    Being that it’s hard to explain, I’ll just post a video with it in it. Only one I can think of right now, but you can just skip ahead to 2:18 in the video:

    I’m trying to figure out how to add an animation to text so that it counts up but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do it just short of creating hundreds of text layers in the same location and changing the number in each layer. Wasn’t sure if there is an easier way.

    Hi there. Look for the number effect. With a few keyframes you can achieve what you[re looking for.

    Hope it helps.

    Cheers!

    There are quite a few tutorials and other resources out there, just search google for “after effects countdown timer” or something similar.
