Set your website apart and wow your visitors by adding or uploading your own videos with transparent backgrounds, and placing them anywhere on your site.
Transparent videos let you create beautiful, dynamic effects that make a huge impact on your site. The video background is invisible, allowing you to stack videos and create amazing visuals that jump right off the page. Customize the design, behavior, and colors of your video to suit your needs.
