New Fade Overlays for Premiere Pro and After Effects

Why we made these

You reach for overlays on almost every project, and they are a pain to build from scratch. A background for a title. Some shade so your subtitles are easy to read. Soft dark edges to keep eyes on your subject. So we made a set of 11 that you can add in seconds, and they work the same in After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Who they are for

If you make tutorials or reviews, the side panels give you a clean space for callouts or a screenshot next to you. If you shoot weddings or films, the center glow and vignettes frame your subject. And the bottom fades cover the everyday stuff: lower thirds, subtitles, intros, and outros.

How to use them

Double-click an overlay to add it to your timeline, then open the Editor to change the color, timing, and size to fit your video. Reach for a background when you need room for text, a vignette when you want focus on your subject, and a fade to move between scenes.

Try them in Spotlight FX

They are live now. Open Spotlight FX, go to the new assets on Home, and give them a go. I'm curious where you'll use them, especially in tutorials and talking head videos.
