Edit: TL;DR a progress bar in the rendered MP4/GIF like this:

Is your feature request related to a problem?

There's no indication of how long an export would look like so I think a progress bar might be a useful feature.

Describe the solution you'd like

May be nice to have a progress bar in the final export that goes along the screen with options including:

• Location of the progress bar such as top or bottom of the screen
• Color of the progress bar
• Width of the progress bar

This can be particularly useful for GIFs or MP4s that are embedded without controls so that viewers know how long the media is before it loops or they should leave.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Numbers you can put on the corner indicating elapsed time / total time where elapsed time changes until it equals total time (when the video/GIF finishes). A visual progess bar is nice though so viewers don't need to read the numbers and instead just see a line going across.

Aren't we literally showing the frame progress? which is the bar moving as and when the frames progress. I don't understand what other visual progress bar would you like. I think false indications of "time" is bad and never accurate as it depends on the device.

What I mean is the exported video/GIF not the "exporting" bar. As in the output MP4/GIF itself has a progress bar once rendered.

The progress bar between fully rendered and triggering the save as popup?

Sorry if my description wasn't easy to understand, I mean a progress bar within the rendered GIF/MP4 like this at the top in this example rendered GIF:

Ah I see, that feature seems interesting
