Frequently asked
What is the Retro Game Over animation?
A retro title card flickers in with a colour split, a pixel grid and scanlines over the type and a blinking prompt underneath. It belongs to the Gaming FX category on velements, where you edit it in the browser and download it as a finished video file.
What can you customize in Retro Game Over?
Every control in the editor, grouped the same way there. Content: title and subtitle. Typography: font. Style: background, text color, primary, secondary, accent and thickness. Layout: aspect ratio and scale. Motion: duration, speed and variation. Each change appears in the live preview straight away, and editing is free.
How long is Retro Game Over?
Retro Game Over runs 5 seconds by default, and you can set any length up to 60 seconds before you export. It plays once from start to finish, so it drops straight onto a cut or an opening.
Can you download Retro Game Over with a transparent background?
Yes. Set the background to Transparent, then export a PNG sequence for Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro or Figma: import the first frame as an image sequence and it drops onto a track above your footage with a straight alpha channel. Export WebM with a VP9 alpha channel for the web and for CapCut. MP4 has no alpha channel, so it keeps a solid color or image behind the animation.
Can you use Retro Game Over in commercial projects?
Yes. Each download comes with a perpetual commercial license in your name for client work, ads and products, and you may sell the edited clip on stock footage sites. Reselling the preset itself as an editable template is not allowed.
