What It Does
Counter Pro 2 generates animated number counters in After Effects. It handles everything from simple counting animations to formatted dates and timers, with support for multiple languages and number formats. The plugin works through a redesigned interface that makes it faster to set up counters than using expressions or third-party templates.
Key Features
Multi-language support. Format numbers according to different language conventions (decimal separators, digit grouping, text direction). Useful for international projects where you need counters to display correctly in French, Arabic, Japanese, or other languages.
Date and time animation. Animate calendar dates and clock times with customizable formatting options. You can create countdown timers, stopwatches, or display specific date formats without manually keyframing each digit.
Performance improvements. Version 2 optimizes rendering for projects with multiple counters. The plugin processes counter animations more efficiently than the previous version, particularly noticeable in compositions with dozens of animated numbers.
Customizable formatting. Control decimal places, separators, prefixes, suffixes, and padding. Works for financial figures, percentages, or any scenario where number presentation matters.
Who It’s For
Useful for motion graphics work involving statistics, data visualization, sports graphics, financial displays, or any project requiring animated numbers. Common in broadcast packages, explainer videos, and corporate presentations where you need reliable, repeatable counter setups.
Pricing
Single user license costs $20. Upgrade pricing available for existing Counter Pro v1 users: $5 if purchased after November 11, 2024, otherwise $10. Floating server licenses available at different pricing. Compatible with After Effects 2025 back to CC 2014.
