Number Count up

[Dan Ebberts]

A text expression like this should get you started:

beginTime = 0;
endTime = 2;
startVal = 100;
endVal = 1000;

“$” + Math.round(linear(time,beginTime,endTime,startVal,endVal))

Thank you for that! That’s one of those things I struggled through doing manually a year ago….guess I should have posted here!

Works great thanks!
Now let me challenge you!
how do you EASE to the target number?

Hi, I’ve used your count up expression and it works like a charm. Can I add something to change the figures in steps of let’s say 10s or 100s.

Thanks.

This thread is 2 years old now, but I spent the better part of a couple hours looking for an answer, so I thought I’d post what I did here.

In order to ease into the final number, I used the built in feature of AE, Numbers. That way I had access to keyframes, and my usual ways of controlling easing (ie. eaze and wizz)

I also tried using the text effect numbers and here comes the but. I am using sure target to control the camera and I do not know why, but the number effect “do not line up”. In the effect control panel, there is no z value for the position which makes me think the effect does not work with camera (which can not be…).

I have one main comp where I have “sub-comps”, all layers 3D turned on (and continuously Rasterize). Everything else work fine but the text effect numbers. They act as if being regulas 2D layers. Any ideas…?
