Layer order and nesting.

Change stacking and organization while retaining editable elements.

Change hierarchy and stacking to clarify a composition. The Sea card moves in front of its siblings, and its title becomes a child of the same group so both move together. Before and after sources retain the actual layer order and parent changes.

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 layered-card composition. Bring a Sea card and “In front.” title forward as a single Group, with Cloud and Sunset cards overlapping behind. Animate the new parent so its card and reparented title move together. Preserve before/after tree evidence showing the previous back-to-front ordering and the title at root. Use local JSON hierarchy editing, without claiming an unavailable host action invocation.

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.
