Retro grid

Synthwave: a neon grid floor rushing toward you under a striped sun and a glowing horizon, stars twinkling above.

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/retro-grid --out retro-grid.mov

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

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

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

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

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

Props

Set each with --prop name=value, or all at once with --props and a JSON object.
