Techniques for supplementing a video clip with additional information without modifying the original content included within the video clip are disclosed herein. A video clip comprising multiple video frames is generated. A layer, which is to be associated with the video clip, is also generated. This layer initializes and terminates during a duration of the video clip. An association is formed between the layer and the video clip. Layer content is added to the layer to cause the layer content to supplement content visualized by the video clip without modifying the content visualized by the video clip. In response to the video clip being played, the layer is initialized and the layer content is displayed.
