Video overlay is a technique used to superimpose one video clip over another, creating a combined visual effect. In Shotcut, a free and open-source video editor, adding an overlay to a video is a straightforward process that can enhance the visual appeal and convey additional information.
Overlays can serve various purposes, such as adding watermarks, logos, or graphic elements to videos. They can also be used to create effects like picture-in-picture, transitions, and animated titles. By incorporating overlays, videos become more visually engaging, informative, and professional-looking.
