One click an= d drag. Search =E2=80=9CFrame Number=E2=80=9D in the stock Animation Presets. If people want bells and whistles, then yes there are more steps. The point b= eing is that solutions do exist, and no they really are not complicated, jus= t confusing if you refuse to learn some simple things, but I get that some p= eople just want an easy button. Which quite frankly is possible too if you u= se ExtendScript. It can be a button click. The alternative is to keep filing a feature request and hope Adobe gets enou= gh requests for it to do something about it. Until then the vast pool of 3rd= party developers fill that gap and put a lot of developing effort into maki= ng useful tools. We all know time is money, so those tools are not always go= ing to be free. I=E2=80=99ve given free solutions (not only here but over th= e past 10 years) and Lloyd has provided fancier paid solutions (for nearly t= he same amount of time). Many options exist to fix this frame counter burnin= problem currently. If people don=E2=80=99t like any of them, then I guess y= ou are stuck....by choice.
