Frequently asked
What is the Dust Float animation?
Tiny glowing specks drift and shimmer through the air like dust in a sunbeam. Subtle cinematic texture. It belongs to the Particle Effects category on velements, where you edit it in the browser and download it as a finished video file.
What can you customize in Dust Float?
Every control in the editor, grouped the same way there. Style: background, primary, secondary and accent. Layout: aspect ratio and scale. Motion: duration, density, variation and intensity. Each change appears in the live preview straight away, and editing is free.
How long is Dust Float?
Dust Float 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 Dust Float 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 Dust Float 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.
