Incremental Countdown (not just another countdown question!)

Very elegant Lloyd. I have to learn to read better. 🙂

Thank you so much Dan for writing so clearly. I was recently tasked to create an incremental countdown (actually mine counted up) and your answers on this old forum was a lifesaver. However I would also like to add a little bit of smoothness to how the numbers change from one to another. The default of course is that the numbers disappear and appear without any fading.

Is there an expression that I can add that makes the numbers fade out and fade in similiar to the the “smoothness” parameter in the “range selector” modifier of text layers?
