After Effects 7 Common Time Display Expressions

📌How to use Expressions to easily create countdown and stopwatch effects!

In animation design, time display is a very practical element. Whether it is used in game UI, live broadcast timing, tutorial videos, transition rhythm, or even countdown activity pages, we often need the format of "00:10" or "01:05:23" to appear on the screen.

With After Effects’ powerful Expressions feature, you can automatically generate these time formats directly in the “Text Layer”, saving the trouble of manual editing!
