What Are Progress Animations?
Progress animations show you a visual representation of the elapsed time of your video. Popular content creators, like Gary Vee, often include progress animations in their videos, especially to shorter clips. This helps viewers to know that watching your video won’t take up too much of their time.
Adding a progress animation can be especially effective on Instagram videos – that’s because Instagram doesn’t include any sort of progress bar in their video player. And even on other platforms like Facebook or LinkedIn, adding a progress animation can add a nice effect when sharing your podcast audio or musical track.
Now, let’s look at how easy it is to add one of these animations:
