Couple of options. You can render out to or compress with Media Encoder and in the Export Settings under the Effects tab there is a Timecode Overlay toggle. Or you could create a text layer and add the expression to the Source Text.
timeToFrames()

I wasn’t escaping it properly…
“\\r” works.

Extrusions wont work if your 3d Render Engine is set to Classic. Double check that your new comp is set to Cinema 4d. Ctrl + K to open Composition Settings and then under the 3D Renderer tab. If this doesn’t fix it I am not sure what is going on.

I have also utilized a gradient for this type of animation. You can use sampleImage to look for the change from white to black and connect that to any transform property, scale, position, rotation, etc. Then all you have to do is animate a gradient moving.

It looks like your slider is using a comma as a decimal point. The text data index is expecting 2 values but since there is a comma it is interpreting that as 3 values and breaking. Try replacing the comma on your slider using a .replace(‘,’ , ‘.’) function. Should be able to pick whip the slider on itself and add that to the end. This is just a theory since how you have it set up should work.

Are you trying to bring in your stroke and fill as different layers?
-
When making your shape in Illustrator do you have the stroke set to outside aligned? Illustrator to AE strokes will only come in as a stroke if you keep your stroke set to center aligned.

Hopefully this helps demonstrate it. You can move the shape layer wherever you want and it will sample the pixels corresponding to the “target”.

This is how sampleImage works. http://www.motionscript.com/design-guide/sample-image.html
Apply the sampleImage expression to the color of your shape. It will use the position, or where your anchor point is, to determine the pixels to sample.

You could link the text to a slider and animate the slider. Put a rounder on the text expression and use the graph editor to control how quickly the number counts up.
