Chromatic split

A title whose colour channels arrive apart and snap together, then split again on a hit: a lens-fringe look in the brand's two accents.

Render it

npx volito render effects/chromatic --prop title="Signal found" --out chromatic.mov

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

volito render effects/chromatic --aspect 9:16 --style cobalt --out chromatic-9x16.mov
volito render effects/chromatic --format mp4 --out chromatic.mp4
volito still effects/chromatic --t 2 --out chromatic.png
volito info effects/chromatic     # every prop and part
volito add effects/chromatic      # copy its source into ./motion to edit

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

await renderVideo(findItem("effects/chromatic"), { props: { title: "Signal found" }, out: "chromatic.mov" });

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

Props

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

Film grain

Moving film grain and a soft vignette over footage: the grain re-rolls on every film frame, so it reads as real stock, not a still texture.

Light leak

Warm light bleeding in from the edge of the frame and drifting across it, in the brand's colours: for openings, transitions and a film feel over footage.

Glass card

A frosted glass card over soft moving colour: the ground blurs through the glass, a highlight runs along its edge, and the title sets on it.

Liquid warp

A title that settles out of a liquid ripple: rolling noise bends the letters, eases off until they read clean, then keeps a slow shimmer.

Neon sign

A neon sign that flickers on: glass tubes of light in the accent with a glow around them, a buzz of flicker as it strikes, then a steady hum.
