Coming from premiere one of the things I missed in resolve was a true frame counter. Not one that had seconds and reset every second I’m talking a true start at 1 and go until the end kind of counter. Perfect for animation and reference without having to do anything fancy to decipher your frame number.

There’s no default one so I made one with this little text string here. You can download the frame counter below in two versions. One is a fusion macro you can drop on as a single node and it just works. The other (expanded counter) captures all the nodes in the frames so you can adjust to your liking!

If you want to make your own you can modify the expanded to your liking or just put the expression below in the Text+ box and modify to your needs!
