City lights out of focus at night

Warm white, amber and red city lights thrown fully out of focus on black, drifting sideways like a slow pan. Screen it over a night interior or a talking head to put a city behind it.

A light leaks and rays shot from the video overlay collection.

About this clip

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.

Questions

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.

How do I use a video overlay in CapCut?+

On a phone: open your project, tap Overlay, then Add overlay, and choose the clip. With it selected, tap Blend and pick Screen; the black disappears. Lower the opacity to taste. On desktop: select the overlay clip, then Video, Basic, Blend, and set the mode to Screen.

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.
