Video Overlays FAQ

Our experience, taste, and meticulous production methods make Lens Distortions video overlays the most trusted in the industry.

We’ve been a pioneer of VFX overlays since the early 2010s and have been used in many famous title sequences and commercials.

But for every standout example, there are countless instances of our effects hiding in plain sight, enhancing the footage they’re added to without drawing undue attention.

Every overlay is captured in-camera, providing organic nuance and variation that simply can’t be achieved digitally.

Generally, all professional video editing software is compatible: Davinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, LumaFusion, CapCut, etc.

Any software that allows you to set the blend mode to “screen” is compatible. Simply drag one of our video overlays on your timeline, set the blend mode to screen, and you’re good to go.

“VFX” is short for visual effects, which broadly refers to adding visual elements in post-production.

Video overlays are the easiest way to add VFX to your edits because there’s no new software to learn or plugins to install. They’re simply video files you can drop on your timeline, which means they’re compatible with any professional video editing software.

Lens Distortions video overlays are optically-captured and carefully crafted, making them exceptionally high-quality.
