Time Overlay style preset
Scanline Time Overlay — Scanline countdown timer overlay
CRT phosphor green with horizontal scanline overlay. The Scanline Time Overlay preset drops a clean scanline countdown on top of streams, tutorials, gameplay, and product footage. Export the Scanline Time Overlay as a transparent PNG sequence for master-grade work, or as a WebM (with alpha) Time Overlay video for quick handoff into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, and OBS.
When the Scanline Time Overlay preset fits
The Scanline Time Overlay is purpose-built for clean Time Overlay handoff into your editor, and it pairs well with footage where readability cannot fight the look.
Recommended editor pairing
- Premiere Pro: import PNG sequence for master-grade alpha, or WebM (with alpha) for quick iteration.
- DaVinci Resolve (Free + Studio): both PNG sequence and WebM (with alpha) import as transparent media.
- Final Cut Pro: import PNG sequence for the most predictable transparency on macOS.
- CapCut Web/Desktop: WebM (with alpha) drops in as an overlay layer.
- OBS Studio: WebM (with alpha) loads as a Media Source for streaming scenes.
Scanline Time Overlay export format
Ship the Scanline Time Overlay as PNG sequence when transparency quality matters and you can handle the larger file size. Ship the Scanline Time Overlay as WebM (with alpha) when you want a single transparent video file that plays in editors and streaming software. The Scanline Time Overlay preset renders identically across both formats.
Color recommendations
Stick with the preset palette for fast results, or swap colors via the in-app color picker and keep the rest of the preset intact, then export the customized Scanline look.
