Making the countdown- Motion

I wanted a countdown timer to go at the start of my film so I started by drawing up the basic shape in Photoshop and saved it out as a PNG. 

I then dropped this into motion and added the number three in the centre, I also added another PNG of just a line to act as the hand going round.

In the time line I cut the number three length right down and added a two and a one to go after it. While the numbers counted down I needed my line to move around like a hand on a clock, to do this I changed its anchor point down to the bottom of it which was in the centre of the larger cross, I then used the record button to make it swoop round the screen creating a proper cinema countdown.
