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.
Quick answer
In ExpoCut, tap Widget in the bottom bar (or + ▸ Widget) to open the Widgets catalog — 23 overlays filtered by All · News · Clock · Social · Sports. Tap one (News Ticker, Breaking Banner, News Alert, Live Clock, Countdown Timer, Stopwatch, Follower Counter, Like Burst, Comment Bubble, Poll, Scoreboard, Bar Chart Race, QR Code and more), pick a preset, fill its Content fields, adjust Style and Advanced, and tap Save. It lands on the canvas as its own layer with a 10-second clip; drag, resize and tap Style on its toolbar to re-edit.
- Widget is a bottom-bar entry; the catalog lists 23 widgets with one-line descriptions and category tabs.
- Every widget opens its own editor: presets at the top, then Content · Style · Advanced tabs and a Save button.
- Widgets are real layers — a 10 s clip on a T-row that you can move, resize, trim and keyframe.
- News Alert / Breaking Banner / Ticker for broadcast bits; Countdown, Stopwatch, Live Clock for time; Poll, Follower Counter, Like Burst for social.
- One hero widget per moment — support it with at most one more.
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 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.
