Text Expression Problem in After Effects CC 2019

[tudora15882744]

Ok, so I have a problem in After Effects CC 2019. I've just installed that.

Basically, I want to make a counter, that also put commas after each 1k. (1,000,000 not 1000000)

I followed this tutorial Technique for Animated Number Countdown with Commas : Adobe After Effects  but in my case, it's not "compiling" or I don't know what the code, because it shows it to me as a text...

Anything to do? Please! Thanks in advance!

Does the function in your expression come after the line that returns the value to the property?

That is not allowed in the new JavaScript expression engine in the October 2018 release of After Effects CC (version 16.0). You can work around this one of two ways:

- In Project Settings > Expressions, use the Legacy ExtendScript engine.

- Define the function earlier in the expression. Make sure that the last line of the expression is the line that returns the value.
