For motion picture film

A footage counter for when the camera's isn't there.

For cameras and mags with a counter that's missing, broken or hard to read. Press RUN and STOP for each take and get the feet shot, the running total, and the time left on the roll.

Free. No account. Works offline on any phone.

Built the way a camera counts.

Made by a camera assistant, for the people who load, run and report on film.

Change fps mid-roll

Each take keeps the speed it was shot at. Go from 24 to 36 fps and the takes already shot stay exactly as they were.

Time left on the roll

Feet and time remaining at the current speed. It turns amber when you're low and flags Roll Out when you're past the end.

Whole feet, like a counter

Footage shot rounds up and footage left rounds down, so it never shows more film than you have. Takes always add up to the roll total.

Any speed, any length

From 24 fps up to high-speed rates like 2,500 fps. Load short ends of any length, and save the speeds and short ends you use often.

Projects, if you want them

File finished rolls under a project and look back at every take. Or skip projects and use it as a quick calculator.

No signal needed

Runs fully offline once it's on your home screen. Everything stays on your phone. No account and nothing to sign into.

How it works

Set the roll

Pick the format, frame rate and roll length: 400', 1000', or the short end you just loaded.

RUN and STOP

Tap RUN when the camera rolls and STOP when it cuts. Each take is logged with its own speed and footage.

Fill in the report

Copy each take's footage onto your camera report. New Roll files the roll and starts the next one.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. No account, no ads and nothing to buy.

Does it work without signal?

Yes. Open it once with a connection and add it to your home screen. After that it runs fully offline, on set, in a truck or on a mountain.

Can I change the frame rate mid-roll?

Yes, and earlier takes are never recalculated. Each take keeps the speed it was shot at, so a roll shot partly at 24 fps and partly at 36 fps adds up correctly.

How accurate is it?

It counts from the moment you press RUN to the moment you press STOP, so it's as accurate as your timing. It rounds the way a counter does: footage shot rounds up and footage left rounds down. When the camera has a working counter, trust the camera.

What if a short end is longer than labelled?

FilmCounter keeps counting past the roll length and shows how far over you are, so a 300' short end that really holds 320' is still counted correctly.
