Nutcracker: New effect, countdown timer

[smeighan]

Just in time for new years.

2 digit Countdown timer. I calculate the number of frames needed for one second timing. So the sequence duration kind of doesn't matter. You countdown from 15 and your sequence is 15 seconds.

That's cool, now if it could display Happy New Year after the '0' that would be slick.

Happy New Year!

I've been wanting this for my Christmas show. For 2 years now I have been trying to get my tree to count down from 10 to 0 and my show starts! Thanks for solving my problem Sean!
