> TL;DR: Type "Add an animated chart of these numbers" with your figures, and Vidiyo moves you into a card on the lower half of the frame and animates a bar, line, donut or before-and-after chart above you. Bars grow as you speak, the key value is highlighted, and you slide back to full frame when the point is made.

## What Vidiyo does

1. Reads the numbers you gave, or the ones you say in the video.
2. Picks a chart type: bars for rankings, a line for change over time, a donut for a split, or before and after.
3. Animates your video into a rounded card on the lower half, leaving the top for the chart.
4. Builds the chart with your labels and values, styled by the brand, highlighting the value that matters.
5. Anchors each beat to the words you say, then animates you back to full frame.
6. Checks the frames for readable labels and an uncovered face.

Numbers in a talking-head video land better when people can see them. This prompt turns a few figures into an animated chart that plays while you explain it, without leaving the editor.

## What does Vidiyo do when you say this?

Vidiyo animates your video into a rounded card on the lower half of the frame and builds an animated chart in the space above. Bars grow from the baseline as you talk, values count up, and the one that matters is highlighted while the others dim. When the point is made, you slide back to full frame.

The chart picks up your brand colours and font. Each beat, like the card appearing, the bars growing and the highlight, is anchored to a word in your transcript, so it stays on your voice through later edits. The assistant uses only the numbers you give, and if a figure is derived, it says so.

## How do you phrase it?

Give the numbers and say which one matters:

- "Add an animated chart of these numbers: Shorts 46, Search 22, Suggested 18"
- "Show a line graph of our signups from January to June" (with the figures)
- "Make a donut showing 70% mobile, 30% desktop"
- "Before and after: 12 minutes to edit, then 3"
- "Bar chart of the four tools I compare, highlight ours"

Attaching a small CSV or pasting a table works too. Say which value to highlight, or the assistant picks the largest.

## How would you do this by hand?

By hand, you'd build the chart in a spreadsheet or design tool, export it, animate it in a motion design app, render it, and drop it into your editor. Then you'd animate your own video into a smaller frame so the chart has room, and line everything up with your words. Changing one number means repeating most of it.

## What should you check afterwards?

Read every label on a phone-sized preview. Short labels read best, so "Search" beats "Organic search traffic". Check that your face stays fully inside the card. If the numbers change before you publish, tell Vidiyo the new values and it updates the chart in place.

## Honest limits

- Charts are built from numbers you provide. Vidiyo doesn't connect to spreadsheets or live data.
- Output is 1080p at 30 fps.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I give Vidiyo the numbers?

Type them in the message as label and value pairs, attach a CSV or text file, or point to the line where you say them. The assistant uses only the figures you give and never invents data.

### What chart types are there?

Bar charts (across or upright), line graphs, donut splits and before-and-after comparisons, plus counters and progress rings for single numbers. The assistant can also design a custom chart scene.

### How many values fit in one chart?

Up to six bars across or seven upright. More than that gets hard to read on a phone, so the assistant suggests splitting or grouping.
