Thanks Dan. It is the same thing I tried when I deleted the last line of the Money Counter you helped me with a while back. The problem is the comma after the 1000s position (ie. 7000 vs 7,000) is gone.
How do you add a comma to the equation…And could you give me a laymans explanation of what the expression is telling AE to do?

startValue = 7000;
endValue = 13000;
dur = 30; //seconds

Math.round(linear(time,0,dur,startValue,endValue));
Thanks!
Tom

Thanks Millenium, but no go. I copied and pasted the expression to the text property and it starts
counting at 0 and ends at 994.00000000 with lots of places following after the decimal.
Dans expression for the money counter is this…

This is an expression for the source text of a text layer that should do the trick. Use a monospaced font or set kerning to 0:

startValue = 64122205;
endValue = 85302264;
dur = 30; //seconds

s = “” + Math.round(linear(time,0,dur,startValue,endValue));
“$” + s.substr(0,2) + “,” + s.substr(2,3) + “,” + s.substr(5,3)

Im sure you are..sorry for the impatience, but isnt it nice to know that folks are lining up waiting to purchase your stuff…..

Nice fabrications Dean! I recently subscribed as well. I really enjoy going thru a tutorial, then altering the concept just enough to make it different and doing my own interpretation of the process. A wonderful way to learn what he does than make it my own while learning new techniques.

Its been dealyed (according to the owner) until the end of July at least.

Trapcodes Particular and soon to be AE plug in – Particle Illusion are the most realistic.Particular goes one better by being real 3D, if you need that feature.

Thanks Aharon. I was hoping there was a quicker method, but I like the organization and process of your approach!
