| I used a slightly different approach a few years ago when I needed to make a 60 minute countdown. The challenge I had was that each individual number was a complex, looping animation. I ended up making looping precomps for each number - so I had 10 looping precomps (for each number 0 - 9). I then sequenced these precomps so I had a single, 10 second pre comp that contained all numbers. Then I could use this pre comp for each number in the main comp (6 times if you have a HH:MM:SS format) with a time-remapping expression to display the correct number. I used an expression to drive the 6 precomps with a single overall time value, but you could easily set it up with manual keyframes and just copy / past them. Probably sounds more complex that it really was, but I thought people might be interested in a solution for more complex situations where the numbers themselves have to animate and not just be created by the timecode plugin. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Lou Wirth [mailto:loutv@mindspring.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 08:54 AM To: 'After Effects Mail List' Subject: [AE] digital clock Don't know why I am struggling with this. I'm editing an eco-challenge video, client wants to put up a 24hr clock from time to time to let viewers know the duration of race. I have scoured the AE lists and getting a few very dated tutorials but none really working. Is there a modern, easy way to do HH:MM:SS moving in realtime??? thanks Lou Lou Wirth Productions 500Tamal Plaza, Suite 522 Corte Madera, CA 94925 www.louwirth.com 415-924-9411p +---End of message---+ To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> |
