Change the pace within a shot.

Move from fast action into a slower moment, then accelerate again. Strata gives your agent an editable time-remap curve to control which source frame appears at each point.

A continuous skateboarding shot changes pace through editable time remapping.

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 to speed-ramp this skateboarding shot. Start quickly, slow down around the trick, then return to a faster pace. Keep it as an editable video layer with a time-remap curve. Show me the timing in a preview and let me adjust where the slowdown starts. Keep the source audio separate while we refine the visual timing.

Keep control of the result.

Ramp timing
Place the acceleration and slowdown around the action.
Curve shape
Refine the change in speed without rebuilding the shot.

A few useful details.

Can I refine exactly where the slowdown happens?

Yes. Change the time-remap curve to place the slowdown around a particular moment in the source footage. Preview the movement after each adjustment.

How should I handle sound during a ramp?

Keep dialogue and music on separate audio layers while refining the visual timing. Nonlinear visual time remapping does not automatically provide matching, pitch-preserved audio.

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.
