A: The best way is to upgrade to our Pro Plus account so you can download the videoloops in the DXV format specifically designed for use in Resolume/Avenue/Arena. Alternatively, you can try using MPEG Streamclip: video converter for Mac & Windows to convert the loops to your format of choice. Open the files tab in the interface and browse for your converted file. Drag the file to one of the channels in the middle. If you drag more files each one will be inserted in a new channel. Activating the channel will play the inserted file(s) as an animation. From here you can go ahead and mix it, scratch it, layer it, add effects to it and so on. For clips with transparency, set Clip's properties → Alpha Type → Straight as your setting.

A: Free Loops doesn't recommend the use of download managers when downloading loops from our site. We recommend use of your browser's built-in download system. If you do use a download manager, you risk locking access to the loops as our servers may record an abnormally large amount of requests to access and download the file (these programs usually create multiple connections to our server, each connection counting as a download). If you have used a download manager and access to the loops has been restricted, please get in touch with us.
A: Make sure to select "Straight" (Unmatted) when using alpha clips. In Resolume, you can find this under the Clip's properties → Alpha Type → Straight. In Premiere, you need to uncheck "Composite in Linear Color" in Sequence Settings. In After Effects, you need to right click your imported footage → Interpret Footage → Select "Straight - Unmatted" under Alpha.
