[@vallarichi]

can you make a tutorial like this? : while the camera moves forward there is a accelerate it with a kind of blur glithc that bring you more forward of the clip ??? i don't know if you have understand :)

[@vallarichi]

nope... i know but this effect is very particular it's not the classic glith effect...sorry but I once saw in a video ....I asked him why he could perhaps create something like ...it's just an idea for another video dude

[@kristicifci5389]

that effect is called zoom transisitions or in and out transisitions bro justi nhas already dones this video for that effect

[@thepresence2095]

Thanks a lot bro, I really needed this tute you're the best. Please is it possible to make the numbers animate in slow mo?

[@user-qi2sk2bn3q]

theres sooo many videos explaining counters so confusing with so many different ways, this is the best, most simplified and well explained. (thanks for the help)

[@brazlyBW]

if you wanted to add text without going back into the expression you can just write: "text.sourceText + effect("Slider Control")("Slider")" this will make it so you can write anything you want in the normal text box like you would normally

[@dealervideos1930]

Finally- someone who gets right to the point!!!! I usually have to skip ahead about 1 minute before learning anything useful. Well done!

[@damonclaussen1125]

Simple and effective tutorial. Thanks for keeping it simple in presentation too. Your voice is clear and articulate, and no annoying music track.

[@andresmoraprince]

effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value.toFixed(0)

[@Conrad0124]

I keep coming back to this one for those expressions!

[@dennismwest]

Excellent tutorial, showed me exactly what I needed to know including appending text onto the number. Thanks!

[@Pokawax]

I watched SOOO many videos for this simple trick. But yours is definitly the best one :D

[@peterhutton4975]

How do you add a comma using this method on a longer number? Ie 1,000? Great tutorial!

[@giovaughnmiller1908]

num = effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value.toFixed(2) function addCommas(x) { return x.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ","); } addCommas(num)

[@yastepbl0ndesister858]

I wish KZbin had an "Extra Love" button beside the "Thumbs Up" button. Thank you for this.

[@brianfinney2563]

Ok this was amazing, simple, clear, short. Perfect tutorial. thank you Justin

[@NerdFiction]

Can't believe it took me this long just to realize how to apply my own slider controls. THIS OPENS UP SO MUCH!

[@Naious]

Is there a way to put points, like "1,000" "3,123.45"?

[@pedrorodrigoalves]

thanks for that, was having some problems with the 'numbers' effect and this saved my life

[@andypants95]

effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value.toFixed(1)

[@Magrodik]

can you help me how to change the color of just the number and not the dollar sign ?

[@funnykids6785]

1M subscribers are huge and insane, congrats bro! When I watched your channel, it was a 4-60k subscribers channel.

[@howardwaz]

Once again, Justin, great explanation. This would have taken me a week to figure out by myself. THANKS!

[@CarlosPena-zr8uz]

[@edgarl.f.4471]

Cool video bro! It definetely works. But, my decimals remain in 0 when they move up or down, howe can I make them change? annnnd How do you add a coma when you reach 1,000 or more zeros? tyvm

[@vuvideos6483]

Overwrite the number next to the slider with the value

[@CrystalWhitlow]

@@vuvideos6483 Could you explain this a bit more?

[@Paint.Explained]

Thanks Justin, this was simpler than I thought and it worked! :D

[@holx2895]

I am so bad with the codes and expressions and this helped me so much! Thank you!

[@123comful]

Great! In older versions it was very similar by effects / text / numbers.

[@perfectlysedateendscreendance]

this is so obscure but still lifesaving

[@usernamejase]

[@boldizsarracsmany2239]

Thank you! this video helped me with an univers ity assigment!

[@AlexUtreras]

I always come back again and again to this video for my animations. Just one question, how do I do if I want the decimal to have a comma instead of a point? Thank you very much.

[@oliviaroseanna8311]

Thank you so much! So easy to follow and exactly what I needed :)

[@chitahunteronyt]

Great video Justin. Thanks for posting it. Question: How do you add a comma when you want the counter to read 4,823 or 12,340?

[@sabandija119]

Hi I was having the same question and I builded this code by searching and mixing. It worked with the Slider control as well. s = effect("Slider Control")("Slider")[0].toFixed(1)+""; s.replace(/\./g, ","); I hope someone find this helpfull.

[@giovaughnmiller1908]

num = effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value.toFixed(2) function addCommas(x) { return x.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ","); } addCommas(num)

[@ReizoReizo]

@@sabandija119 Thank you!

[@zachafletcher]

This doesn't work...@@sabandija119 When inserting this code onto the expression on the Source Text, it adds a tenth decimal point and replaces the period with a comma.

[@PavelSupanenka]

Thank you! It was very helpful!

[@andrewwray4057]

Can I ask how did you make the numbers in to fixed positions.? Mine keeps on move side to side when it's counting. It seems like it keeps on adjusting depending on the sizes of each numbers. I need it to be static just like on your tutorial. How can I fix it?

[@punchlinemediaeventsltd5219]

Super helpful!! Fantastic tutorial Justin... Thank you!!!

