Here's how to count up numbers in After Effects. If you're looking to animate numbers, say from 0-100%, then learn how to use an expression to easily animate everything. On top of counting up your number, you'll see how to easily add a prefix and a suffix. This way you'll be able to add a '$' symbol or a '%' to your number. Lastly, we're going to attach layers and objects to the count up effect. Count up your text in After Effects!
Here is the full expression without a Prefix or Suffix:
Math.round(effect("Slider Control")("Slider"));
Here is the full expression with a Prefix:
"$" + Math.round(effect("Slider Control")("Slider"));
Here is the full expression with a Suffix:
Math.round(effect("Slider Control")("Slider")) + "%";
Here's the breakdown from the Tutorial:
1. Type out your text.
2. Go to Effect - Expression Controls - Slider Control
3. Open your text layer and navigate to source text.
4. Alt-Click the stop watch and parent it to the Slider Control.
5. Animate the Slider Control up to any number you want.
6. Add the Math.round code to your expressions to remove the decimals.
7. Add a suffix or a prefix with "$" +
8. Parent any shape or object to the slider control to animate it with your number.
So no matter the After Effects project, you'll be able to count up your titles without effort!
