Recreating The (500) Days of Summer Day Slate Counter
Hello, everyone. My I’m wondering if anyone here knows or has a way of recreating the day counter from (500) Days of Summer in Final Cut or Motion.

Assuming you have Motion 4, you could do this quite easily with the Numbers generator.

I do have Motion 4. Where would I find the numbers generator? I looked before and didn’t find much. (Then again, I looked back when I wasn’t sure what I was looking for. I was just looking for something that seemed it might work.)

How does one stop the number from incrementing once you’ve reached your target number?
The only solution I’ve found is to fake it by creating a separate instance of the arrival #.
