Overlay
Chapter Progress
Segments that fill one at a time, for a video in parts.
An overlay sits on top of footage to call something out — a note, a toast, a marker — and leaves again without a cut.

How this one is built
Chapter Progress is built from 10 shapes and 1 text layer, using a shadow 24 pixels deep. Its colours are white and violet. Type is set in Inter.
The chapter 1 fill, chapter 1 track and chapter 2 fill fade up at 0.1s, the label fades up at 0.6s. The whole run is 10s at 60 frames a second.
It sits along the top of a 16:9 composition, spanning about 82% of the width at 1580×62 pixels.
What to do with it
- Make it yoursChange the words, the colours and the timing without breaking the animation that was built for the shape.
- Export it with transparencyWhich format your editor actually reads, and why a black rectangle behind your graphic means the wrong one was chosen.
- Keep it clear of the edgesWhere an overlay can sit without colliding with the player, the end screen or a caption.
- YouTube Overlay MakerBuild an overlay from nothing, with the transparency decided by you rather than inherited.
- What exporting costsOpening this template, changing it and watching it back are free. Getting the finished file out is $5 once for this project, or a plan if you make them often.
