The basics
What is a horizontal bar chart animation?
A horizontal bar chart animation is a video of bars growing from left to right, one row per category, each stopping at its value while the number counts up. It's a column chart lying on its side, and it's the usual choice for rankings and for categories with long names.
This one opens on five traffic sources that add up to 100%: Search at 42%, then Social, Direct, Email and Referral. Highlight the largest is on, so Search keeps the gradient and gets a badge around its value while the other four step back. Replace the rows with your own, and set Bar order to Largest first to turn any list into a ranking.
In the tall and square frames each label sits on a line of its own above its bar, which leaves the bars most of the width. In the 16:9 frame the labels move to a column on the left, the way a printed chart has them.
To put it on your video, see how to add a bar chart in CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro.

How it works
How to make a horizontal bar chart animation.
Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.
1
Type your data
Give the chart a title, then a label and a number for each bar: anywhere from 2 to 8 of them. Add a prefix or suffix such as $, % or K, and sort the bars by value if you want a ranking.
2
Choose the chart
Stand the bars up or lay them down. Give them the look's gradient or a color each, and decide whether to show the values, highlight the largest bar, or add gridlines and a scale.
3
Set the motion and the look
Grow the bars in a wave, one by one or all together, over 1 to 20 seconds. Then pick one of six looks and four typefaces, or your own colors, and a frame: 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 or 4:5.
