Count from 0 to 1 Million dollars

[Xavier Gomez]

“$” + effect(“Count”)(“Slider”).value.toFixed(0).replace(/\d{1,3}(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g , “$&,”);

That’s without tabbing (as in your post).
Edit: for more decimals, replace toFixed(0) by toFixed(2) (for instance).

I should have mentioned, I’m not that experienced with the “expression” part of AE, where should I put this?

[Xavier Gomez]

First, add a slider control to your text layer (in the effect panel) and rename it “Count” (to match the name i used in the expression);

Next, alt+click the stopwatch of the source text property of the text. A text field appears for the expression: paste the expression there.

You have to animate the slider or the text will stick to $0.
