Speaker Card

Person intro with presence: a solid card surface, rounded portrait, and oversized name. Leave photo out and the card is text only, sized to the name. Leaves quietly by default with a blur-out (blur + lift); exit sound stays available by naming a cue in the exitSfx prop.

How to use it

Put this in your video

Introduce whoever is on screen, in an interview or a talk cut. Paste this into Claude Code, Codex, or any coding agent.

Prompt

Use the OverlayMotion video templates from https://github.com/ricardo/overlay-motion Add the Speaker Card template at 2s with the name Ricardo Metring, role Developer of OverlayMotion, and my portrait photo. Hold it 4 seconds and let it blur out.

Have ready: The name, the role, and a portrait photo.
Works over any clip, and still renders with no clip at all.
Defaults to the center of the frame for about 5 seconds. Ask for another spot, a start time, or a longer hold.
A correction is one sentence: “Text only, no photo.”

Template props

Inputs

Everything inside the overlay's props. Omit one and its default applies.

nametextRequired

roletextOptional

phototextOptional

Portrait photo, rounded square left of the text. Omit it and the card drops the portrait and shrinks to the name instead of leaving a gap.

sfxfalse | cue name | file pathDefault "whoosh"

Sound as the card arrives. false is silence, any cue name or audio path swaps it.

Spec knobs

What the spec changes without touching props

These live on the overlay, not in this template. They are renderer-provided, so they behave the same here as on every other template.

region: Where it sits. One of the 12 named boxes, or your own { "x": 62, "y": 12, "w": 34, "h": 42 } in percent of the frame. This template is designed around center, which is what it uses when the spec says nothing.
fullscreentop-bannerlower-thirdupper-thirdcaption-zoneleft-panelright-panelcentercorner-tlcorner-trcorner-blcorner-br
scale: Uniform size inside the resolved region, 0.25 to 2. Props that size the artwork stay relative to the region box, so scale is how an overlay grows past it.
time: When it lives: start, duration, or the appear + hold pair (entrance length plus how long the finished overlay stays). Seconds (3s), percentages (66%) and negative seconds from the end (-2s) are all valid.
motion: Object motion, applied to the element itself so nothing is cropped or zoomed. This template ships { "style": "sway-3d" }; the spec replaces it, retunes it with amount (0..1) and its own time window, stacks several by passing an array, or stops it with { "style": "none" }. The oscillating styles also take frequency, seed, rampSec and rampOutSec; the one-shot skew-* sweeps take their tempo from time instead.
shakewobblefloatsway-3dskew-rightskew-leftskew-upskew-downnone
enter: Renderer-owned entrance, 0.6s, identical on every template. It stacks with whatever entrance the template already runs, so set the template's own entrance prop to none when you drive it from here.
slide-leftslide-rightspringmask
exit: How it leaves: blur-out melts it away, fade-down drifts down, shrink scales to center (0.9s each), vanish pops it out of existence in 0.45s. Set one and the template's own fade steps aside.
blur-outfade-downshrinkvanish
camera: Moves the region's VIEWPORT rather than the element: push-in, pull-out, the pan-* family, handheld. Its own transform layer, so it stacks with motion, enter, exit and scale.
sound: Per-overlay override of the spec's sound block: enabled, volume, and a sounds map that remaps one cue by name ({ "pop": "ding" }, a path to your own file, or false to mute just that cue). The map is keyed by CUE, so remapping pop also changes an exit: "vanish", which fires pop too. To change only this template's own sound, use its sfx prop instead. Core palette: click, pop, whoosh, ding, typewriter.
