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."
