How to Add Timers and Graphics
Professional workout videos have countdown timers, exercise labels, and branded overlays. With Fit Cut Pro, all of these are generated automatically from your workout plan — no design skills needed.
Graphics That Are Auto-Generated
Adding professional timer graphics to workout videos traditionally requires After Effects, keyframing, and hours of design work per video.
Most trainers skip this step entirely, resulting in plain videos with no visual cues for their clients.
Fit Cut Pro generates all graphics automatically. Build a workout plan — timers, labels, previews, and overlays follow.
