The bokeh light effect is a mesmerizing and aesthetically pleasing phenomenon in photography, characterized by the out-of-focus areas in an image. Derived from the Japanese word “boke,” meaning blur or haze, bokeh is achieved when a camera lens creates a soft, defocused background, turning distant lights into beautifully blurred, glowing orbs.

These free bokeh video effects from Adobe Stock will work in all major video editing software including Premiere Pro, Final Cut, After Effects, and iMovie.

How to use these overlays

Whilst the clips won’t have transparency you can use blending modes to make sure they combine well with your video, effectively removing the black backgrounds. To overlay these onto existing footage in your editing software use our guide to blending modes.
