New Ae Tutorial: How to create a Counter or Countdown in After Effects with Expressions

[Mathias Moehl]

Learn how to create counters in Adobe After Effects with expressions. We use the Counter Numbers iExpression which is easy to use and allows very flexible formatting. Control the number of decimal places, leading zeros and choose if you want a dot or comma as separator symbol, for example. It also supports a customizable text before and after the number, such that you can add a dollar sign for money counters, or a percentage, for example.
