Pop-out cuts you out of your camera recording and places you in front of a smaller, shaped camera frame, adding depth. Turn on Pop-out in a layout that frames your camera, such as Camera Bubble, then adjust it in Customize layout. The video below starts at the Pop-out walkthrough (1:41): turning it on, and adjusting the pop-out amount and outline. The frame background setting shown in the video has moved to Camera background in the Style tool. The earlier part covers Cut out, and 3:09 onward covers overlays behind the presenter.

​
Turn on Pop-out

  1. Open your video and click Layout.
  2. Choose a layout that shows your camera inside a frame, such as Camera Bubble or a centered camera-only layout.
  3. Turn on Pop-out in the layout controls.
You can also open Customize layout and turn on Pop-out under Camera style. The effect applies to the current base layout or layout section.
Pop-out needs a clip with a camera recording and a layout that frames it. It is unavailable for screen-only and full-frame camera layouts.

​
Change the Pop-out amount and outline

Open Customize layout and use the Pop-out settings:
  • Pop-out amount: control how far the frame drops behind you.
  • Outline: adjust the frame outline width. Increase it above 0% to reveal Outline color.
  • Outline color: choose the color of the frame outline.
To blur the room inside the frame or fill it with a solid color, use Camera background in the Style tool. See Blur or replace your camera background after recording. Use Camera style to switch the frame between Circle, Square, Landscape, and Portrait. With Circle, the Pop-out frame stays circular even in a tall split layout: it is centered in the frame and sized to its shorter side, rather than stretched into an oval. Pop-out keeps the selected shape as you adjust the other settings. The frame’s corners follow the Shape you chose in the Style tool (Square, Round, or Squircle), so a Square camera style can give you a sharp, rounded, or squircle frame to match your other layers. See Borders.
Add a shadow from the Style tool to make the frame stand out from the canvas. The shadow follows the Pop-out frame’s shape.

​
Can I use Pop-out with Cut out or other layouts?

Pop-out stays enabled when you switch between compatible framed-camera layouts. A Cut-out layout removes the frame completely, so choosing it turns Pop-out off. If you turn on Pop-out while using Cut-out, Tella changes the camera to a square frame first. To reuse the result in other videos, save the layout to Favorites from Customize layout. See Custom layouts for the complete workflow.
