In this After Effects motion graphic tutorial we are going to be taking a look at how to make an animated number counter / TH-cam view counter with a comma. This technique was learned through Creative Cow and uses After Effects CC scripts to accomplish a number counter with Slider Control.

Adobe After Effects 2017 (AE 2017) is a digital visual effects, motion graphics, and compositing application developed by Adobe Systems and used in the post-production process of film making and television production. Among other things, After Effects can be used for keying, tracking, compositing and animation. It also functions as a very basic non-linear editor, audio editor and media transcoder.

We do have an updated version of this video that works in Adobe After Effects 2020 release:

Skip to @3:30 in this video to get into the tutorial!
If you are getting the same expression on screen instead of the number, here's the fix as of March 2020:
var num = effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
num = Comma(num);
function Comma(number)
{
number = '' + Math.round(number);
if (number.length > 3)
{
var mod = number.length % 3;
var output = (mod > 0 ? (number.substring(0,mod)) : '');
for (i=0 ; i < Math.floor(number.length / 3); i++)
{
if ((mod == 0) && (i == 0))
output += number.substring(mod+ 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
else
output+= ',' + number.substring(mod + 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
}
return (output);
}
else return number;
}
[num]
That is exactly what was happening for me. Thank you!
THE ONLY CURE IS YOUR COMMENT! TQVM!
thank you
Hi,
Thank you really helped alot. Cheers! worked on CC 2021
@@veyrongfx1 my pleasure helping everyone out!
Thank you for being so clear and quick to the point! It's so hard to find tutorials where people don't roam on and on about something without getting into the meat of it, Thanks a ton!
Perfect! Slider control on the text was exactly what I needed for a project I'm working on 👊
Tried to figure out for so long how to centre the text and you're the only tutorial who showed that it's to do with adjusting the paragraph settings! Thank you!
Thank you for making this video! I have been looking everywhere on YT and Google for a couple hours to find a tutorial for this function on After Effects. So glad to finally find your video
For whoever might want to use this in CC2020, you will get some syntax errors even with the project set to use legacy code. So use the following to get it to work:
var num = effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
numOut = Comma(num);
[numOut];
function Comma(number)
{
number = "" + Math.round(number);
if (number.length > 3)
{
var mod = number.length % 3;
var output = (mod > 0 ? (number.substring(0,mod)) : "");
for (i=0 ; i < Math.floor(number.length / 3); i++)
{
if ((mod == 0) && (i == 0))
output += number.substring(mod+ 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
else
output+= "," + number.substring(mod + 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
}
return (output);
}
else return number;
}
Thank you!! 🙌🏼
very good
Thank you so much!
please where do i add the expression? it messes up everything when i paste it into the expression column
Great tutorial, I definitely appreciate the quick "to the point" nature. Keep up the great work.
Hi all! For those of you who had the Syntax Error - here is the solution. I had the same issue but it did't work even after I fixed all the "" symbols. I replaced the symbols and put the [num] to the end of the expression and then it started to work.
var num = effect("Slider Control")("Slider")
num = Comma(num);
function Comma(number)
{
number = "" + Math.round(number);
if (number.length > 3)
{
var mod = number.length % 3;
var output = (mod > 0 ? (number.substring(0,mod)) : "");
for (i=0 ; i < Math.floor(number.length / 3); i++)
{
if ((mod == 0) && (i == 0))
output += number.substring(mod+ 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
else
output+= "," + number.substring(mod + 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
}
return (output);
}
else return number;
}
[num]
THANK YOU!
Thanks :)
Thank you!
I’m getting “Slider Control” is not a function
Thanks dude!
your style is awesome keep it up ^^
Thank you so much!! :) Super helpful and simple. Yay.
thanks for your help,, i can make it for my short movie about youtube..
Excellent. Highly appreciated.
Wow this worked like magic, I have almost ZERO experience in After Effects. Thank YOU!
Wonderful..!! You are making us learn 3 things in Single Video..! Much Appreciated 👌
Now that is one thing I was crazy to really KNOW how to do it..
Expressions.. Something I still have to dive into it..
Thanks a lot for the tut!
When I copy paste the expression it shows up in the textfield on stage...
exactly what I needed OMG!!! THank you
En español:
var num = effect("Control del deslizador")("Deslizador")
num = Comma(num);

