Free 45-minute timer video

A 45-minute countdown timer as a 1080p MP4: 45:00 to 00:00, inside a ring that empties as the time runs out. Download it as it is, or change the style, colors and frame first.

The basics

What is a 45-minute timer video?

A 45-minute timer video is a clip of a clock counting down from 45:00 to 00:00, 2,700 seconds in all. Forty-five minutes is a typical class period or a long study block.

This one is 2,702 seconds long: the countdown, then two seconds resting on 00:00 while the digits blink. At 30 frames a second that's 81,060 frames, all drawn and encoded in your browser, so give it time and keep the tab open while it renders.

Play it full screen on a stream or a slide, or put it in the corner of a longer video. To lay it over footage, set the background to green and key it out, or switch the style to Digits for the time alone.

To put it on your video, see how to add a timer in CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro.

How it works

How to make a 45-minute timer video.

Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.

  1. 1

    Set the time

    Type the minutes and seconds, anything from 1 second to 60 minutes. Choose whether it counts down like a timer or up like a stopwatch, and whether it reads as 1:30 or as 90.

  2. 2

    Choose a style

    Ring puts the time inside a circle that empties as it runs out; Bar puts a bar under it; Digits shows the time alone. Add a label, and a word to show when the time is up.

  3. 3

    Pick the look

    Six looks and four typefaces, or set the digits and the background to any color: green or black if you'll lay the timer over other footage. Four frame shapes: 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 and 4:5.

  4. 4

    Download the MP4

    Press Download. The timer is rendered in your browser at 1080p and saved to your device. A short timer takes seconds; a long one takes a few minutes. No account, no watermark.

Timers by length

When a timer isn’t enough

The free timer is the starting point.

Here you get a clean timer on a background. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you actually want — “a 30-second timer in the corner while I do the challenge, then a results card with my time” — and it's designed from scratch on your own video. Attach your logo or a screenshot and it matches them. Not right yet? Ask for the change in the chat.

Questions

45-minute timer video: your questions, answered.

How do I make a 45-minute timer video?

This page opens on one: 45:00 counting down to 00:00. Press Download for a 1080p MP4, or change the style, the colors, the label and the frame shape first. It's free and has no watermark.

How long does a 45-minute timer take to make?

It's rendered on your device rather than downloaded from a server, so it depends on your computer: 81,060 frames at 30 fps is several minutes, and longer on an older computer. The button shows progress and an estimate of the time left.

Does the 45-minute timer have an alarm or any sound?

No. The MP4 is video only, so it's silent. Add an alarm, a beep or music in your editor.

Can I use the timer in PowerPoint, Google Slides or OBS?

Yes. It's a standard MP4, so it works wherever a video does: insert it on a slide, add it as a media source in OBS, or put it on a timeline in any editor.

Can I change it to a different length?

Yes. Type any time from 1 second to 60 minutes into Minutes and Seconds. There is also a page for each common length, linked on this page.

Is the timer video maker free?

Yes. It's free to use and free to download, with no account, no email address and no watermark on the video. There's no limit on how many you make.

What format and resolution is the video?

An MP4 with H.264 video, at 1080p in the shape you choose: 1080×1920 (9:16) for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1920×1080 (16:9) for YouTube, 1080×1080 (1:1), or 1080×1350 (4:5) for the Instagram feed. You can export at 30 or 60 frames per second.

Can I get the timer with a transparent background?

MP4 can't store transparency, so the timer comes ready to key instead. Set the background to green and remove it with chroma key in your editor. If the graphic is light, you can also set the background to black and use the Screen blend mode. Either way only the timer is left over your footage.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The timer is drawn and encoded on your own device, using your browser's built-in video encoder. Nothing is sent to a server and there's no render queue.

Can I use the timer in client work, ads or monetized videos?

Yes. The video you download is yours to use in personal and commercial projects, with no attribution needed.

Can I match my brand, add my logo or change the design?

Not in the free maker, which is deliberately simple. That's what Rescroll's AI motion graphics are for: describe the graphic you want in plain English, attach your logo, fonts or a screenshot of your style, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the word you say. Ask for any change in the chat. It's part of the Pro, Ultimate and Scale plans.
