Hello,

Does anybody know how I can link the text tool to display the current frame, so that when I scrub the timeline, the text appends to display the correct frame number?  I want to render an animation but have the frame number visible for any alterations I may be asked to do.  I know I could turn on the 'show current time' in the viewport but this wouldn't show up in the render.  I can't seem to find an input node for the text box.

If their isn't a solution, is it possible in the compositor? I'm using version 5.11 at the moment.

What about something like Kim Aldis' KS_Slate (check google or XSIbase.com)
