How to use this asset+

This 1920x1080 transparent video asset is 5 seconds long and exports in WebM (with alpha channel) and ProRes 4444 formats.

Premiere Pro: Place on a track above your footage. For luminous or light-leak effects, set the Blend Mode to Screen or Add in Effect Controls. For opaque decorative overlays, keep it at Normal.

DaVinci Resolve: Drop on a track above footage in the Edit page. Set Composite Mode in the Inspector to Screen for glowing overlays or Normal for opaque frames.

Final Cut Pro: Add above your primary storyline. Use the Inspector > Compositing section to set the blend mode. Adjust Opacity to taste.

CapCut: Add as an overlay layer. Use the blend mode picker in the overlay toolbar — try Screen for light effects, Normal for decorative overlays.

OBS Studio: Add as a Media Source and layer above your scene sources. WebM alpha transparency means no chroma key needed — the overlay sits cleanly above your content.

Tips

Use 50–80% opacity for decorative overlays to add texture without overpowering your subject.
Match the overlay color temperature to your footage — warm overlays work better with warm footage, cool with cool.
Screen blend mode is ideal for fire, light leaks, and energy effects. Normal blend mode works best for opaque frames and borders.

Frequently asked questions+

How do I get transparency to work in OBS?

WebM with alpha channel works natively in OBS as a Media Source. No chroma key or plugin required — just add the file and the transparency is automatic.

Can I use these overlays for Twitch streaming?

Yes. Add the WebM as a Media Source in OBS or Streamlabs and layer it above your game capture or webcam source.

Can I combine overlays with color grading?

Yes — place the overlay above your color-graded footage layer. The blend mode and opacity stack on top of your grade.
