<p>You would probably find it easiest to use a motion graphics application. There are many. Since you're using Premiere, you might find <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects.html" rel="nofollow">Adobe After Effects</a> familiar. If you're on a Mac, you might also like <a href="http://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/motion/" rel="nofollow">Apple's Motion</a>. Both apps allow you to create shapes, use text, and animate it. The above type of graphics should be fairly easy to produce in either app.</p>

<p>I saw this overlay and want to reproduce it, but wonder how to do this:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/xyROn.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/xyROn.jpg" alt="image overlay"></a></p>

<p>It was slightly animated / synchronized with the video.</p>

<ul>
<li>How do I reproduce this on my own videos? </li>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-10-11)

I saw this overlay and want to reproduce it, but wonder how to do this:

[![image overlay](https://i.sstatic.net/xyROn.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/xyROn.jpg)

It was slightly animated / synchronized with the video.

* How do I reproduce this on my own videos?
* Which software is ideally suited for this task?

*I currently use Adobe Premiere.*

Thank you!

The tool doesn't matter in this case.

For some kind of artistic or individual approach I'd suggest use a [light table](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_table) or [graphics tablet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_tablet). Draw the shapes 20-50 times by hand to get some nice variation and place all the drawings on top of each other like [classic/traditional animation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_animation) does in the old days.

Otherwise you can either use:

* Any kind of *pixel* or vector based [graphics package](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_software) (Photoshop, Gimp, Affinity Designer etc.) together with Premiere or *After Effects for additional tracking capabilities*
* A [2D Animation package](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_2D_animation_software) which allows to draw directly on the plates
* Or even Blender's [grease pencil feature](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqjv_CKgLlI) along with its tracking capabilities

You would probably find it easiest to use a motion graphics application. There are many. Since you're using Premiere, you might find [Adobe After Effects](http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects.html) familiar. If you're on a Mac, you might also like [Apple's Motion](http://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/motion/). Both apps allow you to create shapes, use text, and animate it.