ME SALE ERROR :(
@@abeldesign4865 seguro porque nombraste el layer del deslizador. Vuelve a vincularlo y lo que te saga lo pones delante del var num (ejemplo, mi layer se llama "Controlador" y el código de vinculación aparece thisComp.layer("Controlador").effect("Control del deslizador texto")("Deslizador"), todo eso lo pones en el primer renglón y listo)
Mil gracias!!!!!
Thank you my friend. You are a gentleman, and a scholar.
Hey, thanks for that :)
But I have some annoying problem, after adding the script, it adds a little space after the comma and I just can't figure how to get rid of it...
Thank you so much, it was really helpful
You saved me life!! Thank you!
Very helpful, thanks!
For it to work in CC2019 not Legacy ExtendScript:
Function must be BEFORE the result!
===================
var num = effect("Slider Control")("Slider")
function Comma(number)
{
number = '' + Math.round(number);
if (number.length > 3)
{
var mod = number.length % 3;
var output = (mod > 0 ? (number.substring(0,mod)) : '');
for (i=0 ; i < Math.floor(number.length / 3); i++)
{
if ((mod == 0) && (i == 0))
output += number.substring(mod+ 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
else
output+= ',' + number.substring(mod + 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
}
return (output);
}
else return number;
}
num = Comma(num);
[num]
You're a life saver
THANK YOU!
Cheers mate
what do you mean by "Function must be BEFORE the result!" ???? HELP PLEEEEASE
@@ZattalovOffishal In JavaScript expression execution line by line. So, function should be higher, in first lines. Legacy ExtendScript expression reads as full docs, with all lines.
Therefore in Legacy ExtendScript it doesn't matter where the function is.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
it works :)
Thanks so much for this! Struggling to find how to add +"Kg" or +"night" ect to the end is that possible?
Thank you, how do I make the motion effect at the beginning of the video?
Thanks! Awesome!
Hi, is it possible, for example, to add an image INSTEAD of a character, next to the number? Lets say that instead of a "$" or "%" i want to add the image of a little coin, so when the number increases and moves by its increasement, the coin next to it will move accordingly. Thanks a lot in advance
it doesnt allow me to do expressions for some reason, it is just gray, i click alt and it doesnt work
Hello with AE 2020 not working this line : var num = effect("Slider Control")("Slider") a idea please ? Thanks
how do you make it look like you in the youtube page doe? and also while playing the video?
Very good explanation thanks !
hey bro. awesome tutorial, subscribed.
i have a question though. how do I replace the comma with a space? thank you!
SO DARNED HELPFUL!!! THANK YOU!!!!! :)
Thank you
U saved a day here
Amazing. I was about to get all mad about it not going over a million but that multiplying trick works great!
Agh, when I tried putting 100,000 it did the counting thing up to 100 but then suddenly jumped to 100,000. I agree, it's amazing!
I always learn come thing knew from this channel thank you so much ^_^
great! helpful! thnks!
Great video! Thank you! How did you make your countdown be with motion blur? I’ve enabled motion blur on my text layer as well as motion blur for the entire comp, but still not getting that slick motion blur! Please help :)
"Effects & Presets" -> "Pixel Motion Blur"
thanks man!!
I'm getting an expression error. followed everything perfectly. adobe cc 2018
Thank you very much. This saved my day/
major thumbs up if you upload a counter with different fonts or even just one font, as a green screen or chroma able screen.
Thank you man !
Thank you for this great tutorial, may I ask you, would be possible to replace the comma with a dot? I don't know where to change the expression.
Change the elseoutput from "," to "."
var num = effect("Slider Control")("Slider")
num = Comma(num);
[num]
function Comma(number)
{
number = '' + Math.round(number);
if (number.length > 3)
{
var mod = number.length % 3;
var output = (mod > 0 ? (number.substring(0,mod)) : '');
for (i=0 ; i < Math.floor(number.length / 3); i++)
{
if ((mod == 0) && (i == 0))
output += number.substring(mod+ 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
else
output+= '.' + number.substring(mod + 3 * i, mod + 3 * i + 3);
}
return (output);
}
else return number;
}
thank you very much!
Coup/pasted the code but always sends me an error message :/ Can it be because I'm using a French keyboard (sorry guys, not an expert at AE)
exactly what I was looking for
life savers. thank youuuuuu
Great tutorial XD! i have one question, do you have a tutorial for your zooming in effect that you do from 0:07 to 0:12
thank you so much sir
And here I am again, I guess I should have waited for the Math.round() expression haha
thank u!!
cant thank you enough
Wow love this I am going to use this to count to 15000 subscribers video. Soo that was a great tutorial.
What if you want to add two decimal at the end for currency?
thank u bro
Any idea how to achieve this effect with Resolve?
that voice crack at 3:17 tho lolXD thanks for the help bro
Thanks
How can you hold the shaking when the number goes down?
Any idea where to find slider control or effects and pre-sets ?
спасибо
¡Gracias!
How do you / would you add a numerical value to before the counter? Specifically a pound (£) sign?
AGAINST THE GRAIN if you add
“£” +
Before the expression it will appear
can you change comma to dot ?
Please can you do it on phone for us to see because I didn’t see anything on the computer
Hey Guys! Thanks for the tuts though I have a question. What can I edit in expression to the numbers count up to 2 million? Hope you answer my question asap. Thanks a lot and more power! ^^
anyone ever figure this out?
@@pcholtz well what I did because i could not find a answer, I repeat the countdown, but masked the first number...
what if i want to add a currency in front of it?
i usually use "$" + effect(.....and so on... and so on...)
How he did counting growing left to write?? how align?
I looked for this like a two months ago and nowhere it was explained so clear like here :/
var num = effect("Slider Control")("Slider")

