    And when you set keyframes at 3:31 don't forget to change the Animation Curve from Spline to Linear. Thank you Jared!

    One thing is don't forget to change the keyframes to linear. They are eased by default, so the speed is not constant.

    how do you insert commas? such as counting from 0 to 5,000? And can you work with commas and decimals together... think counting money from $0 to $5,000.25? I get adding the dollar sign and then the counter... but can the counter do commas and decimals?

    Is there any way to do this with a text instead of time? I want to reveal a text and this could be a way to animate random letters? cheers, Luq

    Something I can't seem to find is... out to change the User Data min and max value, AFTER you set it up. I have a scene with a lot of these animated numbers, and now I have to change them and have them showing higher values, and what I had to do is create the user data again (increasing the max) and copy and re-create the scene from scratch.. EDIT: OK, I found it, going back to the Null object, User Data and select "Manage User Data..."

    Thanks for the tutorial - brilliant. If you wanted the upper limit to be greater than 100 (say for instance 6500) how would you achieve this? Not sure if you are picking up comments on this now but would be gret to hear back from you. Cheers and thanks again.

    Just answered my own question and to help anyone else like me - if you want the numbers to go beyond 100 (or have a different range) make sure your controller is selected, click on the user data tab and select manage Data. Click on Data in the hierarchy. This will display a mininmum and maximum limit which you can set to your requirements. Easy!
