They can create a sense of drama, mystery, or nostalgia by adding a layer of visual texture and depth to the footage.

Tips and Tricks when using a free Dust Overlay
Using a free dust overlay can be easy; however, there are a few tricks and tips to keep in mind when using these overlays. Here are some of our best pieces of advice:
Choose the right blending mode
Many of our dust video overlays include an alpha channel, but even with an alpha channel, you might choose screen or darken blending mode instead of normal.
Adjust the Opacity
Sometimes having the opacity at 100% will not be the best option. Depending on your footage and the effect you’re looking for, adjusting the opacity of the overlay can help you achieve a more subtle or intense effect.
Layer multiple overlays for more intricate looks
If you’re looking for something more complex, you can layer multiple dust overlays or other video overlay effects, such as smoke, for a more dramatic effect. Be sure to check out our full collection of free video overlays, and get creative with your projects!
Play around with Color Correction
The color of the dust overlays will depend on the look that you are trying to create and the look of your background footage. By playing around with different color correction settings, such as hue, saturation, and luminance, you can get the perfect color to match your desired effect.
Simple Royalty Free License
Our free dust overlays come with a simple no-attribution-required, royalty-free license that is the same license for all of our purchased overlays. The license allows you to use them for any personal or commercial project.
