Boost user engagement
Create hype around product launches or events using our countdown video maker. With every second that passes, viewers become increasingly engaged in what happens next. Use a catchy font, some music, and intriguing visuals from Flixier’s extensive stock library to add an extra layer of excitement.
Structure exercise videos
Countdown timers are a standard in fitness instruction. They keep participants aware of the remaining duration for each set or round. Create a countdown timer to help guide your viewers through their workouts, establishing breaks and intervals with ease. This way, you can focus more on providing quality workout advice while the timer handles time management.
Improve live broadcasts
Hosting a webinar, live stream, or an educational session with quizzes or experiments? Use Flixier as an intro maker to insert a few minutes of a countdown timer at the beginning, allowing late joiners to hop on without missing any important points. This also applies to Q&A sessions, where you might want to limit how long each participant can speak or answer questions.
Get the most out of Flixier
Beyond a countdown timer, Flixier offers multiple features for creating and enhancing your videos. Add animations, graphics, sound effects, or even AI-generated voiceovers to make your videos stand out from the crowd. So why stop at a simple countdown timer? With Flixier, you get to do so much more.
How to use our countdown video maker:
Open Flixier
Click the Get Started button to open Flixier in your web browser. Go to the Text tab on the left side of the screen and select a text preset that fits the style you want for your countdown numbers.
Add numbers to the timeline
Drag the text preset to the timeline multiple times (one for each number in your countdown). For each text layer on the timeline, double-click to edit the text and type in the numbers you need in descending order. Use the text properties panel on the right to adjust the font, size, and color of each number. Space out the numbers on the timeline based on how long you want each number displayed.
Customize and export
Add the background video to the timeline below the numbers to display your countdown over a video. Trim it to match the countdown duration. When finished, click the Export button to download your countdown video.

My main criteria for an editor was that the interface is familiar and most importantly that the renders were in the cloud and super fast. Flixier more than delivered in both. I've now been using it daily to edit Facebook videos for my 1M follower page.

I’ve been looking for a solution like Flixier for years. Now that my virtual team and I can edit projects together on the cloud with Flixier, it tripled my company’s video output! Super easy to use and unbelievably quick exports.
