Cued Animations

An infographic video maker that works from what you said

Not a template you fill in. A panel composed from your own transcript, timed to your own delivery.

Cueits is an infographic video maker for talking-head footage. You upload a clip of yourself speaking, and Cueits transcribes it with word-level timestamps, decides what the argument is, and builds an animated infographic panel above you — charts, statistics, lists, quotes, terminal output — with every element revealed on the exact phrase that motivates it. A finished 1080×1920 MP4 takes about two minutes.

How it works, step by step

  1. 01

    Upload your talking-head clip

    Any video of someone explaining something to camera. Portrait or landscape, up to 100MB. Cueits corrects the rotation, so a phone shot sideways lands the right way up.

  2. 02

    Check the transcript

    Cueits transcribes the audio with a timestamp on every word. You correct anything it misheard, because the transcript is what the panel is built from and what every reveal is timed against.

  3. 03

    Say what the panel should argue

    One sentence. This is the only brief Cueits asks for, and it steers what the panel makes of your words rather than inventing a subject of its own.

  4. 04

    Pick a look

    Thirty-one animation presets, each a complete identity: its own typography, palette and signature elements. Five are available on the free plan.

  5. 05

    Export

    Cueits renders a 1080×1920 MP4, or 1920×1080 if you chose landscape. About two minutes of machine time. The graphic is redrawn at your export resolution rather than upscaled.

What is an infographic video?

An infographic video is a video whose information is carried by on-screen graphics as well as by speech — charts, figures, labelled lists and callouts that appear as the narration reaches them. In short-form vertical video it usually means a panel above or beside the speaker rather than a full-screen animation.

The distinction that matters commercially is between a template and a composition. A template is a designed slide you type your own numbers into, and it looks like every other video made from the same template. A composition is generated for one script, so the shape of the graphic follows the shape of the argument: a comparison draws as a comparison, a sequence draws as a sequence, a single number draws as a single number.

Cueits composes. There are 129 elements in the catalogue and the planner picks the ones your sentences actually call for.

How do you add graphics to a talking-head video automatically?

Automatically means the tool decides three things for you: what to draw, what it should say, and when it should appear. Most tools that advertise automatic graphics only decide the third — you still choose the graphic and type its contents, and the tool places it on a beat.

Cueits decides all three from the transcript. Because the transcription carries a timestamp on every word, a reveal can be anchored to the exact phrase that motivates it rather than to a beat grid. A statistic appears as you say the number. A list item appears as you reach it.

The alternative, done by hand, is an hour in an editor per video, placing graphics against a waveform.

What does the finished video look like?

In portrait, the panel owns the top 55 per cent of a 1080×1920 frame and you own the bottom 45 per cent, cropped from your own upload and otherwise untouched. The crop is centred on where a seated speaker's face actually sits rather than on the middle of the frame, so nobody is decapitated.

Landscape is 1920×1080 and puts the panel beside you instead of above you.

Nothing about your footage is regenerated, restyled or replaced. The panel is the only thing Cueits draws.

Who is this for?

People who explain things on camera in short form: founders, educators, analysts, technical explainers, anyone posting a take with a number in it.

The common thread is that the video already contains an argument and the visual layer is the part that is too expensive to make. If your video is a vlog or a piece of entertainment, there is no argument for a panel to draw and this is the wrong tool.

Questions

Does Cueits write the script?
No. Cueits works from a video you have already recorded and never writes words for you to say. The one sentence it asks for steers what the panel makes of your transcript.
Can I edit the panel after it is generated?
Yes. The beat studio lets you change the wording, swap the element a beat draws, move a beat boundary and correct any figure, before you spend a render on it.
What happens if Cueits has no data for part of the panel?
It leaves the slot empty. Cueits never fills a graphic with invented figures or placeholder copy — an element with nothing real to show is dropped rather than made up.
How long can the video be?
Sixty seconds on the free plan and three minutes on Starter. Uploads are capped at 100MB, which is roughly fifty seconds of typical 1080p phone footage, so a longer clip needs to be compressed first.
