Features of the Countdown Animation
I see it used in self-made movies for wedding opening movies, and in movies when the time limit is approaching.
I think it has a tense effect and can keep viewers focused on the video.

Features
It is a hand-drawn animation that feels a little Japanese.
How to edit
1. Create a text layer with the Character tool.
2. Convert the created text layer to the layer "Create Text to Shape Layer">.
3. From the properties of the text layer, set the line "Taper> Tip" to 100%.
4. Trim the path and add animations to the start and end points and you're done.

Itis a cute animation with pop movements.
How to edit
1. Make 100×100 squares with the shape tool.
2. Duplicate the shape layer, change the paint on the top layer to red, and create a square edge with the mask.
3. In another composition, put 6 square compositions you made earlier.
Check the 4.3D and add a camera layer to create a dice shape.
5. Create a null object and link all the layers to animate the rotation.
7. Close AE and duplicate the 4 files you created.
8. Open a new AE and import the 4 AE files.
9. Arrange each composition and make transitions in opaque.
Sci-Fi Style Countdown Animation
Features
It is a digital-style animation.
It looks like a cool video.
How to edit
1. Create text with the text tool and add the effect "Slider Control".
2. Link the text layer property pick whip with "Slider Control".
3. Now that the decimal point appears, open the stopwatch properties, enter the code to erase the decimal point, and add an animation.
4. Use the effects "Rough Edge" and "Waveform Warp" to create a visual that matches your ideal.

The effects are made easy for anyone to make because they use the original AE ones!
