My client would like to see a moving numeral, in the millions, counting up to a grand total. Just the last 4 digits would need to move, though more would be cool too...
We are wrapping tonight and I do not have time to create one (a digit per layer) -
Sorry Marla...I don't know about FCP. I can do it in 5 minutes in After Effects using the "Numbers" plug-in. Since it only goes up to 30000, I use 2 instances of the plug-in & animate them individually. Works great.
I hope I find some time and the opportunity to learn AE sometime SOON! It is definitely one of my next logical steps. I used to do loads of animation/stop motion and I keep running into the need for it...
Probably too late now, but you could just use one of the countdowns you can get as plug-ins for the last four numbers, and use the text tool to make up the static 1,00 that goes in front of the 0,000.
