## Use it when

- You need animated text, a number count-up or a moving chart
- You want to animate a logo, a lower third or a map in a few seconds
- You need a transparent overlay to place over other footage

## Not for

- Long, narrated or multi-scene videos: general-video handles those
- Pieces with a person filmed on screen: it is built for graphics with no narration or live subject

## What you get

A rendered video file in MP4, or webm or mov as a transparent overlay, after checks and proof snapshots pass.

## How to ask for it

- `Make an animated logo sting for the end of my video`
- `Create an animated stat count-up with our growth numbers`
- `Animate this map highlighting the cities where we have offices`

## Author's description

A short, design-led motion graphic where motion is the message — kinetic typography, stat count-up, chart/data-viz hit, logo sting / brand lockup, lower-third / callout / social overlay, animated map (highlight regions, connect places, zoom to a location), animated tweet / news-article / headline, webpage / UI animation (scroll, cursor, callouts), or fusing a real image's geometry into a chart. Usually under 10s (up to ~30s), no narration or live-action subject; renders to MP4 or transparent overlay. Longer / narrated / multi-scene → /general-video. Unclear → /hyperframes.

## Questions about this skill

### How long can the piece be?

Usually under 10 seconds, and up to about 30. Longer pieces go to general-video.

### Does it include a voiceover?

No. It is built for graphics with no narration and no filmed subject.

### Does it render without asking me?

No. It builds and verifies on its own, but before rendering it asks whether you want to preview first or render.
