Printing a progress bar in gnome-terminal to track command execution progress

Version: Fedora 34 Workstation

I frequently run cp commands like below from command line.
In bash/gnone-terminal, is there any way, a progress bar can be printed to track the progress this command ?
Or anything that can show me how much work has been completed ?

cp -p /run/media/johndoe/3565-3034/DCIM/Camera/*.mp4 /home/johndoe/Edrive/Videos-Tech/

You could use rsync instead of cp. It has an option for showing progress, --progress.
