- Yes. Any work and rest structure, sets and rounds, plus an AMRAP display for circuits, in the video and in Zoom.

The Verdict
Seconds Pro is excellent at what it does — a reliable HIIT, tabata, and circuit timer on your phone. If that's all you need, keep using it.
Fit Cut Pro is for trainers who have outgrown "just a timer" — who want to record polished workout videos, run live Zoom classes with professional overlays, and publish to YouTube and Instagram. Seconds Pro runs your workout. Fit Cut Pro runs your fitness business.
Looking for a Seconds Pro alternative?
Most trainers who search for a Seconds Pro alternative are not unhappy with the timer. They have outgrown a timer that lives on their phone. The moment you start filming workouts, teaching on Zoom or posting to YouTube, a countdown on your own screen is invisible to the people who need it. Here is what usually triggers the switch:
- Clients cannot see the timer. Seconds Pro runs on your device. Fit Cut Pro puts the countdown, exercise name and next-up preview on your Zoom camera and inside the recorded video.
- You are editing the same video every week. Fit Cut Pro builds the video from your workout plan and your exercise clip library, so a new session is a new plan, not a new edit.
- You need a finished MP4, not a running timer. The Recorder and the Workout Creator both export MP4 files in up to 4K with timers, labels, logo and licensed music already applied.
- Your workouts are circuits and AMRAPs. The AMRAP display shows every movement and rep count on one screen, with demo clips, in recordings and live on Zoom.
Other Seconds Pro alternatives trainers consider: Smart WOD Timer, IntervalCam, the Fit Cut Pro Zoom workout timer app. Each one is a timer or overlay tool first; Fit Cut Pro is the only option on this list that also records and exports the finished workout video.
