Hey Product Hunt! π I'm Edgar, maker of ShapeLoop.
The problem
When making tutorial videos, I kept needing animated overlays β a pulsing circle around a button, a spotlight effect. Most editors can do basic shapes, but animating them consistently across projects is tedious and time-consuming. And the answer is often "use After Effects."
The solution
ShapeLoop lets you generate animated overlays in a few clicks: pick a template β style it β choose motion β export with transparency (or green screen) β drop into your editor. ~30 seconds, not 30 minutes.
What's live today
- Shapes β animated shapes (rectangle, circle, ellipse, arrows) with ready-made effects
- Spotlight β animated spotlight masks to focus viewer attention
- Transparent export presets for common editors (plus manual options)
What's next
- Text overlays & lower thirds
- Highlights & Explains
- Loaders & Transitions
- Themed Packs, Icons, and more
I'd love your feedback
1) Which editor do you use most (CapCut / Premiere / DaVinci / Final Cut / other)?
2) What overlay do you need most next (callouts, text, lower thirds, loaders, transitions)?

Hi. I usually use CapCut for short product videos β Iβm a brand ambassador for a cosmetics company and need to make promo content look polished. The built-in highlight tools in CapCut always look so basic. Tried ShapeLoop and the animated overlays actually look professional. Took me like 30 seconds to figure out. Quick question though β whatβs the difference between green screen and transparent export? When to pick which one?
@aiva_klavinskaΒ Hey! Here's the difference visually β
Left: Transparent β layers directly on your video. Right: Green screen β same animation, remove green with chroma key in CapCut.
ShapeLoop auto-picks the right format when you select your editor.
@aiva_klavinskaΒ And here's what it looks like dropping it into CapCut β
Cheers!
