Free top 5 list animation maker

Five places sliding into a numbered list, one a second, from 05 down to 01, with number one lit up at the end. Type your own five and download it as a 1080p MP4. Free, no sign-up, no watermark.

The basics

What is a top 5 list animation?

A top 5 list animation is a short clip of five ranked things appearing one after another in a numbered list, with number one saved for last: five coffee orders, five apps, five mistakes to avoid. It's the on-screen list behind top 5 videos, recaps and explainers.

This one builds the list from nothing. The title sits on the left, each place slides in on the right while the others move over to make room, and number one arrives last in a filled card that catches the light. The numbers read 01 to 05.

Five is where it starts, not a limit: remove places for a top 3, or add more, up to ten. For a vertical video, switch the frame to 9:16 and the title moves above the list.

How it works

How to make a top 5 list animation.

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

  1. 1

    Type your ranking

    Add a title and from 2 to 10 places, with number one on the first line. A name can be up to 36 characters, and a long one wraps onto a second line.

  2. 2

    Choose how it's revealed

    In a list keeps every place on screen as the next arrives. One at a time gives each place the frame to itself. Count down to number one or up from it, at 0.5 to 5 seconds per place.

  3. 3

    Pick the design

    Numbers as 1, 01 or #1, number one highlighted or not, and an accent color of your own. Then one of six looks, a typeface and a frame: 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 or 4:5.

  4. 4

    Download the MP4

    Press Download. The video is rendered in your browser at 1080p and saved to your device. No account, no watermark.

When a ranking list isn’t enough

The free ranking list is the starting point.

Here you get a clean ranked list on a background. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you actually want, for example “a top 5 list beside me that fills in each place as I name it, with number one in our brand color”, and it's designed from scratch on your own video. Attach your logo, your fonts or a screenshot as a reference. Not right yet? Ask for the change in the chat.

Questions

Top 5 list animation: your questions, answered.

How do I make a top 5 list animation?

This page opens on one: five places counting down to number one. Type your own five into the list, with number one on the first line, and press Download for a 1080p MP4 with no watermark.

Can I make a top 3 or a top 7 instead?

Yes. The list takes from 2 to 10 places. Remove rows for a top 3, or press Add a place for more.

Can the list show every number first and fill in as it goes?

Yes. Turn on Show the empty places first. All five numbered places appear as outlines, then each one fills in when its turn comes.

How fast do the places appear?

One a second on this page. Seconds per place goes from 0.5 to 5, and the finished list rests for 2 seconds at the end, which you can set anywhere from 0 to 5.

Is the ranking 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.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The ranking list 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 ranking list 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.
