time position indicator in numbers

Hello.

This probably an easy request so apologies in advance if this has already been covered.

I am trying to create a time position indicator.
Imagine a DVR and you are fast forwarding through a show.
How would you display just 0:00:00.?
So, hours (to one digit), minutes, and seconds.

Could I also “fake” the fast forwarding of the numbers by adding a timewarp effect to it?

Thanks in advance!

Have you looked at using the timeToTimecode() or timeToNTSCTimecode() expression on the source text of a layer? If you look under the Global Properties of the expressions drop down you will see them.
