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. Create an eight-second silent Strata mask-expansion study. Reveal moving water footage through a fixed 500 px circular guide at right of a Cloud canvas. Grow the actual path-mask expansion from 0 to 105 px over 3.4 seconds, beginning at 0.8 seconds; never scale or rewrite the guide geometry. At left use Exposure[-30] “Make / room.” and two small Denim lines “One guide. / More room.” Keep the center and media fixed so the expanded visible area is unmistakable. Demonstrate positive growth only; negative shrink is unsupported in the installed renderer.
