Gradient overlay.

Apply a color gradient over a layer while keeping the treatment editable.

A single gradient flows across a silhouette assembled from separate circles. Gradient Overlay colours the compound shape without replacing its geometry or its original fills. Gradient stops, direction, opacity, shapes and timing remain editable.

Try it in your agent.

A prompt to start from

Use Strata. Create an eight-second Strata colour reveal with a cloud-like silhouette assembled from three overlapping circles on the right and a neutral Exposure headline on the left. Start the geometry in Medium Gray. Fade its actual Gradient Overlay layer style to full opacity between 1 and 3 seconds, using a Sky-to-Sea-to-Meadow diagonal gradient. The colour must respect the composed alpha silhouette. Keep all circles and the independent overlay gradient editable.
