const layer = new etro.layer.Visual({
  startTime: 0,
  duration: 5,
  x: 0, // default: 0
  y: 0, // default: 0
  width: 400, // default: null (full width)
  height: 400, // default: null (full height)
  background: etro.parseColor("red"), // default: null (transparent)
  border: {
    // default: null (no border)
    color: etro.parseColor("black"),
    thickness: 2,
  },
  opacity: 1, // default: 1
});
