Two kinds of ranking video
A ranking over time: who was #1 each year, with overtakes. Paste one row per year and one column per item.
A countdown reveal: a single top-10 list whose bars grow into place. Paste two columns, name and value.
How to make one
Pick a question people argue about. 'Which country is richest?' beats 'GDP per capita'.
Find the data (our templates include sourced datasets you can start from) and paste it in.
Choose Bar race, show the top 10, add flags or logos, and keep the end-card leaderboard on.
Export a 9:16 MP4 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, and a 16:9 one for a longer YouTube version.
What makes a ranking video work
A surprise at #1. If everyone can guess the winner, open with the question of who's #2.
At least one overtake mid-video.
The source on screen. Ranking videos attract 'source?' comments; answer them in the frame.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a ranking video be?
20 to 40 seconds for TikTok, Reels and Shorts; 1 to 3 minutes for a YouTube video with more items and captions.
What data format do I need?
Any table works. Put dates down the first column and one column per item, or put items down the first column and dates across the top row. A three-column list (date, name, value) works too. Paste straight from Excel or Google Sheets, or upload a CSV.
Is it free?
Yes. You can build, preview and export 720p videos with a small watermark for free, no account needed. Pro is $11.99 a month and swaps our watermark for your logo, adds 1080p and 4K, 60 fps and music. Pro + AI is $19.99 a month and adds AI cleanup for messy data.
