Paper-cut hills

Paper-cut hills: layers of cut paper from pale to the accent, each casting a soft shadow on the one behind and drifting at its own depth, with a paper sun low in the sky.

Paper-cut hills 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.

Render it

npx volito render backdrops/paper-cut --out paper-cut.mov

That writes ProRes 4444. The same item in another shape, brand or format:

volito render backdrops/paper-cut --aspect 9:16 --style cobalt --out paper-cut-9x16.mov
volito render backdrops/paper-cut --format mp4 --out paper-cut.mp4
volito still backdrops/paper-cut --t 4 --out paper-cut.png
volito info backdrops/paper-cut     # every prop and part
volito add backdrops/paper-cut      # copy its source into ./motion to edit

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

await renderVideo(findItem("backdrops/paper-cut"), { props: {}, out: "paper-cut.mov" });

Or ask an agent with the MCP server connected: “Render the Volito paper-cut hills (backdrops/paper-cut) in 9:16, in our brand.”
