In the studio

Open in Studio spawns this shader as a live layer with your settings. It composites like any other layer — behind a cut-out subject, clipped inside text, under a halftone or CRT pass, or exported as looping video. Everything runs on your device.

Requirements

The live preview needs WebGPU: Chrome or Edge 113+, Firefox 141+, or Safari 26 (macOS 26 / iOS 26). Without it, this page shows a still frame.
