How to create a simple Text Countdown/Timer in CapCut Desktop - 2 Methods
8Welcome.
In this video I will be showing you 2 methods on how to add a timer to your video in CapCut Desktop.
One method is to make a countdown video in MS ClipChamp and import that into CapCut.
And the other (and my preferred method) is to build one in CapCut yourself, and is fully customisable and compatible.
As of the time of this video (CapCut v4.6.0), it still does not have any simple way to add a dynamic countdown (or count up) to a video, and the stickers are not customisable. What you can do however is build one in the timeline in CapCut using text layers. This video will explain all.
