Countdown with static character space
Not one for expressions.
But I’m trying to have a count down in Minutes and seconds.
Found a “Effects & Presets” called Clockworks.
Has a lot of control, does all I need. Except, that the numbers shift back and forth a bit. Center or Left or Right justify is no help.
Is there a way to lock em still?
I tried adding Animate, Character offset, adjust kerning. No help.
See sample here:if(effect("Clockworks")("Countdown") == 1){OT = time*-1;}else{OT = time;}
if(effect("Clockworks")("Countdown") == 1){IP = (thisLayer.inPoint*effect("Clockworks")("Speed")/100) ;}else{IP = (thisLayer.inPoint*effect("Clockworks")("Speed")/100)*-1}
Tr = (OT*effect("Clockworks")("Speed")/100) +effect("Clockworks")("Add Hours")*3600 +effect("Clockworks")("Add Minutes")*60 +effect("Clockworks")("Add Seconds") +effect("Clockworks")("Add MilliSeconds")/100 + IP*effect("Clockworks")("Start At Layer");
if(Tr < 0 && effect("Clockworks")("Stop At 0") == 0){T =(Tr*-1)+effect("Clockworks")("Skip sec -0");}else{T=Tr}H = Math.floor(T/3600);
M = Math.floor(T/60);
S = Math.floor(T) ;
MS = Math.floor(T*100);MF = M-H*60;
SF = S-M*60;
MSF = MS-S*100;if(H<10 & effect("Clockworks")("Always 2 Digits") == 1){HZ = "0";}else{HZ = "";}
if(MF<10 & effect("Clockworks")("Always 2 Digits") == 1 || H < 0 & effect("Clockworks")("Always 2 Digits") == 1){MZ = "0";}else{MZ = "";}
if(SF<10 & effect("Clockworks")("Always 2 Digits") == 1 || H < 0 & effect("Clockworks")("Always 2 Digits") == 1){SZ = "0";}else{SZ = "";}
if(MSF<10 & effect("Clockworks")("Always 2 Digits") == 1 || H < 0 & effect("Clockworks")("Always 2 Digits") == 1){MSZ = "0";}else{MSZ = "";}if(Tr<0 & effect("Clockworks")("Countdown") == 1 || Tr>0 & effect("Clockworks")("Countdown") ==0 ){FLT = Math.round(linear(T % 1,0,1));}else{FLT = Math.round(linear((T-.5) % 1,0,1));}
if(effect("Clockworks")("Use '; '") == 1){SPo = "; ";}else{SPo = ":";}
if(effect("Clockworks")("Use '; ' at Milli Sec.") == 1){MsSPo = "; ";}else{MsSPo = ":";}
if(effect("Clockworks")("Use '; '") == 1){SPDs = " ";}else{SPDs = " ";}
if(effect("Clockworks")("Use '; ' at Milli Sec.") == 1){MsSPDs = " ";}else{MsSPDs = " ";}
if(effect("Clockworks")("Flicker (Monospaced)") == 1 && FLT == 0){SP = SPo;}if(effect("Clockworks")("Flicker (Monospaced)") == 1 && FLT == 1){SP = SPDs;}else{SP = SPo;}
if(effect("Clockworks")("Flicker (Monospaced)") == 1 && FLT == 0){MsSP =MsSPo;}if(effect("Clockworks")("Flicker (Monospaced)") == 1 && FLT == 1){MsSP = MsSPDs}else{MsSP = MsSPo;}if(effect("Clockworks")("End With Point") == 1){Pt = ".";}else{Pt = "";}
if(Tr < 0 && effect("Clockworks")("Stop At 0") == 0){NT = "-";}else{NT = "";}if(H < 0){P = 0;}else{P = 1;}
if(effect("Clockworks")("Show Hours") == 1){Hours = HZ + H*P;}else{Hours = "";}
if(effect("Clockworks")("Show Minutes") == 1){Minutes = MZ + MF*P;}else{Minutes = "";}
if(effect("Clockworks")("Show Seconds") == 1){Seconds = SZ + SF*P;}else{Seconds = "";}
if(effect("Clockworks")("Show MilliSeconds") == 1){MilliSeconds = MSZ + MSF*P;}else{MilliSeconds = "";}if(effect("Clockworks")("Show Hours") == 1 & effect("Clockworks")("Show Minutes") + effect("Clockworks")("Show Seconds")>0){HM = SP;}else{HM = "";}
if(effect("Clockworks")("Show Minutes") == 1 & effect("Clockworks")("Show Seconds") == 1){MS = SP;}else{MS = "";}
if(effect("Clockworks")("Show MilliSeconds") == 1 & effect("Clockworks")("Show Hours") + effect("Clockworks")("Show Minutes") + effect("Clockworks")("Show Seconds") > 0){SMS = MsSP;}else{SMS = "";}NT + Hours + HM + Minutes + MS + Seconds + SMS + MilliSeconds + Pt

I think you need to switch to a mono-spaced font. I’m surprised that a 7-sgement font wouldn’t already be set up that way.

Thanks, ended up going back the the numbers effect.
Time Code.
Then sub comp.
Then mask out the hours and the frames.
Leaving just minutes and seconds like we needed.
Right justify’d.Chris Tompkins
