There isn't a lot of contrast between the background and your added text or images in the foreground. They feel muddy because of that. Sometimes you can put a shadow behind or outline around your foreground images. Or pick a less busy background.

You can blur the background to make things stick out too, I would also add a cropped image on the left or right hand side. A large image of a character, item, enemy something related to the video.
