Layer outlines.

Add a colored outline around the visible edge of a layer.

A clean outline grows around an irregular moving silhouette. Stroke applies to the layer’s alpha boundary rather than requiring a separately drawn path. The polygon, border width, position, colour and timing remain editable.

Try it in your agent.

Use this prompt as a starting point. Review the result, then ask for the details you want to change.

A prompt to start from

Use Tesseract. Create an eight-second Tesseract contour study with a large irregular Meadow polygon on Bone and a neutral Exposure headline on the left. Animate its Stroke layer style from zero to 16 px outside the silhouette after the first beat; let the polygon tilt only a few degrees. Keep type crisp and unstyled. The border must be the silhouette layer style, not a path stroke or baked graphic.

A few useful details.

How do I try this with my agent?

Copy the prompt into your supported local agent with Tesseract installed. Review the preview, then ask for the changes you want. The composition stays editable as you refine it.

Where does the video render?

Tesseract previews and renders locally on macOS, Windows, or Linux. The local engine is free; your agent’s subscription or usage costs are separate.

Read the prompt

Set up Tesseract by Mirage so you can create editable designs, edit videos, and make motion graphics in this agent’s environment. Read https://github.com/mirage-hq/Tesseract and check the requirements for this local or hosted environment. If it is supported, follow the official plugin or skills installation guide, use its required runtime version, verify the download checksum, and confirm a short preview renders correctly. Then ask what I want to make and which brand references or source assets I have. Keep the editable project and source assets with the finished render.
