Cine HUD Overlays for editors who want a camera-style frame without building it from scratch
You’ve shot the clip, graded the frame, and maybe even got the audio right. But when it hits a client review, a reel, or a portfolio page, it still feels a little bare. Cine HUD Overlays is a $15 way to add a camera-style frame that makes the work look considered without spending an evening building a HUD from scratch. It’s aimed at filmmakers and cinematographers who want a clean, cinema-style presentation layer for their edits. If you work in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve and your timeline matches the listed specs, it’s a cheap upgrade for the finishing stage.

What you’re actually buying
The appeal of Cine HUD Overlays is that it gives you two ways to use the same look. You can drop in the pre-rendered MOV files with alpha channels when you need speed, or open the customizable templates when you want the HUD to match your footage. At $15, that flexibility is the main reason to buy: it’s not just one static frame, it’s a set of options that can carry your edit from rough review to final export.
You get six overlays total: three distinct designs, each available in 16:9 and 3:2 open gate ratios. That matters if you’re cutting mixed aspect work, presenting wider open-gate frames, or simply like the more cinematic look for client-facing clips. Each overlay includes a running timecode counter, a blinking REC indicator, and standard cinema specs baked in at 23.98fps and 5500K. For quick posts, client notes, or behind-the-scenes clips, the pre-rendered MOV overlays are the fast path.
The editable side is where it gets more useful. The Premiere Pro templates and the DaVinci Resolve Fusion templates let you change white balance, shutter angle, frame rate, codec, and other details directly from the effects panel. That means you’re not stuck with a HUD that looks wrong on your shot; you can tune the readout to feel like part of the camera setup. If you’re presenting a scene with a specific look, the 16:9 and 3:2 open-gate designs give you a clean way to frame it without rebuilding the whole overlay from zero.
Why it’s on our radar
The public page shows 11 ratings averaging 5.0. That’s a small number, but it’s a clean signal that buyers who rated it had a positive experience. No sales count is listed, so the strongest evidence is the rating pattern and the specificity of the included editor support.
What actually matters
Before checkout, check these four things:
- Editor version: The Premiere Pro template requires Premiere Pro 26.0.2 or later, and the DaVinci Resolve Fusion template requires DaVinci Resolve 20.3.2 Build 9 or later.
- Timeline spec: The Resolve template is made to work on 1080x1920 at 23.97fps. Other timeline settings may not work, so confirm your project before buying.
- Baked specs: The MOV overlays include 23.98fps and 5500K. If you need a different look, use the templates rather than relying only on the pre-rendered files.
- Scope: The templates let you adjust white balance, shutter angle, frame rate, codec, and more. If you need a fully bespoke HUD with custom graphics, this may not go that far.
Mid-check
If your editor version and timeline match, the decision is simple: you’re paying $15 for a ready-to-use presentation layer that can make clips look more intentional. View on Gumroad
FAQ
Do I need both Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve?
No. The set includes templates for both, so you can use the one you already work in. If you only need the pre-rendered MOV files, you can drop them into any editor that supports alpha-channel MOVs.
Can I change the HUD details?
Yes. The customizable templates let you change white balance, shutter angle, frame rate, codec, and other details from the effects panel.
Will the MOV overlays work in my project?
They’re pre-rendered MOV files with alpha channels, so they can drop into any editor. The baked-in specs are 23.98fps and 5500K, so they’re best when your edit is already close to that look.
What if my timeline is not 1080x1920 at 23.97fps?
The DaVinci Resolve template is made for that timeline. Other timeline settings may not work, so check your project settings before checkout.
Bottom line
If you want a quick, clean way to make your clips look like they were presented on set, Cine HUD Overlays is a reasonable $15 purchase. It’s strongest for editors who already work in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve and want a camera-style frame without building one from scratch. If your timeline matches the listed specs and you like the idea of a timecode, REC indicator, and cinema-style readout on your work, it’s worth a look. See current options
