Still-image layers.

Mix photos, screenshots, and other still images with footage.

Bring a still image into a moving composition. The photograph remains an independent image layer while the surrounding print and caption drift together. The photo framing, card, typography and motion can all be revised separately.

A prompt to start from

Use Strata. Create an eight-second Strata still-image study with the supplied coastal JPEG, on a Mirage Sky canvas. Place “Still.” and “Full of life.” as a large, quiet Exposure[-30] composition on the left. On the right, frame the photograph in an editable Bone print with 22 px top and side insets and a more generous lower border for “A moment, kept.” in Denim INK. Use a Image layer for the photograph and separate text/card elements. Gently rotate the parent print from−4 to+3 degrees and give it a subtle vertical drift. Keep the image itself frozen, the print well clear of the canvas edges, and all text readable throughout. No sound is needed.

A few useful details.

What source material does the example need?

Use the images packaged with the example, or prepare your own image assets for the supported Strata setup.

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.
