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 and intensity. Each change appears in the live preview straight away, and editing is free.
Star Trails Timelapse runs 10 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.
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 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 long-exposure night road curves toward a lit skyline: white headlight streams flow toward you in one carriageway while red taillights stream away in the other, under amber street lamps. The city scene is drawn in full.
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.
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.
Searchlight beams rise from behind a night skyline, sweeping and crossing through hazy air and lighting up the low clouds where they hit, like a red-carpet premiere. The night scene is drawn in full.
Grey shafts of distant rain hang below a low cloud base over rolling hills, slanting in the wind and drifting slowly across the landscape.
