Graphics That Fit Cut Pro Generates Automatically

Every graphic element is created from your workout plan — no manual design required.

Countdown Timers

Visual countdown timers for every exercise and rest period. Automatically sized and positioned based on your workout plan timing.

Exercise Name Labels

The current exercise name is displayed on screen so viewers always know what they're doing. Changes automatically with each segment.

Next Exercise Preview

A preview clip of the upcoming exercise appears before each transition, giving viewers a heads-up on what's coming next.

Set & Round Counters

Round-based exercises display the current round number and set count. Viewers always know where they are in the workout.

Logo Overlay

Upload your logo once and it appears on every video. Customize position and size to match your brand.

Custom Intro & Outro

Branded intro and outro screens bookend your video. Customize colors and text to match your brand identity.
