A lot of people have asked me, "Hey Daniel...
Is there a way to make like a progress bar
or a power bar to go along with my footage in Filmora9?"
Well there actually is!
Oops, looks like I'm out of time

to create this effect, the first thing you want to do is go up into your upper
left into your sample colors section now you can choose any colors that you want
to use for this particular effect but I'm using green for the actual motion
and gray is the background so let me start by bringing gray down into my
timeline I'm gonna stretch that out right across here and in the track above
it I'm gonna bring down the green and stretch that out as well now if you
double left-click on your green down in the timeline in the upper left you'll
see options for motion if you scroll down you'll see an option for move to
top double left click on that and it will apply it to your green track then
you can just click OK now when you play your footage you'll see that this green
moves upward in the upper right but I need a little more motion than that
let's lock that grey track down in our timeline let's left-click on the green
and in the upper right in the preview window let's grab that green track and
let's bring it down to somewhere about the middle of this screen if we rewind
and hit play you'll see that that slowly moves upward my goal here is to try to
get that green to stop right up by the top I'm a little bit short of that let
me try this again and let me move it just a hair higher and play it again and
watch right where it stops at the top and when it gets there I want you to
stop your footage right there let's slice both the gray
and the green footage here and we can get rid of everything at the end now
let's export this footage just as it is I call this bouncing when you send
something out mixed so you can bring it back in later to use again
let's keep our settings fairly high I'm gonna go for full 60 frames per second
on 80,000 kbps I want this to be really crisp now back in our project let's
bring that back in and we can eliminate the stuff in our timeline bring your
footage down into your timeline and find where in your footage you want that
progress bar to start if you know that you want your progress bar to exist for
about 10 seconds what you want to do is bring that green motion track down into
a track above your timeline right-click on it choose speed and duration and then
set the motion for 10 seconds and click OK that'll take that motion and spread
it out so it exists for about 10 seconds now here's the cool trick let's lock our
main footage left-click on our green motion and up in the preview window
let's move this over and slide it into a narrower band now I did a vertical bar
but you can do this horizontally if you want simply by grabbing that and
rotating it to where you need it to be but for this case I'm gonna do a
vertical bar let's get that somewhere to the size we
think it might want to be now in this case the green is actually moving upward
I want it to move downward so I'm gonna right click on that choose speed and
duration again and click reverse speed that'll spin that motion around so now
it starts moving downward now you could resize this and move it however you want
I actually want to put a little bit of a background behind this so let me grab
that and move it into one track above go back into the upper left grab the sample
colors and bring down the black and let's stretch that out for the entire
length of this progress bar now just like before let's left-click on the
black track and let's resize up above so it just sort of outlines
this thing and makes it look more like an actual progress bar now if I click
play that will start to move downward over the amount of time that I set in
the speed and duration now one of the other tricks that I had done is I
actually use titles to create some names the start and the end next to that you
can do that really easily just by clicking on the titles tab going to
titles and bringing something down into a track above this lets name that start
now I also create a little scale to make it look like it was measuring some
actual increments of time and that was another simple cool trick I did just by
grabbing another title track bringing that down above the other tracks that
are in existence right now stretching it out and up in the left instead of
putting in words I use the underscore and I just kept returning and entering
that over and over again let me shrink that down into something I can use I'm
going to left-click and invert it so it's over here and I'll stick it right
under the word start and now it looks like I've actually got some kind of
gauges that's measuring absolutely nothing but it helps pull this effect
off and makes it look a little cooler try this trick yourself at home and see
how you can use it in different ways to make your project look cool if you want
