Article Focus: In this video tutorial, Creative Cow leader Aharon Rabinowitz finishes up the odometer project by giving it a 3D look. Also, for those who skipped part 2 or that just don't want to write expressions, this tutorial also comes with some effects presets that will let you automate your odometer within seconds.
Odometer looks ok, doesn't animate though (AE CS4, Mac)
by John Martinetto on Nov 9, 2009
All was going great with this tutorial, until I got to Part 3 where Aharon says "I'm going to jump ahead in time..." about 4:08 into the podcast version. I completed the steps in the tutorial as the podcast instructed.
Everything looks fine except my numbers don't animate. When I did the RAM preview at the end, I just saw a static number display and then the motion blur and that's it.
I'm using AE CS4 for Mac and it should be noted that this is my first attempt at using AE.
