Free Light Leaks, Film Grain, Bokeh and Lens Flare Overlays
Light leaks are the warm streaks that sneak into the frame on film cameras. Digital footage does not have them, so editors add them back for nostalgia, warmth and a bit of imperfection. Film grain, dust, bokeh and lens flares round out the same filmic toolkit.
These overlays have a transparent background and drop straight onto your footage. Use them for transitions, title moments and mood.

Blend modes still help
The background is already transparent, so a light leak sits on your footage as is. For a brighter, more luminous result, try the Screen or Add blend mode, and lower opacity for subtlety.
