How to use this asset and frequently asked questions
Free to customize and download
This countdowns asset is free to add to your workspace and free to edit — adjust its text, colors, timing and layout before you export. Free accounts include one free render per day, exported as WebM with alpha channel or ProRes 4444 for Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, CapCut and OBS. No AI tokens required.
How to use this asset+
This 1080x1080 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. OBS supports WebM with alpha natively, so use the WebM export here — it keeps the file size far smaller than ProRes 4444 while preserving full transparency.
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.

Add the countdown as a Media Source in OBS on your Starting Soon scene. Uncheck Loop and set it to play once when you activate the scene.
