Bracket

A curly bracket drawn along one side of a region from its middle out, its point reaching to a note — "these three", "all of this". Places in % of the frame.

Bracket at 16:9 — Playing live with volito/browser, the engine a render uses. Each tab lays the item out again for that shape, not a crop. The graphic is transparent; the grey stands in for your footage.

Render it

npx volito render annotate/bracket --prop label="These three" --out bracket.mov

That writes ProRes 4444 with alpha, ready to drop over footage. The same item in another shape, brand or format:

volito render annotate/bracket --aspect 9:16 --style cobalt --out bracket-9x16.mov
volito render annotate/bracket --format mp4 --out bracket.mp4
volito still annotate/bracket --t 1.5 --out bracket.png
volito info annotate/bracket     # every prop and part
volito add annotate/bracket      # copy its source into ./motion to edit

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

await renderVideo(findItem("annotate/bracket"), { props: { label: "These three" }, out: "bracket.mov" });

Or ask an agent with the MCP server connected: “Render the Volito bracket (annotate/bracket) in 9:16, in our brand.”
