How to use this asset and frequently asked questions
Free to customize and download
This progress bars 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 with a watermark. Export ProRes 4444 for the widest professional editor compatibility, or WebM for OBS and web use. Transparent WebM can show glow or shadow artifacts in CapCut. No AI tokens are required for the daily Community render.
Use it as an editable DaVinci Resolve title
Export this asset as a .drfx template for DaVinci Resolve 21+ on macOS and Windows, instead of a rendered clip. These settings become controls in the Resolve Inspector, so you can change them for each video without rendering again:
- Progress Window Title
- Status Message Text
- Error Modal Title
- Error Body Text
- System Window Gray
- Active Title Bar Color
- Progress Block Color
- Error Icon Red
- Progress Window Width
- Title Font Size
- Body Font Size
- Dialog Padding
- Show 3D Bevel Borders
- Trigger Error Modal
- Entrance Frame Count
- Error Shake Intensity
Add the asset to your workspace and choose DaVinci on its card. The editable export is a one-time unlock of 15 tokens (5 for your own assets); downloading it again is free. If the asset can't be packaged as a Resolve title, the export stops before any tokens are charged.
How to use this asset+
This 1920x1080 transparent video asset is 5 seconds long and exports in WebM (with alpha channel) and ProRes 4444 formats.
Premiere Pro: Place on a track above your footage. Keyframe the Crop effect (Effect Controls > Crop > Right) to reveal the bar from 0% to 100% over your desired duration.
DaVinci Resolve: Drop on a track above footage. Use the Fusion page to keyframe the reveal or mask node, animating from no-fill to full-fill over time.
Final Cut Pro: Add above your primary storyline. Use the built-in Crop effect in the Inspector to keyframe the reveal from left to right.
CapCut: Add as an overlay. Use keyframes on the crop/scale property to reveal the bar progressively across your timeline.
Tips
- Align checkpoints on the progress bar with tutorial steps or milestones — viewers get a visual sense of progress through your content.
- Use color changes at key milestones (e.g., green at 100%) to signal completion, which reinforces a satisfying sense of accomplishment.
- Keep progress bars simple in design — their function is information, not decoration.
Frequently asked questions+
How do I adjust the fill percentage of the progress bar?
Use keyframes on the Crop or mask effect to control how much of the bar is visible at any given moment in your timeline.
Are progress bars good for tutorial videos?
Yes — they're especially effective for step-by-step tutorials where showing overall progress helps viewers understand how much content remains.
Is this asset free to use?
Yes. You can add and customize community assets for free, then download one rendered WebM or ProRes 4444 clip per day with a watermark to use in your video projects. Exporting an asset as an editable DaVinci Resolve title is a separate paid unlock.
Can I customize this asset?
Use the live configuration above to preview changes, then sign up for a free account to add this asset to your workspace. From there you can edit colors, text, timing, and other properties before rendering.
What formats are available?
Rendered clips are available as WebM with alpha channel and ProRes 4444. Both include true transparency for clean compositing in your timeline. Assets with supported text, color, number and on/off settings can also be exported as editable DaVinci Resolve 21+ titles (.drfx).
