Video Data Widgets: Scoreboards, Polls, QR Codes & More
Beyond text and shapes, ExpoCut has a whole catalog of data overlays — scoreboards, polls, stat bars, QR codes, tickers. They’re the graphics that make a video feel like a broadcast or an app. Here’s the toolbox.
Titles label, shapes decorate — but widgets carry information. ExpoCut ships 22 of them: the scoreboards, polls, tickers, and QR codes that make a video feel like a TV broadcast or a polished app screen. They drop on the canvas as real layers you configure.

Step 1 — Add a widget
Open Add and choose Widget
The full catalog appears.
Pick the widget you need
Scoreboard, poll, QR — whatever fits the moment.
Configure its fields
Every widget has its own settings — team names and scores, poll options, the QR link, ticker text. Fill them in and it updates live.
Filter by category — News, Clock, Social, Sports
A widget lands on the canvas as a real, movable layer
Step 2 — Style and place it
Widgets are layers, so the usual rules apply: keep them in the safe area, match colors to your brand, and don’t cover the action. A subtle shade behind a busy widget keeps it readable.
One hero widget per moment. A scoreboard and a poll and a ticker all at once is noise. Lead with one, support with at most one more.
A few recipes
- Engagement hook: a Poll widget — “Drop a 1 or a 2” — over your B-roll.
- Call to action: a QR Code in the last 3 seconds, with a title “Scan to shop.”
- Sports recap: a Scoreboard over the highlight, confetti on the win.
- Fake DM skit: comment and like-burst widgets for a social-native bit.
Where to go next
- Add a ticking clock: countdown timers.
- Animate data over time: bar chart race videos.
- Title the call-to-action: text & titles.
Twenty-two widgets, one canvas — the difference between a clip and a broadcast is usually the right overlay in the right corner.
