Awesome tutorial mate! How do I save just the timer as a transparent alpha channel? I would like to display it as a background to a side in my Zoom meetings.

[DanijelCesar]

Just what I was looking for! How do I change the font of the numbers?

At 1:26, mine showed the same mask but transparent background. Same steps. Same view. So I am confused on the different outcome. I had to add a 3rd black solid layer beneath the timer comp to get the same effect that you get at 1:26. Do you know what could have caused the difference?
