  • Round “clock-like” counter – how to ease out between every second?

    Posted by Marcin Staszewski on March 16, 2015 at 1:36 pm

    Hi,
    I usually do all the research myself (I guess I learn more that way), but in this case I just can’t find anything useful to recreate my idea in AE.

    What I already have:
    (Trim Paths “start” and “end” are reversed in my case, thats why expression result is growing – it’s applied to “end” value)

    Basic round stroke, that gets shorter every second
    100*(Math.floor(time))/thisComp.layer("Circle").effect("Duration")("Slider")

    And a follow-up stroke (delayed by 1 sec) behind the first one, that shortens continuously
    100*(time-1)/thisComp.layer("Circle").effect("Duration")("Slider")

    What I would like to get:

    It’s a little hard to describe – I would like that second stroke get shorter not in a linear manner, but easing-out every second after staying “frozen” for about 0.3 sec.
    So like the first one is counting down like a regular clock, and every time it gets shorter, it reveals the other stroke which is kinda “late”, and quickly follows-up after the first one.

    Thanks in advance for your help! 🙂
