How to use this asset and frequently asked questions
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.
