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.

Render it

npx volito render effects/warp --prop title="Fluid by design" --out warp.mov

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

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

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

await renderVideo(findItem("effects/warp"), { props: { title: "Fluid by design" }, out: "warp.mov" });

Or ask an agent with the MCP server connected: “Render the Volito liquid warp (effects/warp) 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.

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.

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.
