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.

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.
