Multiplayer cursors

Several people's cursors at once, each with a name tag in its own colour, drifting over the frame on their own paths and clicking now and then — a live, shared document.

Multiplayer cursors 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 cursors/multiplayer --out multiplayer.mov

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

volito render cursors/multiplayer --aspect 9:16 --style cobalt --out multiplayer-9x16.mov
volito render cursors/multiplayer --format mp4 --out multiplayer.mp4
volito still cursors/multiplayer --t 3 --out multiplayer.png
volito info cursors/multiplayer     # every prop and part
volito add cursors/multiplayer      # copy its source into ./motion to edit

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

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

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

More in Cursors

Agent cursor

An AI agent working a UI: its cursor glides to each target while its name tag types out the step, clicks with a ring, moves on, and ends with a check and the done line. Places in % of the frame.

Drag and drop

The cursor picks up a file card — it lifts, with a deeper shadow — carries it along a curve to a dashed drop zone that lights up as it arrives, lets go, and the zone confirms.

Text select

Selecting text: a paragraph on a card, an I-beam drags across a phrase as the highlight grows word by word, lets go, and a small toolbar pops over the selection with one action pressed.

Context menu

A right-click: the cursor arrives and clicks, a menu opens beside it with items and shortcuts, the cursor moves to one item — it lights up — and clicks it, and the menu closes. Places in % of the frame.
