Waves

Layered waves: bands from the brand's accents stacked up the frame, each a slow sum of sines drifting sideways at its own speed, the front ones deeper.

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/waves --out waves.mov

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

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

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

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

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

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