Product Overview
A cinematic look in photo or video work usually comes from layered atmosphere — light leaks, drifting dust, fog, rain, or a warm film burn — rather than from color grading alone. The Cinematic Photo & Video Overlay Collection gives you that atmosphere as transparent PNG overlays across twelve effect categories: light leak, bokeh, lens flare, dust, smoke, fog, rain, snow, fire sparks, film burn, color overlay, and HDR-style effects.
Each overlay has a transparent background so it drops straight onto a layer above your photo or video footage, ready to blend using a Screen or similar blend mode in your editor of choice.
