  Countdown Expression + Fonts

  Posted by Rupert Greiss on September 19, 2009 at 10:16 pm

  Hello All,

  Longtime-lurker, just joined and this is my first post, as I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere.

  So I’ve got my countdown working, much thanks to the following thread for giving me a much easier way of getting it done ::
  https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/227/10693

  My question is, is there a way in After Effects to use a non-fixed-width font with the above countdown expression – yet have it so the numbers don’t jump around as the time changes?
  In other words, is there a way for after effects to treat a specific fonts as fixed-width even though they aren’t actually fixed-width, in order to use in my countdown?

  Thank you to all who respond.

  Cheers
  -RG

  I don’t like to take away from the Creative Cow site, but I have some rough tutorials at aetutorials.net that I will be moving to The Cow soon.

  This is for working out a countdown with non-fixed with fonts.
