Retime a layer.

Adjust a layer's timeline interval and source relationship.

Change a clip’s place and trim while retaining its natural playback speed. The coastal film begins at 1.1s and reads source 1.1–8s, replacing the original full-duration layer. Its active and source ranges remain explicit and separately editable.

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 Tesseract. Create an eight-second silent Tesseract timing study. Set “Arrive / on cue.” at left and a calm Sky frame at right. The coastal Video enters at 1.1 seconds. Implement a real start trim: both activeRange.start and sourceRange.start advance 1100 ms, with both durations reduced to 6900 ms so the playback rate remains 1x. Keep a separate before source with the original 0–8s layer. The target is timing data; do not fake the entrance with opacity or claim an unavailable retime API.

Tesseract plugins and runtime downloads are coming soon.

A few useful details.

How do I try this with my agent?

Tesseract plugins and runtime downloads are coming soon. Save the sample prompt for launch. Once Tesseract is installed, your local agent can use it to create, preview, and refine an editable project.

Where does the video render?

Tesseract previews and renders locally on a Mac. The local engine is free; your agent’s subscription or usage costs are separate.
