  • increasing numbers in text

    Posted by Reanimator1 on October 28, 2005 at 5:52 pm

    I’m trying to have numbers increase infinitely starting at 1.6 million. I tried using the numbers effect but the max amount that it can go is 30.000 and there is an expression preset for frame numbers but I don’t know how to modify the expression to start at a higher number because obviosly I can’t go 1.6 million frames in the comp. Can anyone help?

    Thanks,

    Sean

    Well, I don’t know about infinitely, but you can use a text layer with an expression to count up to 999999999999999.

    Here’s an example that counts from 1600000 to 999999999999999 over 4 seconds:

    startCount = 1600000;
    endCount = 999999999999999;
    countDur = 4;
    Math.round(linear(time,0,countDur,startCount,endCount))
