Add a sale badge to input.mp4 Top line, bottom line: 30%, OFF
Several videos, several effects, one ask
Put your clips in the folder, mention them with @, and ask for everything at once. Claude runs one tested script after another on each clip, then joins them.
Add a sale badge to @clip1.mp4, put a VHS look on @clip2.mp4, give @clip3.mp4 boxed captions, then join all three with crossfades.
Settings you can change
Ask Claude to change any of these, or edit them at the top of the script.
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
TOP_LINE, BOTTOM_LINE | 30%, OFF | The two lines on the badge. |
START | 0.5 | Second the badge pops in. |
COLOR | (230, 30, 45) | Badge color. |
TILT | -10 | Rotation in degrees. |

Add a sale badge to input.mp4: a red (230, 30, 45) circle 30% of the frame width across, with "30%" over "OFF" in white and a thin white ring inside, tilted -10 degrees, centered at 78% across and 14% down. It pops in at 0.5 seconds over 0.35 seconds with a slight overshoot, then stays. Use Python with Pillow to draw it and ffmpeg to put it on the video (don't rely on ffmpeg's drawtext filter), keep the audio, and save it as output.mp4.Run it without Claude
This is the exact script we tested. Save it as sale-badge.py and run:
python3 sale-badge.py input.mp4 output.mp4Show the script
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Sale badge: a round red "30% OFF" sticker pops onto the top-right corner, tilted slightly.
Usage: python3 sale-badge.py input.mp4 output.mp4
Needs ffmpeg and Pillow (pip install pillow).
