Strata vs. Remotion
A creative project, built in the language of video.
Remotion makes video programmable with React. Strata gives agents a native project model for editing footage, animating graphics, compositing layers, and shaping 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.
React + web rendering

Web animation libraries
A web-based rendering pipeline
A native creative project
Video layers and compositions
Keyframes and adjustment layers
Native local preview and rendering
What changes in practice.
| Compare the approach | Remotion | Strata |
|---|---|---|
| Authoring model | React components driven by frames and time. | Editable layers, compositions, keyframes, effects, and audio. |
| Creative workflow | Use React and its ecosystem to define visual output. | Work directly with the editing controls represented in the project. |
| Revisions | Change components, properties, assets, and timing. | Change individual layers, animation controls, and composition timing. |
| Rendering | A browser-based rendering workflow with local and cloud options. | Native local preview and rendering on Apple Silicon Mac. |

Choose for the work you want to make.
Choose Strata for a workflow centered on footage and professional editing concepts. Remotion is a strong fit when you want React components and web development to be the basis of the video.

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 Remotion make sophisticated motion graphics?
Yes. React and browser rendering can produce complex animation and professional output. The choice here is how you want the agent to represent and revise the work.
Does Strata convert React projects?
Automatic Remotion project conversion is not part of this release. Bring the source assets and creative direction, then author 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.
