How to Show Poll Results in a Video

Step by step

1. 1

   Choose the result format

   Poll Result Bars is for real vote shares, with rows that fill while percentages count up. Tier List Board is for ranking a set of things from S down to D. This or That is for a two-way choice, with a pointer tapping one card. Top Ten Reveal and Rating Scale Meter cover countdowns and verdicts.

2. 2

   Enter options in matching order

   On Poll Result Bars, Title holds the question, Subtitle the vote count, and Labels and Values line up by position. The highest value gets the winner highlight automatically. Tier List Board has tier names in Labels and 12 numbered chips, and Variation changes where they land. This or That always picks the first of its Labels.

3. 3

   Pace the reveal

   Defaults are 5 or 7.5 seconds. Increase Duration when your voiceover reads each option aloud, so the fills do not finish before you do. Rows are sized from the frame width, so at 9:16 keep option names short or lower Scale. Use 1:1 or 4:5 for a result posted straight to a feed.

4. 4

   Export a full-frame results card

   All five presets ship on a solid background, so MP4 is the straightforward export for a results card. For a poll over a presenter or gameplay, set Background to Transparent first. Then use a PNG sequence in Premiere Pro or After Effects, or WebM with alpha in CapCut, since MP4 cannot store transparency.

5. 5

   Cut from question to answer

   In DaVinci Resolve, drop the MP4 into the media pool and cut to it just after you ask the question on camera. In CapCut, add the WebM as an overlay beside your face and pinch it down to size. Trim the clip after the winner lights up so the result gets the final beat.

Where it is used

• Audience results videos

  A channel that polled its community shows Poll Result Bars with the real question, options and shares, and reads the winner aloud while its row lights up with the crown.

• Ranking debate videos

  A film or food creator opens a ranking episode with Tier List Board and then argues each placement, with the title naming the set being ranked for anyone joining late.

• Short-form choice questions

  A vertical clip asks a two-option question with This or That, entering the host's own choice first in Labels so the pointer agrees with the opinion that follows.

Three tips that make it look intentional

• Reveal the winning bar last so the result has a beat.
• Round percentages: decimals slow the read.
• Four to six options keeps the chart legible on a phone.

Three things people get wrong

• Revealing the result before the question has been on screen long enough to read.
• Showing percentages that do not sum to a sensible total.
• Putting more than five rows in a tier list, which stops reading as a ranking.
