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.
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.

Branching bolts crawl down from the sky at seeded moments, flicker through restrikes and light up the frame with every hit.
Grey shafts of distant rain hang below a low cloud base over rolling hills, slanting in the wind and drifting slowly across the landscape.
Hailstones streak down and hit an unseen ground plane in perspective, bouncing a few times and kicking up tiny chips of ice before they settle and fade.
A twisting funnel of dust spins up from the ground, its column swaying as bands of debris whip around the wall.
Heavy wind-driven rain lashes sideways in gusts while splashes burst along the ground. Drama on demand.
Banks of cloud rush toward the camera in depth, swelling as they approach and parting around the lens as you fly through them.
A sky timelapse from afternoon to night: clouds drift as the sun sinks through golden hour into a red sunset, the dusk afterglow fades, town lights switch on along the hills and the stars come out. The whole sky and landscape are drawn.
