Ahhh I was just missing the hexToRgb expression, popped that in at it works a treat! Thanks for your help!

Hi Dan, thanks for your suggestion. That’s not quite what I need though – I’ve just tried it out and it’s counting up in 3’s, I need it to increment by 1.

Basically what I need is a counter that counts up from 1 – 30, with each number having an exact 3 keyframe duration. I think my issue with using a slider is I end up dealing with floating point precision, which makes the distribution of keyframes slightly uneven.

I’ve achieved it manually by using toggle hold keyframes on the slider property, ie 0:00:00:00 → Slider = 1, 0:00:00:03 → Slider = 2, 0:00:00:03 → Slider = 3 etc.

Does that make sense? Let me know if there’s any other salient points I’ve missed!

If it helps, this is how I’ve managed to get it working with keyframes… there must be a way to automate this though!

Hi Dan, thank you so much – problem solved! Funnily enough my developer friend had suggested this to me earlier, but I must have made some other error whilst I was trying it out the first time as it didn’t work.

Thanks again!
