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.

Heavy storm clouds roll past in layers while lightning flickers inside them, lighting up one cell after another from within.
Raindrops hit the ground across a perspective plane, each throwing up a tiny crown of droplets and a spreading splash ring, under faint falling rain streaks.
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.
Banks of cloud rush toward the camera in depth, swelling as they approach and parting around the lens as you fly through them.
A sea of clouds flows slowly through a mountain range at sunrise: layered billows drift at different speeds around the peaks, their tops lit warm by a low sun while the far ridges fade into haze. The whole mountain scene is drawn.
Soft glowing smoke in two colours rises and folds across a dark frame, blending where the plumes cross in a calm abstract loop.
Tiny bright aircraft cross a blue sky, each leaving twin white contrails that merge, widen, drift and slowly fade behind it.
As the rain thins and sunlight breaks onto the hills, a primary rainbow with faint supernumerary bands fades in against a dark storm sky, followed by a fainter reversed secondary bow with the darker band between them. The sky, rain and hills are drawn as a full scene.
