Video countdowns are a great way to start any event. However, it can sometimes be hard to find a wide selection of quality video countdowns that wont cost you an arm and a leg. So often we operate on a tight budget where there just isn’t room to pay for a new countdown each week, which is why free video countdowns are so great.
That’s where these three websites come in. All three of these sites provide quality video countdowns for you to download, as well as easy previews. And the best part is that you wont have to spend a dime on anything!

This is the largest source of free video countdowns on the net, very helpfully categorized to help you find the one that’s right for you.

They even have chroma countdowns with a green background so that you can key out the background and have your very own personalized video countdown. You’ll surely be able to find a few video countdowns that are right for your next event.
Set a Countdown Timer. To set a countdown timer, you'll need to have a Cue List open. Then, click 'More' in the top menu and select 'Countdown.' You can also use the 'F6' key on your keyboard for quick access. This will open up the countdown timer pane (as pictured below). In the black preview screen, drag and drop to position the countdown.

Church Countdown Timer Free Download
This site is a great resource for Churches. Not only do they have a number of free video countdowns, but they also have sermons, graphics and videos available for download. One of the great strengths of this site is that all of the countdowns are themed to fit in with a sermon series. And although this is great if your Church is doing the same sermon series, it can be a bit crippling if you’re looking for more general countdowns. Some of the series do have quite a generic base (such as one on “Questions”), so definitely worth checking out.
Great stuff, here.
