    Hello. Can someone please help me. I want to have a count that counts up to 950000. The numbers effect has a maximum of 30000. Why does this have to be so hard! I would very much appreciate an easy way to do this. Thanks. -Erik

    Are the numbers counting up really fast? I’m just wondering if you couldn’t use the numbers effect on two different layers, partially masking one layer and then moving it to the right so it looks like its one layer with a higher number count.

    what about using a little expression?

    text.Sourcetext=time*1000

    this will increment the number on screen with 40 per frame, thus take 950 frames to get to 950000

    just add a zero at the end at a time if you need it to count faster

    Will this work for you?

    Oh I forgot to mention , the formula is as follows:

    [TOTAL] (950 000) / [MULTIFICATION FACTOR] = [LENGTH OF ANIMATION IN FRAMES]

    [INCREMENTS DISPLAYED PER FRAME] = [MULTIFICATION FACTOR] / [FRAME RATE]

    if this will help
