Scissors Icon Motion Graphic

This motion graphic delivers a clean animated scissors icon on a transparent background, so it layers straight over your footage without keying or masking. The .mov container is built for editors who want a quick, reusable symbol for cuts, trims and edit points. Use it in tutorials, editing breakdowns, software demos or social promos where you need to signal a cut, split or removal. Because it is a standalone motion graphic rather than a baked-in effect, you can scale, retime and recolor it to match your brand or sequence. At 32 MB the file is light enough for real-time playback on most machines while keeping enough quality for HD and 4K timelines. Confirm the frame rate and resolution in your NLE before dropping it in, and set the blend mode to Normal for the cleanest result.

How to use this resource

Import the .mov into your project and place it on a track above your footage. Scale and position it over the cut point, then trim the clip to match the animation length. If your NLE asks, interpret the alpha channel as straight or premultiplied to keep the background transparent.
