Posterize time.

Give a layer a stepped, low-frame-rate look while the rest of the composition plays normally.

The same moment plays continuously on the left and in four deliberate steps each second on the right. Posterize Time quantizes the right video while the composition remains at 24 fps. The source and frame-rate control remain editable.

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. Design an eight-second side-by-side Strata motion comparison on Mirage Bone. Show the exact same coastal video twice at matching scale and source time. Label the left “Continuous motion” and the right “Four frames a second”. Use actual Posterize Time at four fps on only the right video, retaining a 24 fps composition. Let the source movement demonstrate the difference; no simulated holds, text animation or external retiming.

A few useful details.

Does the entire export change frame rate?

No. The treatment steps the selected layer’s time while the composition keeps its output frame rate. The effect’s rate is fixed, and it is not applied through an adjustment layer.

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.
