Cascading Comments Overlay

How to use it in your editor

Export it without background and put it on a track above your clip: the animation plays over your video.

  • CapCut

    1. Export «without background»: you get a .mov with transparency.
    2. On desktop, drag it to a track above your clip. On the phone, use Overlay → Add overlay.
    3. If your app shows a black background, export «with your clip» instead and import the MP4 as your video.

  • Premiere Pro

    1. File → Import the .mov.
    2. Drag it to V2, above your footage on V1.
    3. The transparency is kept: move, scale or trim it like any clip.

  • DaVinci Resolve

    1. Import the .mov into the Media Pool.
    2. Place it on Video 2, above your clip.
    3. If you see black instead of your clip: right-click → Clip Attributes → Alpha Mode: Premultiplied.

  • Final Cut Pro

    1. Import the .mov.
    2. Connect it above the primary storyline (shortcut Q).
    3. Final Cut reads the transparency on its own.

Questions

Do I need After Effects or a plugin?
No. You edit «Cascading comments» right here in your browser: type your text, choose colors and format, watch the live preview and export a video file that works in any editor.
What file do I get?
Either a ProRes 4444 .mov with a transparent background, to place over your footage, or an MP4 with your own clip behind it. In 1920×1080 (16:9), 1080×1920 (9:16) or 1080×1080 (1:1); 2× (4K) is optional and costs double credits.
Is it free?
Editing and previewing are free and need no account. To export you sign in with Google; during the open beta, new accounts get export credits at no cost.
