Is there a free workout video maker with timers?
Short answer: Not one that generates the timers for you. Free editors such as CapCut, iMovie and the free version of DaVinci Resolve can make workout videos, but every countdown timer, exercise name and rest screen is a manual text layer you place and sync per set. Fit Cut Pro generates them from your plan or from a recording; it is not free, but the 14-day trial includes 5 workout videos with no credit card, and plans start at $49.99 per month for 10 videos.
What free tools give you
CapCut, iMovie and DaVinci Resolve are capable editors and cost nothing. For a workout video you will cut each set, add a timer as a text or sticker layer, type the exercise name and align everything by hand. A 20-exercise circuit is about 40 timers. Interval timer apps such as Seconds Pro count sets on your phone but do not produce a video.
What the Fit Cut Pro trial includes
Fourteen days, five workout videos, every feature: the Creator, the AI Editor with recordings up to 30 minutes, the Recorder, the Zoom app, licensed music and FIT AI credits. No credit card is needed and nothing is charged when the trial ends.
Cost per video after the trial
Starter is $49.99 per month for 10 videos, about $5 per video. Pro is $99.99 for 40 videos, about $2.50. Ultimate is $199.99 for 100 videos, about $2. Each video takes minutes rather than an evening, which is where the real saving is.
When free is enough
If you publish a workout video a couple of times a year and enjoy editing, a free editor is fine. If you publish weekly, run online classes or sell programmes, the manual timer work is the bottleneck a generator removes.
