ProRes 4444 · real alpha · stays off your face

Motion graphics on top of you, not instead of you.

Cutting away to b-roll loses your face, and for talking-head content your face is what keeps people watching. Overlay mode gives you a transparent track of graphics that sits above your footage, so numbers, terms and lower thirds appear beside you while you stay on camera.

How it works

Three steps, no keyframes

1

Choose overlay mode

Pick landscape 16:9 (the default) or vertical 9:16, and mark the area to keep clear: your face, body and the caption band.

2

Graphics are placed around you

Numbers, labels and lower thirds go into the free space, timed to the line they belong to.

3

Put it on the track above

Drop the .mov above your footage in Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut or CapCut. Done.

Works in the editor you already use

ProRes 4444 with alpha is the standard way to move a transparent layer between applications. Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro read the alpha channel directly; put the clip on a track above your footage and the transparent areas show your video underneath. CapCut desktop accepts it the same way.

Graphics that stay out of your way

An overlay is only useful if it doesn't cover the person. You draw one box over the area to keep clear, and every element is placed outside it. The bottom caption band is left free so burned-in subtitles and platform UI don't collide with the graphics.

On a landscape 16:9 frame you usually sit in the middle or to one side, which leaves room for a column of graphics beside you and a corner for labels, the way a news presenter has a graphic at their shoulder. On vertical 9:16, where a person fills most of the width, elements move into a top strip and a lower third instead.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an AI tool that makes transparent motion graphics overlays for Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve?
Yes. Ahacut's overlay mode renders a ProRes 4444 .mov with a real alpha channel from your voiceover or subtitles. Drop it on the track above your footage in Premiere, Resolve, Final Cut or CapCut.
Why can't I preview the overlay in my browser?
Browsers don't play ProRes with alpha. The app shows a checkerboard preview instead; the downloaded .mov plays normally in your editor.
Will the graphics cover my face?
Not if you mark it. Draw a box over the area to keep clear and every element is placed outside it.
Does the overlay have sound?
No, it's silent by design. Your voice stays on the footage below.
