The basics
What is a to-do list animation?
A to-do list animation is a clip of a to-do list being worked through: each task's box is checked and the task is crossed out, one after another, until the list is done. It suits day-in-the-life videos, productivity and study content, and any “here's what I got done” moment.
This one opens on a list titled To do with five everyday tasks, on a white card over the Paper look. Each square box fills with a check and a line strikes through the task as the text fades to grey. Swap in your own tasks, up to eight of them.
For a list that builds up as you talk, set Items appear to One by one: the card grows as each task arrives and is ticked.
To put it on your video, see how to add a checklist animation in CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro.

How it works
How to make a to-do list animation.
Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.
1
Write the list
Give it a title, or leave the title empty, and type up to eight items of up to 60 characters each. Long items wrap onto a second line.
2
Choose the ticks
Circle or Box fill with a check mark, Strike draws a line through the item. Choose whether ticked items stay bright, dim or get struck through, and pick a tick color.
3
Set the timing and the look
Show the whole list first or bring items in one by one, and set the time per item from 0.4 to 3 seconds. Then pick one of six looks, and put the list on a card if you want one.

When a checklist animation isn’t enough
The free checklist animation is the starting point.
Here you get a clean checklist on a background. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you actually want — “my three rules for the gym beside me, each one lighting up as I say it and ticking when I finish it” — 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.
