How to use our clips

Our clips come in three kinds. Here's how to use each one in the editors most people use: CapCut, Canva, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.

1. Loop backgrounds

Bokeh lights, gradients, lanterns and starry skies are full backgrounds. Put them on the bottom layer and add your text, photo or logo on top.

1. Start a new project and import the clip.
2. Put it on the first (lowest) track.
3. Add text on top. Light text with a soft shadow reads best on dark backgrounds.
4. Need it longer than 8 seconds? Copy and paste the clip end to end. Each one is a seamless loop, so you won't see the cut.

2. Green screen clips

Green screen clips have a solid chroma green background (#00B140). You remove the green so only the snow, confetti, balloons or frame stays on top of your own video.

CapCut (free)

1. Add your main video or photo first.
2. Tap Overlay → Add overlay and pick the green screen clip.
3. With the overlay selected, tap Remove BG → Chroma key.
4. Use the color picker on the green. Raise Intensity until the green is gone, then Shadow to soften the edges.

Canva

Add the clip above your design and use Edit → BG Remover. This needs Canva Pro. If you're on the free plan, key the clip in CapCut first and export.

Premiere Pro

Place the clip on the track above your footage, apply Ultra Key, and click the green with the eyedropper. Adjust Matte Generation if any green edge remains.

DaVinci Resolve

On the Edit page, select the clip and open Inspector → Video, or use the 3D Keyer on the Color page and draw across the green.

3. Overlays (Screen blend)

Overlays like light leaks, dust, embers, sparkles and snow on black are made to sit on top of your video. The Screen blend mode hides the black and keeps only the light.

1. Put the overlay on the track above your video.
2. CapCut: select it → Blend → Screen. Premiere: Effect Controls → Opacity → Blend Mode → Screen. Resolve: Inspector → Composite Mode → Screen.
3. Lower the opacity for a softer effect.

4. Making vertical videos (TikTok, Reels, Shorts)

Most clips are horizontal 16:9. For a vertical video, set your project to 9:16 and zoom the clip until it fills the screen. Bokeh, gradients, snow and confetti still look great cropped. Some clips, like the Christmas lights frame, also come in a ready-made vertical version.

Tips

• Keep important text away from the bottom and right edges on TikTok and Reels, where the buttons and captions sit.
• Match the mood: gold bokeh for formal greetings, confetti for winners and birthdays, soft gradients for quotes.
• Exports look best at 1080p and 30 fps, the same as our clips.