[@Tyler-ko8dp]

the problem I'm having is I wanted it to go 1.1 , 1.2 , 1.3 and so on, but instead it goes 10.1, 10.2 etc. even though I've placed the (1) in brackets

[@auhoangminhduy]

I want to do something like "0000000" and then it starts counting from the right side (ex: 0000245 and goes up), how can I make it? Thank you!

[@CrystalWhitlow]

How can I add a percentage sign to the end?

[@allison1077]

Thanks so much for this video! It was really easy to follow and super helpful :)

[@aloeup2121]

Short, sweet and answered my question. Thanks!

[@ChrisytinaaCoffee]

did you know that you're pretty much the greatest person ever?

[@jaymcvitt1582]

UNREAL 10/10 tutorial

[@AliLumberjack]

Awesome, yet I have a question: is there a way that I can make the dollar sign with different color than the numbers?

[@Aviciiz]

I need my counter to be on €200.000,00. How do I add that extra dot/period after the 200?

[@abushafwa]

i'm waiting this answer

[@robbevandermieden]

@Nogo var num = effect("Slider Control")("Slider")*10 num = Comma(num); [num] function Comma(number) { number = '' + Math.round(number); if (number.length > 3) { var mod = number.length % 3; var output = (mod > 0 ? (number.substring(0,mod)) : ''); for (i=0 ; i < Math.floor(number.length / 3); i++) { if ((mod == 0) && (i == 0)) output += number.substring(mod+ 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3); else output+= ',' + number.substring(mod + 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3); } return (output); } else return number; }

[@otpjoe1]

This is awesome! Very simple, I will use this every day

[@TheReelUnwind]

I set my number to 0 however once it reaches above 20 it only shows 2 and 3… not the actual number. How do I fix this?

[@MadAboutTutorials]

Thankyou so much, amazing and simple tutorial. just one note for future, parenthesis are ( ).

[@TheSilentEvil]

I was looking for more Editing channels and found you! Great video, very useful!

[@iovewhalien2191]

How would you add commas? Like if I wanted the number to be 100,000

[@7milessnake]

Thanks man! Best tut out there about this topic!

[@MaxwellCPAreview]

Very clear and helpful - thank you!

finally a tutorial that doesn't make me kill my computer

[@maneebha]

Thank You

[@thaiskibrit]

best tuto about Animated Number Counter

[@Ross_Garden]

Just what I was looking for. The perfect AE Counter tute :)

[@justjuan_]

MAN YOU SAVED MY LIFE THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[@PulseReview]

Exactly what I was looking for. Great tutorial!

[@damianwilk7876]

Problem with this is when you create stopframes for say 0 and 1 with no numbers after decimal, it'll change from 0 to 1 in between those stopframes (when it reaches 0.6 it rounds to next full number). Which means to control exact timing of number change, you need two stopframes instead of one. Annoying. Anoyne has good solution to that?

[@djxonits]

It definetely works

[@brysoncoles9690]

This is awesome and super helpful. Many thanks! Just subscribed!

[@v2141996]

Thanks for the simple and effective tutorial. Just wondering if we can add text after the number slider such as in a timer where we have seconds after the numbers? Perhaps, I will try myself based on the same logic you have shown. Hope it works.

[@BillyMangino]

This helped, kinda. Still not sure how to make 0-9 have a0 before them (always be two digits even in single digit numbers)

[@orioconcepts]

You're a f#$@in' legend Justin. Thank you. Saved me a few brain cells.

[@Halfsteptheory]

Excellent info, and straight to the point. Thank you.

[@JustinOdisho]

Thanks for watching!

[@MrClassicRobot]

Thanks a lot man. This helped me out a lot on a project! You're awesome!

[@ItsJustMeStevie]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Its been driving crazy trying to figure out how to attach the $ sign especially as numbers change and have it move along w/ dollar amount. Question: is there a way to make the dollar sign smaller??

[@fernandonardone1880]

hi, thanks a lot, but, if you what to do, 3000 to 1000 the numbers move horizontal back and foward, how to fix it? thanks.

[@Wolf_Wingert]

Justin thank you so much

[@pinacolada8309]

Also great tutorial, was looking for something like this.

[@PierceJPeterson]

Are there any free presets out there to download?

[@morganmendieta3738]

Very nice tutorial it works like a charm!

[@BobBobIsSwag]

Legend says Justin doesnt reply to comments

[@Exphiser]

Legends say he already has.

[@jeffs6232]

Great video! One quick question, how would you go about maintaining a center alignment? For instance when you're at 0, it'll be in the center, but then once numbers start coming in it appears more aligned to the right. Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

[@JustinOdisho]

Something to do with the anchor point

[@elzinouxs7884]

THANKS FINALLY I FOUND THE DECIMAL ISSUE

[@mkAYY825]

one problem, the slider doesnt go any higher than 1000,000

[@Provably]

Great tutorial. Is there a specific expression you'd use to increment hours:minutes:seconds (since it's increments of 24:60:60 instead of 100)?

[@JustinOdisho]

I'd have to look into it

[@ravensatodds]

Anything further on this? Exactly what I’m chasing right now. Great tutorial btw 👍🏼
