  is there better numbers plugin

  Posted by David Lynch on October 2, 2005 at 7:56 pm

  Hi all,

  I have to add constantly updating information to the bottom of the screen for a bicycle race. The info I need to display include a clock counting down, miles per hour, and distance. I have searched other posts and found that the clock can be done with expressions. the problem I am having is with the mph. If I use the numbers plugin in AE, it changes position based on the width and spacing of the numbers, or if I turn off “proportional spacing” I have to track out the text a ridiculous amount so that the numbers don’t overlap. So I either end up with numbers that are bouncing around the screen or less then elegant number spacing.

  Is there another plugin from a different company that would make this easier?

  Thank you,

  -david
