Clock counter that starts with ’00’ instead of just ‘0’
Hi I’ve got a standard script that makes my text increase from 0 to 50 over 4 seconds….I’m trying to get it to count like this 00,01,02,03…instead of 1,2,3…..any ideas?
startT = 0;
endT = 4;
beginVal = 0;
endVal = 100;
t = linear(time,startT,endT,beginVal,endVal);
t.toFixed(0) -

Can’t say much about the Expression but I have a trick to work around using Numbers Effect.
See the example:
Increase_value_100.zipIf this isn’t suitable, You would get an appropriate answer at Adobe After Effects Expressions Forum.

Add this to your script; (i’m assuming this is on a text source property)
s=””+t;
while (s.length < 2) s=’0’+s;Declan Smith

Hi Vishesh – I can’t open your file as I’m still using CS5 I’m afraid.
Declan – thanks for the help – that change works initially for 00 but after that my counter starts using decimal places so it makes the change void. Is there anyway to get it not to use decimals (so it only goes up in 1’s) ?

Yep.
s=””+Math.floor(t);
while (s.length < 2) s=’0’+s;Math.floor(t) will produce the lowest whole integer,
Math.ceil(t) will produce the highest whole integer.Hope this helps
