Seriously, for this project I would stick with AE 6.5. To do this in AE create a Solid. Go to Effects, Text , Numbers. Hit OK so the numbers appear in your comp. Change Decimal Places to 0. Create a key frame for the “Value/Offset/Random Max”. Move the play head 2.5 minutes down the timeline and crank the “Value/Offset/Random Max up to 25250. Create another layer and add the comma yourself when it should appear in the animation. And it will look fantastic, I just did this a month ago.
