Hi) before, I could easily create such an animation in an after effect using an expression effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”).value.toFixed(0) +"%" to animate text for making counter. after the update, I no longer have the ability to create such counters using your plugin. Maybe you can give a solution.

I have done this two months ago [https://lottiefiles.com/share/atv4t3le](https://lottiefiles.com/share/atv4t3le)

this is the result after updating the plugin [https://lottiefiles.com/share/fqcmnv4g](https://lottiefiles.com/share/fqcmnv4g)

please help.

, I want to create a [2D animation](https://www.videocubix.com/) similar to bleach, naruto, and death note, but the problem is I don’t know how to do it. I want to know what are the steps involved in it and what programs to use for animating or special effects

Did anyone find a solution for this?  
I’ve tried pre-rendering the layer with an expression effect but this doesn’t help.

Edit: found the right answer here: [Counter text not working · Issue #1970 · airbnb/lottie-web · GitHub](https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-web/issues/1970)
