About this library
Every asset ships with true alpha transparency in WebM and ProRes 4444, so it drops straight onto your timeline in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, After Effects, or CapCut — no green screen or compositing work.
Most assets are fully editable too: add one to your workspace and adjust the text, colors, timing, and layout right in your browser, then export as WebM or ProRes 4444 — no editing software or AI tokens needed. Want a different look? Create your own from a short text prompt.
How to use these free video effects
Every asset in the library is a transparent video file with a true alpha channel, available as WebM or ProRes 4444. To add one to your project, download the file, import it into your editor, and drop it on a track above your footage. The transparent background composites cleanly — no green screen removal, luma mattes, or compositing setup required.
These free overlays, transitions, lower thirds, and motion graphics work in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, After Effects, and CapCut, and are ready for YouTube, TikTok, Shorts, and live streams in OBS. Most assets are fully editable, too — add one to your workspace and adjust its text, colors, timing, and layout in your browser before you export, with no editing software required. Browse by category above to find the exact effect you need, or create your own with a text prompt.
Frequently asked questions
How do I download and use these free video effects?
Open an asset and export ProRes 4444 for the widest professional editor compatibility, then place it on a track above your footage. Use WebM for OBS and web workflows. Transparent WebM can show glow or shadow artifacts in CapCut.
Are these video assets really free to use, even commercially?
Yes. You can add and customize every community asset for free, then download one per day with a watermark. You can use it in your videos, including commercial projects, with no attribution required. Downloads paid for with tokens have no watermark.
What is an alpha channel video and why does it matter?
An alpha channel stores transparency information alongside the picture, so an overlay can sit on top of your footage without a solid background box. That's what lets these subscribe buttons, lower thirds, and particle effects blend seamlessly into any scene. We provide alpha-channel video as WebM (VP9) and ProRes 4444.
Should I use the WebM or the ProRes 4444 version?
Use ProRes 4444 for editing because it offers the widest professional compatibility, including Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and After Effects. Use WebM for OBS and web delivery. Transparent WebM can show glow or shadow artifacts in CapCut.
Can I create my own custom video effects?
Yes. AI generation is available with any paid token pack: describe what you want, optionally upload a reference image, then fine-tune the generated transparent asset before exporting it as WebM or ProRes 4444. Free accounts can customize and download one Community asset per day with a watermark.
