Adds a comma in the right spaces for text layers used as numbers in Adobe After Effects. Copy code and paste as an expression on a text layer's Source Text property. Great function to apply when using text layers to generate computational math or getting data from a spreadsheet. Of course if you're doing none of these things you can just type a comma :)
