About this collection and license+
Every clip in this collection is AI-generated and hand-picked. Each one is light or particles against a black background, which is what makes them work as overlays: black disappears under a screen or lighten blend, leaving only the light.
All clips are HD (1920x1080) mp4 downloads. Use them in client work, YouTube videos, reels, and ads. Attribution is appreciated but not required. No signup and no watermark.
How to use overlay b-roll+
Screen blend, then pull the opacity down
Set the overlay layer to screen or lighten and the black drops out completely. Start at 100 percent to see the effect, then pull back to 30 or 40 percent, which is usually where it stops looking like an effect.
Light leaks hide cuts
Place the warm light leak across a hard cut so the brightest part of the sweep lands on the edit point. The eye follows the light and the cut disappears underneath it.
Match the particle to the scene
Embers and sparks suit warm interiors and fire. Caustics belong on anything near water. Fog and smoke sit over almost anything, which is why they are the two worth grabbing first.
How do I use a video overlay?+
Drop the clip on a layer above your footage and set the blend mode to screen or lighten. The black background disappears and only the light or particles remain. Lower the layer opacity to control the strength.
Can I use these clips commercially?+
Yes. All clips are licensed for commercial use in videos, ads, and client projects. You cannot resell or redistribute the raw clips themselves.
Do the overlays have a watermark?+
No. Every clip downloads as a clean HD mp4 with no watermark and no signup.
