Effect order.

Decide whether a blur, grade, shadow, or distortion happens first.

The same two effects produce different edges when their order changes. Each stack remains independently editable, and reordering does not alter the underlying shapes.

Try it in your agent.

Use this prompt as a starting point. Review the result, then ask for the details you want to change.

A prompt to start from

Use Strata. Compose two colorful shape clusters on Bone. Apply blur then posterization to the left group, and the same settings in the reverse order to the right group. Preserve all four independent effect IDs. Use quiet explanatory captions under the clusters and a large stable title above.

A few useful details.

How do I try this with my agent?

Copy the prompt into your supported local agent with Strata installed. Review the preview, then ask for the changes you want. The composition stays editable as you refine it.

Where does the video render?

Strata previews and renders locally on an Apple Silicon Mac. The local engine is free; your agent’s subscription or usage costs are separate.
