46 video effects for talking heads

Who it is for

Anyone who makes talking-head videos and wants effects like orbit, spotlight or headline cards without a motion designer.

What it does

• 41 effects by Vibha Ramprakash: orbit, spotlight, glass widgets, LED sign, checklists, graphs and more
• 5 Viralframe looks: vf-backdrop, vf-spotlight, vf-headline, vf-split and vf-graph
• Effects that follow your face and can sit behind your head
• Your fonts and colors from brand.json

In the zip: SKILL.md, scripts, setup script, brand.json, fonts, models, requirements.txt, LICENSE and NOTICE.md.

Install in Claude Code

1. Unzip viralframe-video-effects.zip into ~/.claude/skills/ to use it in every project, or into .claude/skills/ inside one project.
2. Check that you have viralframe-video-effects/SKILL.md inside that folder.
3. Restart Claude Code and ask in plain words. Claude can install the requirements for you.

Requirements

• ffmpeg
• Python 3.10+ (the first run creates a private environment with numpy, opencv-python, pillow and mediapipe, 1 to 3 minutes)
• Optional, for "on the word X" timing: faster-whisper

Try asking

Add a spotlight with the word CLIENTS behind me when I say "clients", then a vf-headline from 2 to 5 s with "The real problem" and the label "Lesson 1".

From our test

On our test: all 46 effects listed, and the 5 Viralframe looks rendered on a test clip.

The 41 original effects were not re-tested one by one; their code did not change.
