Layer outlines.

Add a colored outline around the visible edge of a layer.

A clean outline grows around an irregular moving silhouette. Stroke applies to the layer’s alpha boundary rather than requiring a separately drawn path. The polygon, border width, position, colour and timing remain editable.

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 Strata contour study with a large irregular Meadow polygon on Bone and a neutral Exposure headline on the left. Animate its Stroke layer style from zero to 16 px outside the silhouette after the first beat; let the polygon tilt only a few degrees. Keep type crisp and unstyled. The border must be the silhouette layer style, not a path stroke or baked graphic.

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.

Outer glow

Add colored light around the outside edge of a graphic or title.

Gradient overlay

Apply a color gradient over a layer while keeping the treatment editable.

Drop shadow
