Frequently asked
What is the Light Leak Sweep animation?
Warm film-style light leaks wash across the frame and fade. Set your editor to Screen blend for an organic cinematic transition. It belongs to the Light Leaks & Flares category on velements, where you edit it in the browser and download it as a finished video file.
What can you customize in Light Leak Sweep?
Every control in the editor, grouped the same way there. Style: background, primary, secondary and accent. Layout: aspect ratio and direction. Motion: duration, intensity and variation. Each change appears in the live preview straight away, and editing is free.
How long is Light Leak Sweep?
Light Leak Sweep runs 2 seconds by default, and you can set any length up to 15 seconds before you export. It plays once from start to finish, so it drops straight onto a cut or an opening.
Can you download Light Leak Sweep 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 Light Leak Sweep 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.
