Countdown numbers expression?
by Tara Devlin on Aug 1, 2008 at 5:31:08 pm

Can someone help with an expression that generates a number countdown or point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Tara

something like this will countdown each frame:

t = time / thisComp.frameDuration;
value - t;

just create a text layer, enter a number (say '100'), then paste that expression into the source text expression field, and it will count down by 1 for every frame. you could add a multiplier to the 't' variable to have it count down differently:

n = 10;
t = n * time / thisComp.frameDuration;
value - t;

now it will count down by 10 for each frame.

I like this universal counter from Dan, very versatile:

and his Universal up/down clock, here;
