# Layered Video Composition

> Stack multiple video layers with vintage and bokeh effects, add a picture-in-picture overlay, and sequence text with fade, difference, overlay, and evaporate motion — all in 4K from a single request.

A cinematic edit built entirely from layered elements: two full-frame video tracks carry different looks, a bordered PiP clip drops in mid-timeline, and four text elements each use a different motion preset to land, blend, overlay, and dissolve on cue.

**Features used:** [`vintage` / `camera_lens_blur` effects](/renders/examples/effects), [video positioning & borders](/renders/elements#video), [`fade` / `difference` / `overlay` / `evaporate` motion presets](/renders/examples/motion)

### How the video layers stack

`vid2` and `vid1` are both full-frame clips that play from the start — `vid2` carries a `vintage` effect while `vid1` sits on top at 50% volume with a `camera_lens_blur`. At second 30, `vid3` fades in as a picture-in-picture in the bottom-right corner (`x`/`y`/`width`/`height` as percentages), with rounded corners and a thin black border via `border_radius`, `border_width`, and `border_color`.

### Text motion by beat

| Text                     | `motion.type` | Effect                                              |
| ------------------------ | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| "We destroy the world?!" | `fade`        | Fades in over 5 seconds starting at second 5        |
| "Albert"                 | `difference`  | Difference-blend mode for the full 15-second window |
| Chain reaction quote     | `overlay`     | Overlay blend layered on the same timeline window   |
| "I believe we did!"      | `evaporate`   | Dissolves away character-by-character at the close  |

Each text element uses `time` and `duration` to control when it appears and how long the motion runs. See the [motion presets](/renders/examples/motion) page for all available types.
