Free Sparkle, Magic, Glitter and Neon Effects

Sparkles, magic dust, auras and electric arcs are the effects that make a moment feel special: a reveal, a power-up, a product shot, a wedding clip. They are small and light, so they are easy to drop over almost any footage.

Every effect is a transparent clip. Choose a Community one, tune the colours to your palette and export.

Effects in this family

Getting a better result

Match the effect colour to a colour already in the shot. Track it to your subject if it follows motion, and keep the opacity low so it enhances rather than hides the image.

Export ProRes 4444 for Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro, and WebM with alpha for OBS and the web. Transparent WebM can show glow or shadow artifacts in CapCut, so preview it there first.
