Overlays
The Overlays category in the Library contains a variety of assets that can be used over top of a clip or in any creative way you like. For example, you can apply an animated overlay to apply lighting, brush stroke, or animated drawing effects over your main clips. You can also add basic shapes or pre-made graphics and keyframe their motion or other properties.
