If you hear about ‘grunge’ in design or visual effects, generally, it’s about making things look a little untidy or dirty; give it a cool, edgy aesthetic. This could be in the form of scratch marks, beaten old film, or rusty metal – something a bit darker and messier than perfectly framed footage. If you want to give your videos a grunge aesthetic, try overlaying grunge effects or transitions onto your footage. Plenty of grunge texture overlay templates are available in the Motion Array library, so let’s jump in and check out some of our favorites.
