P.S:- The quality of the audio of my previous tutorial was bad so I have created this. I will also create a video for the progress bar in near future because audio was bad. I have flagged my old post to get it deleted. I have also adapted to making quick videos so time is not wasted, have a great day 
I am working on creating skateboard progress bar, for which let’s be honest I will use After Effects to animate. But will somehow implement to get used in shotcut. For those who can understand in words, the skateboard will move in a straight line with the wheels rotating and just before a marker it would do a smooth jump and land on marker. And then smoothly fall back on the progress bar and move forward.
