Animated progress bars and countdowns for Final Cut Pro

Overview

Progress Bars is a Final Cut Pro title plugin that shows the current progress of anything on screen, such as how much time is left in a sponsored segment, a countdown or a goal.

The bar fills from the start of the title to the end, so you set the timing just 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.

Features

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.
