hour:minute:second counter in AE
Hello
I want to animate a counter that reads like this 00:00:00 which is hours:minutes:secondsSo far the only way I know how to animate numbers is the NUMBERS effect. Still I have no idea how to animate my whole thing with it.
As in: If seconds is 69 the MINUTE counter needs to jump to 01 and the second counter must jump to 09.
How do I do this?
Also I just want to enter one value on one key into my counter say “00:05:30” and then I want AE to animate from say “00:00:00” to “00:05:30”.
Any idea?
Thanks a million -

If you set the type in the drop down menu to time doesn’t that do what you want?

i get my 01:09 but i dont know how to get it with hours as well so it’s 00:01:09. even if i change the ammount of digits. otherwise its working great. i just need that for hours

Could you put the hours on a different layer and animate that separately? More hassle I know than doing it on one layer but it should work.

yeh i guess
i mean TIME works great but its a shame its only MINUTES:SECONDS
no way to link that to hours? -
Yeah you could use an expression to link them I suppose. Pick whip the hour to the minutes and divide by 60 (/60) I think.

thanks a lot for your help!
“Pick whip the hour to the minutes and divide by 60 (/60) I think. ”
how exactly does this go? ive never used expressions -
Haha this is so obvious. I can’t believe I didn’t think of this myself. Thanks a million for this great help! 🙂

This sadly doesn’t work as nicely as I hoped it would. If I pick TIME CODE it will run automatically by itself from the start and I can’t tell it “BE 00:00:00:00” at any point in time. Sure I seem to be able to animate it with Value/Offset… but I am not able to set it to zero at any point.
