I work for a semi-pro football team, and we have a couple of stock games that I would like to add a more functional scoreboard overlay to. We already have a half-done scoreboard overlay that we use. We create images in photoshop for our game, then use the text editor in manycam to type in the score and what quarter it is, but we have to use spaces to line them up right, and it just looks bad. I would like to create something similar to that, but use aftereffects to line everything up centered, plus have a clock count-down on it.

As of right now, I am using the run scripts option on the file menu. I’m relatively new to after effects, but I’ve been using vegas pro for a couple of years now.

Any assistance or tips you can throw my way would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Greetings!

I’m trying to incorporate your countdown script into a football overlay scoreboard, however, I’m getting an error when I try to run your script:

thisComp is undefined

This error occurs on line 19:
c = thisComp.layer("Period 1").effect("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox"); // checkbox

I have tried to copy and paste it again, but I keep getting the same error. Any suggestions?
