  Slider Controls number count down

  Posted by Kevin Welchman on March 1, 2015 at 10:07 pm

  Hey

  So I have a series of photos that flash one after the other. I have about 40 pics, Ive lined the layers up one after the other so as one disapears, the next layer appears. I need a number to flash that counts the layers as they appear.
  I attached a text layer to a slider control. I put a keyframe of “1” at the beginning of layer one and “40” where layer 40 appears.

  Howeverm they dont line up exactly. Is there a way to program a time duration into the slider controls? I need the numbers to appear at the same time as the layers.

  You could add hold keyframes for each of the values on the slider control and position them manually. As there are only 40 photos, this will be pretty fast.

  This could be automated with an expression, but that would probably take you more time than just setting the keyframes, and we’d need to know more about how you have your project set up.
