Ready-to-use prompts in a scratch overlay generator

What is a scratch overlay? It's a layer of fake film damage—lines, specks, flicker—that makes digital footage look like old celluloid. Dreamina builds that look from a text prompt, so you don't need pro editing software. Copy, paste, and modify these ready-to-use prompts in Dreamina to add scratch overlay effects to your videos.

  • Vintage retro film look

    Create a continuous slow camera tracking a person walking through a sunlit vintage room, captured on 35mm Kodachrome analog film stock.

  • Grunge music video effect

    Create a video of an underground rock band performing in a dimly lit industrial basement shot on a handheld camera. The video should have chaotic motion and rapid cuts.

  • Cinematic trailer overlay

    Create a dark cinematic movie trailer shot with intense high-contrast cinematic lighting and deep shadows showing a 6.5 feet, heavily built soldier walking towards a group of gangsters. Apply gritty film aesthetics, prominent visible film scratches, and heavy film grain effects.
