…Allthough if i was doing this myself for a project I would use sliders as mentioned above….allthough if you don’t know what sliders are it would prbably be faster to just paste in the expression i wrote.

Create a new text layer. Add the following expression to source text. Adjust the variables to do whatever you need.

//begin code

startTime = 0; //seconds
endTime = 5; //seconds
beginCount = 0;
endCount = 2000;
hasCommas = true;
//–dont modify below here—————-
function addCommas ( s ){
if( s.length <= 3 ) return s; else return s.substring(0 , 3) + "," + addCommas(s.substring(3, s.length)); } function reverse( s ){ newStr = ""; for(i = s.length-1; i >= 0; i–)
newStr += s.charAt(i)
return newStr;
}

val = Math.round (linear(time, startTime, endTime, beginCount, endCount) );
if( hasCommas )
reverse (addCommas(reverse( val + “” )))
else
val

//end code

Your right Aharon….since Blending modes are the last thing applied when you render (masks, effects, transforms, blend modes) no precomp necessary.

There are many ways to make the black part of the fractal noise transparent, but I would say the easiest woul be to pre-comp it, and apply the “screen” transfer mode to the precomp.

Also might want to include:
-How do I create 3d extruded text?
-How can I create a 3d ball/globe/sphere/apple etc.

Here are a few more you might want to add:

1.) How do I get that organic growing vines look you see all the time?
(Then link to Jayse’s growing vines tutorial.)
2.) How do wiggle expressions work/how do you tie one to a slider?
3.) How do you loop a footage item?
4.) Why won’t AE see all my RAM?
(Then link to Steve form Gridiron’s post about how RAM is handled in AE)
