What it does

Animated progress bars and countdowns for Final Cut Pro

The bar fills from the start of the title to the end, so you set the timing by setting the title's length. Delay, Speed and Ease fine-tune when and how smoothly it moves.

Add a progress bug, an icon that marks the current position, and a counter that counts up or down, as numbers or as time in seconds.

Style everything: size, angle, roundness, borders, shadows, solid or striped fills, and slide-in and slide-out animation. The bug and the fills can even use your own media through Drop Zones.

  • Timed by length: the bar fills over the length of the title. Press Control-D to type an exact duration.
  • Counters: count up or down, as numbers or as time in seconds, with font, decimals and step size options.
  • Progress bug: an icon that rides along with the progress, or your own image in a Drop Zone.
  • Fill styles: solid or striped fills for the progress and the background, or a Drop Zone with your own media.
  • Look and position: width, height, angle, roundness, borders and shadows, with an on-screen position control.
  • Slide in and out: start and end positions with their own speed and ease.
