Run Time

[fincaman]

I have just programmed an hour long show, just 20 vocal numbers and I had a thought does SCS show you the total run time anywhere as that would be handy ?

You can check on the aggregate time of all the cues by going, in the Main Window toolbar, to View | Current Information.

If you want to check on the running time as you go, in the Editor toolbar, go to Production | Production Timer Actions. For the first number select 'Start timer (at 0:0) when cue starts' and you'll get the running time in a window that you can move round the screen and resize. Choose 'Pause timer when cue ends' for the last number and you'll get the actual running time. I find it useful to have a dummy cue with a hotkey, set up with 'Pause timer when cue starts' to stop the timer if necessary. You could similarly set up 'Resume' keys to get it going again.
