# Strata by Mirage

> Professional creative tools for your AI agent: edit footage, create motion graphics, composite layers, and shape sound in an editable project.

Use Strata for creative work on footage, text, graphics, and supplied audio. The local runtime previews and renders on Apple Silicon Mac. The engine is free; your agent's subscription or usage costs are separate.

The feature pages below contain visible demonstrations, explanations, and prompts for a supported local agent with Strata installed. Review the preview and refine the same editable composition through your agent.