awesome!! really helped but how can I start with 000.000 instead of just 0?
template please ?
Hey man it'd be gr8 if u could do that YT page thing it was epic
+Zvi Moss will check it out but i made something myself too 😊
The code on the website is missing some quotation marks, causing some 'unterminated string constant' syntax errors. If you're getting those, swap out lines 7 and 11 with ~number = "" + Math.round(number);~ and ~var output = (mod > 0 ? (number.substring(0,mod)) : "");~ . Remove the ~.
Also, since this Tutorial is a bit outdated, you're going to have to go to Project Settings --> Expressions --> and set it to 'Legacy ExtendScript' to get things working.
Yep, I can't get this to work in 2022, even with swapping out lines 7 and 11 with: number = "" + Math.round(number);~ and ~var output = (mod > 0 ? (number.substring(0,mod)) : "");
@@SebDJ me neither, i´m tired of looking for how to put the damn comma. Did u got it fixed?
@@Xandertank2010 I've had 8 beers tonight, so I have absolutely no idea 😂. I'll try and figure this out tomorrow!
How can you add a fitting Sound effect ?
I gotta question, how would I do a timer? Like from 20:00 to 0.
I think there is a built in function for that actually. Look up timer or something like that in effects and presets
Can u do how to crate that YT page and chrome browser
I'd like a tutorial on that as well. Especially the 3D movement.

If I were to add two decimals to the counter, how should I modify this expression?
Put this in expression

Is there any way to add a dollar sign in the front of the text that stays in front of the numbers all the way from 0 to 50,000?
"$" + (effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value.toFixed(2))
I was able to get it by adding "$" + after the "return" on line 19 like this: return "$" + (output);
@@timdurning Thank you for this! 🙌🏼
Is there a way to add a dollar symbol on the front end of the counting number with the commas?
"$" + (effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value.toFixed(2))
When I add this expression, it loses the comma and adds two decimal points. How can I make it go to an even, round number with a dollar sign and no decimals? For instance $15,000. Thanks.

How did you get the counter to blur in that way?
Hi Caleb, simply apply motion blur setting for the layers and composition.
