear of it entirely.
  • Say "on the word X" and it runs words.py to pull word-level timestamps and time the effect precisely.
  • Drafts a plan JSON, renders PNG check frames for review, then exports 1080p MP4 (or 4K with --width 2160) keeping the original audio.

Who it's for

  • Creators editing their own Reels / Shorts / TikToks
  • Solo marketers who want motion-graphics polish without After Effects
  • Anyone making product or metric videos needing quick graphs and checklists

Examples

  1. /effects orbit — your reel covers circle your head from 3.2s to 6.0s.
  2. "Drop a giant word behind me when I say 'Claude'" — backdrop-word auto-timed to that word.
  3. Growth recap clip: liquid-glass-graph with a number counting from 197K to 672K on a glass card.

Install the skill I found on AI Skill Mart.
Copy the SKILL.m folder from the GitHub repo Vibha-Ramprakash/claude-video-effects into my ~/.claude/skills/effects/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/Vibha-Ramprakash/claude-video-effects.git ~/.claude/skills/claude-video-effects
