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 yellow star swells into a huge mottled red giant with boiling convection cells, swallowing the inner planets' orbits while a rocky world glows molten, streams a tail of vapour and vanishes into the envelope in a flash. Stars are drawn over the background.

A yellow star swells into a huge mottled red giant with boiling convection cells, swallowing the inner planets' orbits while a rocky world glows molten, streams a tail of vapour and vanishes into the envelope in a flash. Stars are drawn over the background. 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.
Red Giant Engulfs Planet runs 14 seconds by default, and you can set any length up to 60 seconds before you export. It plays once from start to finish, so it drops straight onto a cut or an opening.
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 capsule plunges through the upper atmosphere wrapped in a flickering plasma sheath that runs from white-hot orange to violet, shedding ablation sparks and a long ionised trail above a curved, city-lit planet horizon. The space scene is drawn.
A glowing accretion disk swirls around a dark event horizon, its inner rings racing faster while light bends into an arch over the top.
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 slow drift through the large-scale structure of the universe: thousands of tiny galaxies strung along glowing gas filaments that meet at bright cluster nodes, layered in depth and fading into fog.
A sand-coloured desert world turns under a thin hazy atmosphere: seas of wind-sculpted dune ridges, branching dry riverbeds and curved dust-storm fronts sweeping across the plains. Stars are drawn.
A rust-coloured desert planet inspired by Mars, with craters, a long canyon and a polar cap, turns as a regional dust storm erupts and spreads until a billowing haze swallows the whole globe. Stars are drawn.
Streams of reflective panels spiral in from deep space and lock into tilted rings and a spherical shell around a boiling star, glinting as they orbit while the star dims behind the growing megastructure. Stars are drawn behind it.
