I've searched so much for this and no one explained the math.round bit in a beginner friendly way, it was driving me crazy. Thank you so much for this! It was a life saver!
So glad it helped! You might also find this one helpful. Instead of using Math.round, this one uses value.toFixed which is quite easy and gives you full control over number of decimals (leave blank if you want rounded numbers). 👍 th-cam.com/video/Jm4wjq_Vsn0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VllAe8Q5-6ojLKLu
I really appreicate that...thanks! You may also find this tutorial helpful as it makes rounding the numbers a little easier and you can control the number of decimal places....using toFixed() instead of mathRound: th-cam.com/video/Jm4wjq_Vsn0/w-d-xo.html
Amazing tutorial! You have a wonderful teaching style. You are very easy to follow and I love how you anticipated every obstacle that popped in my head like the decimals and how to center everything. This was just what I needed. You make such helpful videos and really deserve way more subscribers. Thanks!
Thanks for the clear and consise instruction. I've tried this same method from several other tutorials on YT and there's an issue with it. The starting second is always shorter then the rest. For example if you have a 5 sec countdown, the countdown jumps quickly between 5 and 4 and then the remaining seconds are fine. I'm still looking for a solution. I've spent 8 hours on this today.
The only solution I have found was to set the countdown to 1 second higher. For example, I need a countdown of 5 seconds but instead make it 6 seconds, then export the animation. Then I import the clip into Premiere Pro and CHOP the number 6. Kinda lame but it works. Thanks.
Thanks! Skip the step about adding Math.round and just add the following snippet of code after ("Slider"). The number in parentheses is the number of decimal places. .value.toFixed(2); The expression should look like this if you want 2 decimal places: effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value.toFixed(2); If you want to add a symbol such as Dollar Sign before the number, add " $ " + before the expression "$" + effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value.toFixed(2); To add spaces between currency symbol & number, just add the spaces between the quotes " $ " + effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value.toFixed(2);
There are modifications you can make to the expression, but I do not have a simple solution to provide you. If you search how to add leading zeros with countdown timers, you should be able to find some tutorials to follow along. 👍

@@MikeMurphyCo Is there any video of yours that could use circle animation with timer ?
@@pavankumarp45 Can you provide some more detail of your end goal? What are you wanting to create?

Does this happen on the final rendered/exported video or just when previewing the playback?
Great video, thank you :) Do you know if there's a way to have only two decimals showing instead of removing them all?
Thanks!

The expression should look like this if you want 2 decimal places:

"$" + effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value.toFixed(2);

Love it , thank you for teaching it, it is much more easy with out long and confusing expressions thank you very much. Love your videos 😍
Love your comments! ✌
Te amo Mike! de 800 videos este si funciono! gsus
Awesome! Glad it helped! 👍 💚
Super work 👍👌
Thank you! ☘️
Thank you, is there a way to maintain the double digit countdown when it reaches 9 to 0? EX: 09, 08, 07

@@MikeMurphyCo thank you 4 the tip! I appreciate your work and talent.

This is amazing. Do you know what scripting language AE uses? Is it the C language, because C statements end in semi-colons.
AE uses an extended form of Javascript. Here is a link to the details about the scripting language used in After Effects:
