Split a layer.

Cut one visual or audio layer into separately editable pieces.

Split a video layer into independently editable pieces. At 3.2s the workshop film continues from the same source point while switching from a wide frame to a taller crop. The preserved unsplit source and final two-layer project show contiguous source and timeline ranges.

Try it in your agent.

A prompt to start from

Use Tesseract. Create an eight-second silent Tesseract split-layer example. Start with a wide workshop shot beside “One shot. / Two choices.” At 3.2 seconds, cut to an independently reframed narrower version of the same continuous shot. Use two separate Video layers with contiguous active ranges and contiguous source windows, preserving normal playback. Keep the original unsplit eight-second layer in a separate before project and the two editable pieces in the final source. Use the local JSON authoring route and do not claim the unavailable split action was invoked.

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.
