5 Minute Countdown

[Dan Ebberts]

Try this:

rate = -1;
clockStart = 300;

clockTime = Math.max(clockStart + rate*(time – inPoint),0);

Math.ceil(clockTime)

This is great. Thanks for doing this.

I am curious if there is a way to change the font type of the numbers using this method.

[Dan Ebberts]

No, expression don’t have access to font info.

This is exactly what I need but unfortunatelly when I paste it in expressions place it said that there is a mistake on line 6 and the expression is disabled

[Dan Ebberts]

Which property did you paste it into, and what was the exact error message?

hi,

I tried using this code but it seems its limited to an hour. i am trying to do a 2 hour countdown. is there something else i need to change besides the seconds?

There’s a lot of code in this thread. To which are you refering?

this one

rate = -1;
clockStart = 300;

function padZero(n){
if (n < 10) return "0" + n else return "" + n
}

clockTime = Math.max(clockStart + rate*(time - inPoint),0);

t = Math.floor(clockTime);
min = Math.floor((t%3600)/60);
sec = Math.floor(t%60);
min + ":" + padZero(sec)

Play around with this one:

rate = -1;
clockStart = 7200;

function padZero(n){
if (n < 10) return "0" + n else return "" + n } clockTime = Math.max(clockStart + rate*(time - inPoint),0); t = Math.ceil(clockTime); hr = Math.floor(t/3600); min = Math.floor((t%3600)/60); sec = Math.floor(t%60); padZero(hr) + ":" + padZero(min) + ":" + padZero(sec) Dan

I’m having the same issue with an error on line six. Did anyone ever find out what the problem was?
