How it works

How to make a fireworks overlay.

Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.

  1. 1

    Pick the colors and bursts

    Choose a color set (Multicolor, Gold, Silver, Red white and blue, Cool, Warm or Pastel) or one color of your own, then Mixed, Peony, Ring or Willow bursts in three sizes.

  2. 2

    Plan the show

    Set how many bursts, from 1 to 30, and how long the clip runs, from 4 to 20 seconds. Keep it as a seamless loop, and keep the bursts in the upper half or let them use the whole frame.

  3. 3

    Choose the background

    The Midnight look is pure black, for glowing fireworks you blend with Screen. Green, or a blue or other key color of your own, gives solid sparks to key out. Try another Arrangement number to move every burst somewhere new.

  4. 4

    Download the MP4

    Press Download. The video is rendered in your browser at 1080p and saved to your device. No account, no watermark.

When a fireworks overlay isn’t enough

The free fireworks overlay is the starting point.

Here you get a show of fireworks to lay over your clip. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you actually want, such as “gold fireworks bursting above me as I say happy new year, then our logo in the sky”, attach your logo, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the exact word you say.

The basics

What is a fireworks overlay?

A fireworks overlay is a short clip of fireworks on a plain background that you lay over your own footage, so the bursts appear in your shot. Editors use one for New Year's, the Fourth of July, a birthday, a launch, a milestone or any moment that calls for a celebration.

This maker draws the fireworks for you. Shells rise on a trail and burst into peonies (round balls of stars), rings (a tilted circle with a small core) and willows (long trails that droop and hang), then sparkle and burn out. Each burst gets its own place, size, color and moment, and the whole show can run as a seamless loop.

It opens on pure black, where each burst glows as light. In your editor, set the clip's blend mode to Screen: the black disappears and only the light of the fireworks stays over your video. For a person on camera, Upper half opens the bursts above them; for a night sky or a title card, let them use the whole frame.

In your editor

Put the fireworks overlay on your video.

An MP4 has no transparent background, so the fireworks overlay comes ready to key. Set the background to green and remove it with chroma key, or to black and use a Screen blend.

How to add a fireworks overlay in CapCut

Download the fireworks overlay on a green background. In CapCut, drag it onto the track above your video so it sits on top as an overlay. Select it, open Video → Remove BG → Chroma key, pick the green with the color picker and raise Strength until the background is gone. Menu names move a little between CapCut versions; look for Chroma key. If you made it on black instead, set the clip's blend mode to Screen.

How to add a fireworks overlay in Premiere Pro

Put the fireworks overlay on a video track above your footage. From the Effects panel, drag Ultra Key onto it and click the Key Color eyedropper on the green. For a version on black, skip the key: in Effect Controls, set Opacity → Blend Mode to Screen.

How to add a fireworks overlay in DaVinci Resolve

Place the fireworks overlay on the track above your footage. On the Edit page, open Effects → Open FX, find 3D Keyer under Resolve FX Key and drag it onto the clip, then sample the green in the viewer with the Open FX overlay switched on. For a version on black, set Composite Mode to Screen in the Inspector instead.

How to add a fireworks overlay in Final Cut Pro

Connect the fireworks overlay above your footage in the timeline. From the Effects browser, drag the Keyer effect onto it; it finds and removes the green by itself. For a version on black, set Blend Mode to Screen in the Video inspector.

Questions

Fireworks overlay: your questions, answered.

How do I make a fireworks overlay?

In the maker at the top of this page, choose a color set and the kind of bursts, set how many bursts and how long the clip runs, and press Download. You get a 1080p MP4 of fireworks on black, made in your browser with no sign-up and no watermark.

How do I put fireworks over my video?

Place the fireworks clip on the track above your footage in your editor. If you made it on black, set its blend mode to Screen and the black drops out. If you made it on green, remove the green with chroma key. Either way only the fireworks stay.

Can the fireworks video loop?

Yes, and it does by default. With Seamless loop on, bursts near the end carry on into the start, so the last frame runs straight into the first and you can repeat the clip as long as your video needs. Turn it off for a show that starts and ends on an empty sky.

What kinds of fireworks can I make?

Three kinds of burst: Peony, a round ball of stars; Ring, a circle of stars seen at an angle with a small core inside; and Willow, long trails that droop and hang before they fade. Mixed puts all three in one show.

Can I make red, white and blue fireworks?

Yes. Choose Red, white, blue under Colors and every burst uses those three. For one color only, choose One color and pick any color you like.

Can I make gold fireworks for New Year's?

Yes. Choose Gold under Colors. Gold willows, with their long hanging trails, are the classic look: set Bursts to Willow for a show of only those.

How many fireworks can one clip have?

From 1 to 30 bursts, in a clip from 4 to 20 seconds long. Many bursts in a short clip makes a dense finale; a few in a long one makes a calm, spaced-out show.

Why do the fireworks look different on a green background?

On green, or a blue or other key color of your own, there's no glow and no fading, because anything see-through would carry the background color with it when you remove it. Each spark is drawn solid and shrinks away instead. On black, white or any other background color the sparks fade out softly as they do on the looks, and a pale star is darkened until it reads on a light one.

Can I keep the fireworks above my head?

Yes. Set Where they burst to Upper half and the bursts open above the middle of the frame, leaving the lower part mostly clear for you or your subject. Willows still droop a little lower as they fall. The shells still rise from the bottom unless you turn off Show the shells rising.

How do I get a different arrangement of fireworks?

Move the Arrangement slider. Each of its 99 numbers places, sizes, colors and times the bursts differently, and the same number always gives the same show, so you can come back to one you liked.

Does the fireworks video have sound?

No. The MP4 is silent, so you can add your own sound effects or music in your editor.

Is the fireworks overlay maker free?

Yes. It's free to use and free to download, with no account, no email address and no watermark on the video. There's no limit on how many you make.

What format and resolution is the video?

An MP4 with H.264 video, at 1080p in the shape you choose: 1080×1920 (9:16) for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1920×1080 (16:9) for YouTube, 1080×1080 (1:1), or 1080×1350 (4:5) for the Instagram feed. You can export at 30 or 60 frames per second.

Can I get the fireworks overlay with a transparent background?

MP4 can't store transparency, so the fireworks overlay comes ready to key instead. Set the background to green and remove it with chroma key in your editor. If the graphic is light, you can also set the background to black and use the Screen blend mode. Either way only the fireworks overlay is left over your footage.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The fireworks overlay is drawn and encoded on your own device, using your browser's built-in video encoder. Nothing is sent to a server and there's no render queue.

Which browsers does it work in?

It needs a browser that can encode video with the WebCodecs API: current versions of Chrome, Edge and Safari, and Firefox on a computer. If your browser can't, the page tells you before you start.

Can I use the fireworks overlay in client work, ads or monetized videos?

Yes. The video you download is yours to use in personal and commercial projects, with no attribution needed.

Can I match my brand, add my logo or change the design?

Not in the free maker, which is deliberately simple. That's what Rescroll's AI motion graphics are for: describe the graphic you want in plain English, attach your logo, fonts or a screenshot of your style, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the word you say. Ask for any change in the chat. It's part of the Pro, Ultimate and Scale plans.
