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.
Premiere Searchlights 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 full moon climbs out of a forested horizon, glowing orange low in the sky, then the earth's shadow sweeps across its face and turns it a deep copper red while its halo reddens and more stars appear. The night landscape is drawn as a full scene.
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.
Hundreds of glowing drones lift off a dark field, stand up into a grid over a city skyline, then glide into a star, a heart, a turning globe and a spinning spiral before scattering into the night. The night scene is drawn in full.
The Milky Way arches over a dark mountain range: a dense river of stars with a warm glowing core, dark dust lanes and faint coloured clouds, drifting slowly overhead while stars twinkle and the odd meteor flashes past. The night landscape is drawn as a full scene.
A long-exposure night sky: stars start as points and stretch into concentric arcs around the celestial pole above a dark ridge of hills and pines.
Faceted, cratered rocks tumble past at different depths, the near ones large and fast, the far ones small and hazy, all lit from one side over a starfield.
A full night beach scene: dark waves roll in under the stars and their foam edge glows electric blue as it spreads up the sand, then retreats and fades.
A glowing accretion disk swirls around a dark event horizon, its inner rings racing faster while light bends into an arch over the top.
