How do you increase the hours number past 20? And add days?

[stefanolongoni]

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 =
mm =
ss =
speed_animation = Animation")(1);
total_seconds = == 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 = + (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);
}
}

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

This video was so helpful for me...
thank you so much...

[Carlinosbrowns]

If I want to add 2 decimal places to the counter, how would I update the expression?
thank you!!!

[민철기-uv]

I have a question.
Is there a way to make it count in minutes, seconds, and 24fps??

[akshaygupta]

i like it, if you make any video related to that please share me the video link

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?

[SickleThits]

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?

Hello! How to make the countdown to start at specific point of timeline?

[DarkRiderMotovlogs]

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!

Using AE. please help

[TExile]

damn, way more in-depth than I thought! saving this one

[julianhuhoa]

i'm sorry, please, help me code text - sound... thanks

[taketheredpill]

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)

[RamL]

Why is it saying error in the expression
