  Countdown Timer

  Posted by Loudworld on February 9, 2007 at 7:47 am

  Hello AE WunderGawds!

  I am trying to make a 30 minute timer that counts down from 30:00 to 00:00 in time accurate 1 second intervals. The current exp I am using is;

  totalMinutes = 30;//Total time in minutes
  beginVal = 3000;
  endVal = 0000;
  //————————————–
  fps = 1 / thisComp.frameDuration;
  secs = 20 * (fps*2);

  Math.floor(linear(time, 0, secs, beginVal, endVal + 1))

  (I pulled this code off of the Cow, but do not know how to modify it for my purpose)

  It sorta works but it counts every number, not just the 59 – 00. I am quite new to expressions and I am hoping someone can alter this script or provide me with a ready made expression to accomplish this. I certainly do not wish to keyframe it.

  Your help is most appreciated.

  mins=Math.floor(time/60);
  secs=Math.floor(time%60);

  [mins+”:”+secs]
