What goes in the middle of the donut chart?

Any figure you choose, with its own label, prefix, suffix and decimals. It does not have to be the total of the segments: it can be a percentage, a dollar amount or a count.

Does the center number count up?

Yes. The center figure counts up while the ring segments sweep in, timed by the animation preset, and holds on the final value.

How many segments can the ring have?

Two to six. Combine small categories into one segment for anything longer, so the ring stays readable at YouTube sizes.

Can I export the donut chart as an overlay?

Yes. Choose the transparent MOV format and the donut renders with an alpha channel, ready to place over your footage in any editor that imports ProRes.

A donut chart is a pie chart with room for the headline: the segments show the split and the big number in the middle counts up to the figure that matters, such as 92% called, $312M raised or 4.2M ballots. These animated video graphics sweep the ring in and count the center up together, so the two land on the same beat.

What you can change

Two to six segments, each with a label and a value.
The center figure with its own label, prefix, suffix and decimals, independent of the segments.
A title and subtitle, the theme (or your own brand colors and font) and the animation preset.

Choosing a design

The Classic is the clean base, the Capsule rounds the segment ends, the Slim and Bold designs change the ring's thickness, the Outline, Sketch and Striped designs change how the ring is drawn, the Two-Tone and Mono designs limit the colors, the Winner keeps only the largest segment in full color, and the Minimal is just the ring and the number.

In the edit

Export an MP4 for a full-frame cutaway or a transparent MOV to sit the donut over your own footage in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro or CapCut. Landscape and portrait sizes are both available.
