What is a progress bar video maker?

A progress bar video maker lets you create an MP4 clip where a bar fills from left to right to show a percentage, goal, or completion status. AECharts exports these so they can be dropped into presentations, shared on social media, or embedded in reports.

What is a progress bar video?

A progress bar video is an MP4 clip where a bar fills to represent a metric — quota attainment, project completion, campaign progress, or any KPI. The fill animation draws the eye and communicates change in a way a static number cannot.

Can I import data from Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. Import from Excel or connect a Google Sheets URL. AECharts reads your values and animates the bar to the correct fill percentage automatically.

What export formats are available?

Export as MP4 at 1080p or as a static image. The progress bar video works in PowerPoint, Google Slides, LinkedIn, Instagram, and reports.

Can I show multiple progress bars at once?

Yes. Add multiple rows of data to create a stacked comparison — quota attainment across five sales reps or goal completion across four departments.

Can I customize the colors and labels?

Yes. Set a fill color, background color, and label style for each bar. Add a percentage label, category name, or custom annotation.

What is the difference between a progress bar video and a gauge chart?

Both show progress toward a goal, but a progress bar is linear (horizontal fill) while a gauge chart uses a semicircular arc. Progress bar videos are better for side-by-side comparisons of multiple KPIs. Gauge charts work well for a single featured metric in a dashboard or cover slide.

Can I use a progress bar video in a presentation?

Yes. The MP4 export drops directly into PowerPoint and Google Slides. Progress bar videos work well on KPI slides, OKR reviews, campaign updates, and quarterly business reviews where you want the number to feel earned rather than just reported.

Do I need design skills?

No. Templates are professionally designed. Import your values, adjust colors if needed, and export. Most users create their first progress bar video in under a minute.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. All features are free with unlimited image exports. Video exports at 1080p require a Pro plan starting at $12/month billed annually. No credit card required to start.

When to Use a Progress Bar Video

Progress bar videos work best when a percentage or completion metric needs to communicate status at a glance.

Quota Attainment

Show sales reps at 84% of target. The fill animation makes the gap visible in a way a number in a table cannot.

OKR Progress

A progress bar video for each key result communicates status faster than a slide full of text in quarterly reviews.

Campaign Performance

Leads at 60% of goal. Budget at 45% spent. Side-by-side bars make pacing obvious without a dashboard.

Fundraising and Crowdfunding

Show how far you are toward a target. A filling bar is more compelling than a static dollar amount on a social post.

Project Completion

Phase completion, sprint velocity, onboarding steps. A progress bar video communicates status in seconds during standups.

Survey and Poll Results

Multiple bars reveal response distributions without requiring viewers to parse a table or pie chart.

Progress Bar Video vs Gauge Chart: Which Should You Use?

Both show progress toward a goal, but work best in different contexts.

Progress Bar Video

Best for: Comparing multiple metrics at once — quotas, OKRs, campaign pacing.

Strength: Linear and horizontal, so multiple bars stack naturally. Easy to scan in a list.

Use when: You have 2–8 metrics to compare side by side.

Gauge Chart

Best for: A single featured KPI — NPS, capacity utilization, health score.

Strength: Circular format feels prominent. Works well as a hero visual on a dashboard or cover slide.

Use when: One number is the centrepiece of the slide or card.

AECharts supports both. Switch between progress bar and gauge to find the right format for your data.
