Place your video file as a new layer in your Photoshop document. Resize, rotate, or adjust its position as needed.

Use a layer mask to erase parts of the video overlay where you don’t want it to appear (e.g., over text or important visuals).

This ensures seamless integration with your website content.

Experiment with blending modes (e.g., Overlay, Screen, Multiply) to achieve the desired look.

Apply effects like brightness, contrast, or color adjustments to harmonize the overlay with your site’s design.

Once satisfied, export your composition as a video file or animated GIF. Optimize the file size for web loading speed.

Remember to maintain a balance between aesthetics and usability.

Your video overlay should enhance the user experience without distracting from the website’s main content.
