Is it possible to include the frame info that shows up in MPlay in the upper left in an exported image or video?

You can parent a geo with a font sop in it to the camera, position it so it's visible in frame, then attach a constant shader to it, and use `$F` as the text (not the backticks, just next to the “1” key).

Or overlay a text in COPs to have always an option if you change mind.

you could also use the watermark application in the post frame script:

for example:


unix hwatermark -x 4 10 -m “$WEDGE” `chs(“vm_picture”)` `chs(“vm_picture”)` $HFS/houdini/fonts_texture/Fixed-Bold.24


This example is from:
