How-to

Import Videohead Overlays to CapCut

Generate a custom overlay in Videohead, export with true transparency, and drop it into your CapCut Desktop timeline—no green screen, no CapCut templates required.

From Videohead to CapCut

Before you start

  • CapCut Desktop (macOS or Windows)—the most reliable workflow for transparent video
  • A Videohead account with an overlay generated and exported
  • Export format WebM or MOV with alpha channel (up to 1080p)
  • A CapCut project open with your base clip on the timeline
  1. 1.

    Generate your overlay in Videohead

    Describe the overlay you need, like a subscribe CTA, lower third, sticker, or text animation, at videohead.io. Adjust text, colors, and animations.

  2. 2.

    Export with transparency

    Click Export and download WebM or MOV with alpha. Your overlay with native transparency is ready to import into CapCut.

  3. 3.

    Import into CapCut Desktop

    Open CapCut Desktop, go to Import, and select your Videohead file (or drag and drop directly from your desktop). The clip appears in your project media library.

  4. 4.

    Add to the timeline

    Drag the overlay onto a track above your base video. Place it at the moment you want the animation to appear.

  5. 5.

    Adjust and export

    Scale and reposition the overlay if needed. Preview the timeline to check timing and transparency, then export your finished video from CapCut as usual.

Tips

Adapt without regenerating

Change text, colors, or timing in Videohead's configuration controls and export again for each video. Regenerate only when you need a new design.

Duration

Match overlay length to the moment in your edit; trim the clip on the CapCut timeline if needed.

Mobile vs desktop

CapCut mobile has limited transparency support. CapCut Desktop is the recommended workflow for Videohead alpha exports.

No chroma key

You do not need to remove a green screen. Videohead exports a native alpha channel—backgrounds stay transparent in CapCut Desktop.
