How To Create A Counting Effect in After Effects

[@lukacrvenkovic6395]

Thank you very much for the tutorial. Here is code for the comma for those who need it: num = effect("Slider Control")(1).value.toFixed(0); function addCommas(x) { return x.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ","); } addCommas(num)

[@TaufikLukman]

thanks Man!

[@juliodelgado9954]

Thank you!

[@gregv2821]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

[@aapkaaghar]

Thank you for the code. The $ sign might disappear after entering this code, so here’s the updated version of it: num = effect("Slider Control") (1).value.toFixed(0); function addCommas(x) { return x.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?! \(d))/g, ","); } "$"+addCommas(num)

My boy Jordy has one of the best tuts in this community. More power brother! We appreciate you always.

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

That really means a lot Nick! Thank you so much! 😄🙏 so many more to come as well!

[@Wieringenn]

In After Effects, to ensure that numbers always display with two digits, with a leading zero when the number is less than 10, you can use this expression on the Source Text property: // Get the value from your slider control var num = Math.round(effect("Slider Control")("Slider")); // Check if the number is less than 10 and add a leading zero if necessary num = num < 10 ? '0' + num : num; // Output the number as a string num.toString(); Thank me later!

[@phn2017]

it's help me a alot, thank you!

[@pragmaticcreator]

[@VentaBlackStudios]

Amazing, you've helped countless animators including my self.

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

I'm so happy to hear! 😄🙏 That just made my day!

[@John-sp9if]

I was just thinking why it can't have a drag and drop preset. Thank you so much for helping the small editors by making the preset free. This preset is a must have.

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Thanks John! So glad you liked it! 😄🙏

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Happy to hear that! 😄 So glad I could help out!

[@thisischaniece]

Helpful, but how do I add a 0 in front of the single digit numbers so when they transition to double digit (11,12) it doesn't shift over to the right? I'm trying to keep it inside of a circle and it looks odd.

[@luke_nukem]

Awesome. Every other video on this effect on KZbin kept giving me expression errors. This is the only expression that works! Thanks!

what is the name of the font you have used at 0:16 seconds.

[@harrysmith6131]

I like the effect of your headshot video bubble. Is that a plugin?

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Ooh, no it's not but that's a great idea 😄 I should make one

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

I thought that was cool also. Perfect to see the speaker just at the moment I was contemplating what was said. Cool editing!

[@calvinsempel1292]

Thanks for the tutorial. It's really helpful. How do I make the $ sign smaller than the figures that are changing?

[@joed180]

I love how this is 4 minutes of how to do it without the presets, even though this is the video tutorial link that comes with the presents.

Knowledge is power 😄 And knowledge plus free stuff is even better IMO

What's the code I need if I only want it to count by hundreds? I'm counting from 500-6200 and dont want it to count every single number, only every 100.

[@botie38]

Hey thanks for this ! Needed it

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Awesome! Happy to help!

[@techskillsonline2596]

Great job!! But Adding "+" as a prefix did'nt work, Any fix to that??

[@thaaer_shaabo3130]

same for me, it seem to be the lastest update of ae2024 didn't support it, i try it before on 2022 it work just fine.

[@uxdeya7660]

happens to have the same problem trying to edit the expression in the source text not the slider editor

[@Shams_Rumi]

thank you so much! was confusing before

[@nickjames5602]

Thanks so much for this fantastic, fast, and easy to understand tutorial. The only problem with the "slider control" effect is that it can only count up to 1 million. I understand you need to use the "point control" effect for that. But when I apply that same code to "point control" it doesn't work. How would I use your method to count up to 1 billion for example?

[@CappsProductions]

Here is the ending of a youtube video link. This video explains how to do over 1 million: v=Nguzk2Fb2vo

[@yogawithmags]

Could you please tell me what formula to use so it starts the count from 1 instead of 0? Thanks a lot! Great video

[@saqlainahmed7172]

You're awesome brother, I love you

how will i add the symble in the front of the numbers

[@bhuwanbansal]

Can you also point to the sound effect for counting up

[@daniilknigin8713]

hey, great tutorial! Can you somehow align the counter to the left or right, so it doesn't jitter while counting? (it moves horizontally depending on the glyph width) It's kinda distracting now

I have problem of changing the font of those numbers. Some special font does not work. It always became the same font. Really appreciate if you can help.

[@usus8420]

I discover I use I validate however when I place a character after the number it moves according to the format of the number it's very unpleasant

[@caleb.justice]

Is there a way to add an effect when the numbers change? Like a slide-down/fade-out? Or just a fade in and out? Thanks!

[@hunteer8875]

can you do this on i movie? if not can you make a video on a free video editor tool like i movie. Thanks

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

We don't really work with iMovie, to be honest 🤐

[@hunteer8875]

@@MotionArrayTutorials a free editing tool that can do this animation. i'm only interested in the counting animation

[@jossedore]

any idea on how to remove decimals and add commas at the same time?

[@eduardop123]

Nice tutorial! I have two questions: 1. I want the Numbers to go down instead, How do I do that? 2. I want another starting and end points, eg. from 1500 down to 500. How do I change that?

[@akula_zko]

just keyframe that. at the beggining set 1500 and at the second keyfrae set 500. thats it! the same for 1st question

[@ValerioLauri1984]

is there any chance to slow down the countdown toward the end? cheers

[@MikaStaines]

Amazing thank you

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

No problem 😊

[@The_real_angle]

Reason why i love KZbin :redheart:

[@mickeygamer7468]

Can I make this counting-up animation on a DDR4 with 8 GB of RAM?

[@EricSwain79]

love this, used the same function to count down but had to keyframe each number as the expression would add a "-" in negative space. Is there an expression to remove the "-" when counting down?

[@simplemusic3311]

what if i want to add 3 zero, so start not from 0 but 000 and then 001,002,etc?

[@Kareemnoel]

Can the preset be used in premier pro ?

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Sadly no 😢 unless you dynamically linked it from Ae

[@rahul.rai.]

How to put space between the symbol and the number??

Does anyone know how to create an expression for a YEAR countdown? Ex. 2024-1968, continuously speeding up and then slowing down to land at 1968. I know this detailed, but I'm needing a slick animated comp.

[@alimoursi5454]

thnx but I have a question if I need to use word ad suffix but I need the suffix to be in the second line like that : 140000 customer can I do it ?
