Whether you are checking the total duration of a television show, adding up edit segments, or simply need to add and subtract timecode, TRT gives you the answer quickly and accurately. SHOW RUN TIME Build a show from individual segments and watch the Total Run Time update instantly as you enter each duration. Choose your show format, frame rate, and Drop Frame or Non-Drop Frame mode, then enter the duration of every segment. TRT continuously calculates the full show runtime for you. TIMECODE CALCULATOR Need to add or subtract multiple timecodes? Enter a duration, tap Add or Subtract, and TRT keeps a running total. A dedicated timecode keypad makes entering HH:MM:SS:FF values fast and easy. PROFESSIONAL FRAME RATE SUPPORT TRT supports common production frame rates including: 23.976 24 25 29.97 30 50 59.94 60 Drop Frame and Non-Drop Frame timecode are supported where appropriate.
