Sherlock balance effect
Hi everyone,
I recently watched Sherlock season 4 and noticed this cool effect: Sherlock throws a bag and guesses the weight in slow motion. To show this there is a text animated to go from 1 to 1000 and back down again.
I was wondering how you could achieve that in Fusion. Sadly I can’t seem to figure out how to animate the text itself. Would you have to use expressions or Python?I would be happy for suggestions to pull this effect off!

In the Text tool, right-click on the Styled Text box, select Expression and enter the following expression:
Text(iif(time<50, max(1, time*20), max(1, 2000-time*20)))This will count up from 1-1000 over 50 frames and then down from 1000-1 over the next 50 frames.
There are many different ways of doing this depending on what you want to achieve.
You could control it in a different way by simply adding an expression that links the Text to an animated parameter on another tool. So for example, you could animate the Size of a Transform tool (it doesn’t even need to be connected to anything) from 1-1000 and then instead of the above expression in the Styled text field you could use the following:
Text(Xf.Size)(To make that work rename your Transform tool to “Xf”.)
