Put the vertigo effect on your own talking-head clip and get an MP4 back. A dolly zoom. You hold your size while a gridded corridor stretches away behind you, then the camera flies down it. Runs on the shared engine in video-effects. Use when someone says "vertigo", "vertigo", "dolly zoom", "hitchcock zoom" or "add the dolly zoom effect to my video".

vertigo
A dolly zoom. You hold your size while a gridded corridor stretches away behind you, then the camera flies down it.
What you need
- Your clip. A vertical or landscape MP4 of you talking to camera, head and shoulders in shot. At least 2s long.
- No words. This effect shows none.
- The engine. Install
video-effectsbeside this skill and follow its setup once (ffmpeg, Node, Puppeteer, torch).
Run it
node ~/.claude/skills/video-effects/run.cjs vertigo my-clip.mp4 vertigo.mp4It plays for 1.15s from --at (default 0.6s), then hands back to your shot. Change the length with --len. Add --check to test the fit and load without rendering.
What you get
vertigo.mp4: 1080x1920, 30fps, H.264, your audio kept, the same length as your clip.
The effect itself is video-effects/fx/13-vertigo.js. Edit that file to change it.
