# Add Apple-style liquid glass panes and titles to your video

> In the Tella editor, open the Tella Agent chat and ask for a liquid glass pane or title as a Tella Motion overlay, b-roll or a new Tella Motion clip. Tella Motion's liquid glass effect turns a shape into a pane of frosted glass that bends what's beneath it at the rim, or turns a title's letters into glass. Then ask for changes to its style, corner radius, frost, tint or light angle.

## How do I add a liquid glass (frosted glass) effect to a video?

In the Tella editor, open the [Tella Agent](https://www.tella.com/agent) chat and ask for a liquid glass pane or title as a [Tella Motion](https://www.tella.com/help/editing/tella-motion) overlay, b-roll or a new Tella Motion clip. Tella Motion's liquid glass effect turns a shape into a pane of frosted glass that bends what's beneath it at the rim, or turns a title's letters into glass. Then ask for changes to its style, corner radius, frost, tint or light angle.

## Prompt to start from

```text
When I say "three new features", add a Tella Motion overlay: a liquid glass pane in the bottom left, 640 by 180 px with 40 px rounded corners, using the regular preset. Inside it, write "Lumora 2.0" in bold white. Slide it up over 0.5 seconds, hold 5 seconds, then fade out.
```

## More prompts

### YouTube intro

```text
Make a Tella Motion clip with an orange to purple gradient background and blurred circles drifting slowly across it. Over it, make the title "Bramblecast" itself glass: big bold letters in a faint white, with the liquid glass effect following their outline. Fade the title in over one second.
```

### Product launch

```text
When I say "open settings", add a capsule-shaped liquid glass pane across the top of my screen recording with the clearLight preset and a light blue tint. Put "Quillmarsh sync is on" inside in dark gray. Give the glass a soft shadow and keep it on screen for 4 seconds.
```

## How to do it in Tella

1. Open your video in the Tella editor and open the Tella Agent chat.
2. Say where the glass goes: over a moment in your recording, or in a new Tella Motion clip.
3. Describe the pane or title: size, corner radius, style, and any text or tint.
4. Say how and when it animates in and out.
5. Play the preview and ask for changes like "more frost" or "rounder corners."

## Good to know

- Available to everyone: through the Tella Agent on a paid plan or the 7-day trial, or through Claude or ChatGPT on any plan.
- The glass shows and bends whatever is behind it, so it reads best over a busy or colorful background, not a flat color.
- A Tella Motion clip has no transcript, so glass inside it is timed from the start of the clip. To time it to your words, ask for an overlay or b-roll on a recorded clip.
- For a glass border around your screen or camera frame, you don't need Tella Motion: choose Glass under Border style in the Style panel.

## Questions people ask

### Which liquid glass styles can Tella Motion make?

The default is macOS 26's clear glass in dark mode. Presets add regular, control, bright, edge bleed, deep lens, lens, magnifier, thin bevel, subdued and scrim, each in a dark and a light version. On top of any preset you can change settings like corner radius, frost, tint, rainbow fringe, shadow and light angle.

### Can the glass effect animate?

Yes. Every number on Tella Motion's liquid glass effect can be keyframed, so you can ask the Tella Agent to increase the frost, move the light or change the bend over time. The pane itself can move, scale and fade like any other Tella Motion layer.

### Can Claude or ChatGPT add the liquid glass effect instead?

Yes. Connect [Claude](https://claude.ai/directory/tella) or [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6a7026f78434819186579d93d20ab38b?open_in_app) to Tella's [MCP server](https://www.tella.com/mcp) and it can use the same Tella Motion commands as the Tella Agent, including the fx.liquidGlass effect and its presets. The result shows up in your Tella video, and you can still edit it.
