Overlay
Top Progress Bar
A bar along the top edge that fills at a true rate.
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
Top Progress Bar is built from 2 shapes and 1 text layer, using a shadow 24 pixels deep. Its colours are white and red. Type is set in Inter.
The progress fill and progress track fade up at 0.1s, the label fades up at 0.5s. 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 1580×66 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.
