for anyone having a problem with "Effect named 'Speed Animation' is missing or does not exist." , you need to change your effect or layer name the exact same like in the code
Verified this works. Had to go back a few times to get everything right. My version didn't have the script drop-down, so I right-clicked on the watch icon and it had an option to edit script (I'm rendering so can't check what the exact wording was)
Hey man quick question. I have everything working nicely, but want to know if there is a way to only start the timer after a certian amount of time, say 2 seconds and not at the start of the timeline? I have all my elements animating on, but the timer has already advanced a few seconds. Thanks!
Hi, I just noticed the same thing. I added keyframes to the speed animation slider to have sort of hold freeze frames. So i have it at 0 and then move it to 1 when I want the animation to start. Hope this helps
@@Carlinosbrowns Thanks! That sounds much easier. What I did was ask ChatGPT to change the expression to only start at 2 seconds. All it did was change one value and it worked perfectly. If you change that value you can make the timer start at any time you like. Here is the modified expression. first_char = 3; end_char = 5; s_h = 0; s_m = 0; s_s = 0; hh = Math.abs(thisComp.layer("Settings").effect("Hours")(1)); mm = Math.abs(thisComp.layer("Settings").effect("Minutes")(1)); ss = Math.abs(thisComp.layer("Settings").effect("Seconds")(1)); speed_animation = thisComp.layer("Settings").effect("Speed Animation")(1); reverse = thisComp.layer("Settings").effect("Reverse")(1); total_seconds = reverse == 0 ? (((hh * 3600) + (mm * 60) + ss) - (time - 2) * speed_animation) : (((s_h * 3600) + (s_m * 60) + s_s) + (time - 2) * speed_animation); time_code = timeToTimecode(total_seconds, timecodeBase = 100); full_time = timeToTimecode( Math.ceil(((hh * 3600) + (mm * 60) + ss)) + Math.ceil(((s_h * 3600) + (s_m * 60) + s_s)), timecodeBase = 100 ); // Adjust the time_code and full_time for the 2-second offset if (time < 2) { time_code = "00:00:00:00"; full_time = "00:00:00:00"; } else { time_code = time_code.substring(first_char, end_char); full_time = full_time.substring(first_char, end_char); } if (time_code.substring(0, 1) === '-') { '00'; } else { if (time_code > full_time) { full_time; } else { time_code; } } This modified expression will start at 2 seconds on the timeline and provide the desired output. Keep in mind that if you need to adjust the starting time differently, you can change the 2 in the expressions to your desired starting time in seconds.
Has anyone came across this error on the second timer, that when you press the reverse button it changes the number to zero? I do have my seconds set to 15, but when I click the reverse button, it changes all the values to zero?
I want to do a similar effect to the line timer but with the subtitles so my subtitles start off white then fill in yellow from left to right and will be fully yellow when the video ends. Any ideas?
I'm getting an error in the expression. "Effect named 'Speed Animation' is missing or does not exist." Can you give some insight on this? Using AE v 23.3.0 build 5.3

@sonduckFilm - Every single "timer video" TH-camr does the same thing . . . create the timer. none of the people making timer videos tell you how to make the timer work once you compile the project file into a video. A 1 hour video is great, except if you have a 2 minute compostion . . .then what ?

Thank you! The countdown was slick and smooth, like butter!!
you are absolutely legend
How do you increase the hours number past 20? And add days?
I got an error on expression. However, the below code worked for me.
first_char = 0;
end_char = 2;
s_h = 0;
s_m = 0;
s_s = 0;
hh = Math.abs(thisComp.layer("Settings").effect("Hours")(1));
mm = Math.abs(thisComp.layer("Settings").effect("Minutes")(1));
ss = Math.abs(thisComp.layer("Settings").effect("Seconds")(1));
speed_animation = thisComp.layer("Settings").effect("Speed Animation")(1);
total_seconds = thisComp.layer("Settings").effect("Reverse")(1) == 0 ? (((hh*3600) + (mm*60) + ss) - time * speed_animation) : (((s_h*3600) + (s_m*60) + s_s) + time * speed_animation);
time_code = timeToTimecode(total_seconds, timecodeBase = 100);
full_time = timeToTimecode(Math.ceil(((hh*3600) + (mm*60) + ss)) + Math.ceil(((s_h*3600) + (s_m*60) + s_s)), timecodeBase = 100);
time_code.substring(first_char, end_char);
if (time_code.substring(0, 1) == '-') {
'00'
} else {
if (time_code > full_time) {
full_time.substring(first_char, end_char);
} else {
time_code.substring(first_char, end_char);
}
}
Worked perfectly, thanks.
Ho My God great Vidéo tanks alot this save my time for my everiday pie chart création in broadcast tv tanks ❤
This video was so helpful for me...
thank you so much...
Very helpful, thanks a lot..

Ehy what about the Countdown with Day - Hours : Minutes : Seconds that is visible in this video, is there any tutorial?
damn, way more in-depth than I thought! saving this one
error on the expression. not working
Good Morning
Morning!
how you shake that background behind timmer i want to learn that
i like it, if you make any video related to that please share me the video link
I have a question.
Is there a way to make it count in minutes, seconds, and 24fps??
If I want to add 2 decimal places to the counter, how would I update the expression?
thank you!!!
Hello! How to make the countdown to start at specific point of timeline?

If you change that value you can make the timer start at any time you like.
Here is the modified expression.
first_char = 3;

s_s = 0;
hh = Math.abs(thisComp.layer("Settings").effect("Hours")(1));

ss = Math.abs(thisComp.layer("Settings").effect("Seconds")(1));
speed_animation = thisComp.layer("Settings").effect("Speed Animation")(1);
reverse = thisComp.layer("Settings").effect("Reverse")(1);
total_seconds = reverse == 0
? (((hh * 3600) + (mm * 60) + ss) - (time - 2) * speed_animation)
: (((s_h * 3600) + (s_m * 60) + s_s) + (time - 2) * speed_animation);
time_code = timeToTimecode(total_seconds, timecodeBase = 100);
full_time = timeToTimecode(
Math.ceil(((hh * 3600) + (mm * 60) + ss)) + Math.ceil(((s_h * 3600) + (s_m * 60) + s_s)),
timecodeBase = 100
);
// Adjust the time_code and full_time for the 2-second offset
if (time < 2) {
time_code = "00:00:00:00";
full_time = "00:00:00:00";
} else {
time_code = time_code.substring(first_char, end_char);
full_time = full_time.substring(first_char, end_char);
}
if (time_code.substring(0, 1) === '-') {
'00';
} else {
if (time_code > full_time) {
full_time;
} else {
time_code;
}
}
This modified expression will start at 2 seconds on the timeline and provide the desired output. Keep in mind that if you need to adjust the starting time differently, you can change the 2 in the expressions to your desired starting time in seconds.

just rename it exactly like this ''Speed Animation ''

i'm sorry, please, help me code text - sound... thanks
Why is it saying error in the expression
I copied the 1st expression and past it ws you said
why only 19 hours? not 10 not 99, but nineteen!..
damn i don"t understand with these codes
"all you have to do is to copy this complex piece of code"
Yeah, that's exactly the best way to learn something. Thumbs down. Booh.
But I'm getting error in expression bro
Error
very superficial lesson
inefficient
I can't figure a way to make it three digits, I need to input 336 in hours
