Strata vs. Hyperframes
A native creative engine for your next video.
Looking for a Hyperframes alternative? Strata gives your agent a project model built around professional editing, motion graphics, compositing, and sound.
Free on Apple Silicon Mac. Your agent’s costs are separate.
Read the setup prompt
Help me set up Strata by Mirage so you can edit videos and create motion graphics locally. Read the official setup guide at https://mirage.app/strata/install. Check whether my computer and this agent support the local plugin, and use only Mirage’s official release links. If the appropriate release link is not available, tell me rather than guessing an install command. Once Strata is ready, ask me for my footage or the video I want to make.

Choose for the work you want to make.
Choose Strata when you want the project itself to be expressed in editing concepts. Hyperframes may fit a workflow built around HTML, web animation, and existing web-development expertise.

All Strata features →
Adjustment layers
Use an adjustment layer to change the look of the layers beneath it. Keep the treatment separate from the footage, text, and graphics so your agent can revise it in one place.
Keyframe animation
Set values at specific moments and let Strata animate between them. Your agent can refine the timing, positions, and easing while keeping the animation editable.
Speed ramps
Move from fast action into a slower moment, then accelerate again. Strata gives your agent an editable time-remap curve to control which source frame appears at each point.
A few useful details.
Can Hyperframes edit footage and audio?
Yes. Its documentation includes footage, motion graphics, audio, and color workflows. Strata’s distinction is its native creative project model, not exclusive access to those categories.
Can I import an existing Hyperframes project?
Automatic HTML project conversion is not part of this release. Bring your source media and creative brief to build a new Strata project.
Is Strata open source?
The local release provides a free binary with documented interfaces and examples. It does not publish the engine source. Refer to the official release license for deployment and embedding terms.
