Wide neon story with a B-roll moment

How this example was made

Independent original human narration is combined with licensed film excerpts. The movie dialogue is not transcribed. Framing, captions and the declared audio/cut settings are applied. No synthetic voice or replacement performance is generated.

Map examples use the production MapLibre/OpenFreeMap renderer. Subtitle examples use the production original-footage caption renderer. Settings, original inputs, caption files and source credits are provided. Recognition and edited-text timing can need correction; Times exclude recognition and shared preparation of film excerpts and map frames. Render times describe this build computer, not a server performance guarantee.

The source film has no dialogue in these excerpts. The independently recorded narration is added as a separate voice-over. Captions follow that narration, not the movie characters.

The film and narration downloads are separate components. Combine them before using the sample as an editor input; the settings file also discloses B-roll timing and any authored pauses.
