Vignette.

Darken the edges of a frame to draw attention toward its center.

A soft vignette gradually darkens the edge of the workshop shot, bringing attention inward. Its radial falloff is produced by the Vignette effect rather than a painted overlay. Amount, radius, feather, footage and the untouched type are editable.

A prompt to start from

Use Strata. Create an eight-second Strata vignette example with full-screen workshop footage. Leave the opening untreated, then ease the Vignette amount to 0.6 over 2.2 seconds, with radius 0.77 and soft feather 0.56. The moving craftsperson and pottery must remain the focus as the frame edges gently darken. Place the white Exposure headline “Keep the focus.” on the dark table area near the bottom left, with a smaller Denim Vignette label below. Keep the effect on footage only and retain a soft photographic appearance.

A few useful details.

How do I try this with my agent?
