Slider Effect cannot go over 1 million

Question

as the title suggest Slider Effect cannot go over 1 million. this is very annoying and hard to understand in 2019. (also unbelievably number effect cannot go over 30.000)

i am tring do animate a youtube view counter that goes over 1 million.

using this expression on a empty text layer

n = 0+effect("Slider Control")("Slider"); < THIS IS THE SLIDER CONTROL

s = "" + n;

str = s.substr(-s.length, (s.length-1)%3 +1);

for (i = Math.floor((s.length-1)/3); i > 0; i--){

str += "," + s.substr(-i*3,3);

}

str

Any work around? or alternative tecniques?

Google Dan Ebbert’s universal timer. Second option, don’t try to do everything on one layer. Try using three text layers, one for the commas, one for the first thousand, the third for the millions. Unless you’re actually counting teal and have more than about 6 million frames, there’s no way in the world anyone will be able to tell your counter doesn’t show every digit.

Another option, if you want to count to 1,000,000 over 10 seconds just calculate on multiplier for your slider or just use time.

10 seconds = 300 frames, 1,000,000 / 300 = 333.3

So just multiply the result of your expression by 333 and animate the slider from 0 to 3333.3 over 10 seconds.

I use the Point Control effect and add this expression to the Source Text:

s = "" + Math.round(effect("Point Control")("Point")[0]);
s.replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",");

Works for me and is simpler than multiplying the slider value.
