Mirror-bright beads of liquid mercury roll across a surface, pull into each other, merge into one pool and split apart again, each reflecting a bright sky and dark horizon. It belongs to the Backgrounds / VFX category on velements, where you edit it in the browser and download it as a finished video file.
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, speed and intensity. Each change appears in the live preview straight away, and editing is free.
Mercury Beads Merge runs 12 seconds by default, and you can set any length up to 60 seconds before you export. It loops seamlessly, so you can repeat it on your timeline for as long as the shot needs.
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.

A high-voltage arc strikes between two rising rails, climbs and stretches as it rises, snaps at the top and re-strikes at the base.
A particle-physics cloud chamber: thick straight alpha tracks, thin curling electron spirals and long cosmic-ray streaks condense out of drifting vapour at random, then spread and fade.
Soft glowing smoke in two colours rises and folds across a dark frame, blending where the plumes cross in a calm abstract loop.
A comet glides over the stars with a glowing coma, a straight bluish ion tail streaming in knots and a broad curved dust tail shedding fine grains.
A glossy black ferrofluid blob pulses on a reflective surface, its sharp magnetic spikes rising and falling in a ripple from the centre with bright specular streaks.
Coloured ink plumes drop into clear water, sink and billow outward, unfurling into soft curling clouds that mix as they fade.
Thin-film rainbow bands swirl slowly across dark water, each ring traced by a fine bright interference edge that shifts through the spectrum.
