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.

Faceted rock chunks blast out of an impact point on ballistic arcs, bounce and settle on the ground while a dust cloud rolls outward.

A smooth force-field bubble swells out of a flash on the ground, settles into a shimmering dome with a bright fresnel rim and drifting interference bands, and ripples where incoming shots strike it.
