Comments

Comment cards appear one by one: a picture or initials, the name, the time, the words typing on and a like count.

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 social/comments --out comments.mov

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

volito render social/comments --aspect 9:16 --style cobalt --out comments-9x16.mov
volito render social/comments --format mp4 --out comments.mp4
volito still social/comments --t 3.5 --out comments.png
volito info social/comments     # every prop and part
volito add social/comments      # copy its source into ./motion to edit

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

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

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

Props

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