Talking Head Guide skill

talking-head-guide0xsline/OpenChatCutsrc/agent/skills/talking-head-guide/SKILL.md

Guide for editing videos where the primary content is people talking — talking-head / 口播, interview / 访谈, lecture, tutorial, podcast, course content, and similar talking-driven formats. Use when the user wants speech editing on a talking video (剪口播 / 口播剪辑 / 去口癖 / clean up fillers / smooth speech), motion graphics layered onto talking video (口播加 MG / 加动画), or B-roll on a talking video (加 B-roll / add B-roll). For motion graphics specifically, use this together with the active Motion Graphics skill/workflow available in the current OpenChatCut environment — this skill adds talking-specific guidance (speech-rhythm timing, frame-aware placement, subject/caption protection, placement verification).
