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.

Crackling electric arcs crawl around the border of the frame in two strands, snapping between shapes as they race past each other.
Branching bolts crawl down from the sky at seeded moments, flicker through restrikes and light up the frame with every hit.
A white-hot stream of molten metal pours from a tilted crucible into an ingot mould, throwing sparks while a cooling crust drifts across the glowing pool.
Electric tendrils writhe from a glowing core out to the glass, drifting around the sphere while a cluster gathers at a touch point.
A mid-air blast flashes and throws burning fragments outward on arcing paths, each one leaving a smoke trail that hangs in the sky.
A slab of snow breaks loose and slides down the slope, shattering into a billowing white powder cloud that surges across the frame.
Fires of different sizes burn across the ground in perspective, shrinking and dimming toward the horizon while dark smoke columns climb and drift with the wind.
