Editorial Explainer

Synced from the ChatCut Skill catalog · Updated October 16, 2026

Upload a talking-head video and get motion graphics in the Editorial Explainer style added automatically: notebook chapter pages, grey-paper data charts and yellow highlighter marks, alternating with your on-camera shots like a news explainer. Good for news explainers, current affairs and data stories. If the footage has obvious flubs, repeats or long pauses, it cleans them up first, then packages it. You get a packaged, editable timeline ready to tweak and export. Works best with clear audio and one presenter.

What this Skill does

Use when the user wants a talking-head video packaged with Motion Graphics in the Editorial Explainer Design Style (news explainers, current affairs and data stories). Requires footage of a presenter speaking to camera.
