I used a slightly different approach a few years ago when I needed to make = a 60 minute countdown. =A0The challenge I had was that each individual numb= er was a complex, looping animation.

I ended up making looping precomps for each number - so I had 10 looping pr= ecomps (for each number 0 - 9). =A0I then sequenced these precomps so I had= a single, 10 second pre comp that contained all numbers. =A0Then I could u= se 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 numb= er.

I used an expression to drive the 6 precomps with a single overall time val= ue, but you could easily set it up with manual keyframes and just copy / pa= st 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.<= br>

Don't know why I am struggling with this. =A0I'm editing an eco-cha= llenge video, client wants to put up a 24hr clock from time to time to let = viewers know the duration of race. =A0 I have scoured the AE lists and gett= ing a few very dated tutorials but none really working. =A0Is there a moder= n, easy way to do HH:MM:SS =A0moving in realtime???
