How to use this asset and frequently asked questions

Shared
How to use this asset+

This 1920x1080 transparent video asset is 10 seconds long and exports in WebM (with alpha channel) and ProRes 4444 formats.

Premiere Pro: Sync the countdown to your content by aligning the end frame of the animation with your zero moment using timecode in the Effect Controls panel.

DaVinci Resolve: Drop on a track above footage. Use the Inspector > Transform panel for positioning. To sync the endpoint, use the clip's end point in the timeline.

Final Cut Pro: Add above your primary storyline. Trim the clip's out-point so the countdown ends at your target timestamp. Use the Inspector for position adjustments.

CapCut: Add as an overlay and trim the end of the clip to align with your zero moment. Use the canvas handles to position.

OBS Studio: Add as a Media Source for stream starting-soon scenes. Uncheck Loop so the countdown runs once and stops automatically.

Tips

  • Use countdown animations at natural pause points — before a challenge, reveal, or transition — rather than forcing them into your content.
  • Countdown overlays work well for YouTube Premiere screens. Add the countdown animation over your thumbnail for a pre-stream experience.
  • Match countdown visual style to your channel brand — sci-fi, minimal, or retro — for a consistent identity.
