Split a layer.

Cut one visual or audio layer into separately editable pieces.

Split a video layer into independently editable pieces. At 3.2s the workshop film continues from the same source point while switching from a wide frame to a taller crop. The preserved unsplit source and final two-layer project show contiguous source and timeline ranges.

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 split-layer example. Start with a wide workshop shot beside “One shot. / Two choices.” At 3.2 seconds, cut to an independently reframed narrower version of the same continuous shot. Use two separate Video layers with contiguous active ranges and contiguous source windows, preserving normal playback. Keep the original unsplit eight-second layer in a separate before project and the two editable pieces in the final source. Use the local JSON authoring route and do not claim the unavailable split action was invoked.

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.
