- Cost: ~55–120 credits / run (estimate) — Whisper ~6 + six Nano Banana 2.1 stickers at 5.25–15.75 each + six Bria cutouts at ~3 each (catalog of 2026-10-23).
What it does
A presenter holds a mic in a living room while transparent cut-outs (pixel dolls, dollmaker screenshots) pop in around them on keywords, with small one-word captions up top and a script-font title hook. It is a proven creator editing style that keeps nostalgia and explainer content moving. An agent transcribes with Whisper, maps keywords to assets (generated with Nano Banana 2.1 and cut out with Bria, or user-supplied), animates bouncy pop-ins timed to word timestamps, keeps overlays off the face and inside safe zones, and renders 9:16 in HyperFrames.
Status
A format people ask for that has no dedicated skill yet. Make it with the skills on the use-case pages below, or with varg directly.
Example: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dLaZRxfccm8
How an agent would make it: Footage → Whisper word timestamps → keyword-to-sticker mapping (generate + cut out) → pop-in animation on words, one-word captions, title hook → 9:16 render
Models it drives: whisper, nano_banana_2_1, bria_guided_remove_background, render
