Features

Build your rundown

  • Variable breaks

    Set a duration for each break. Change, reorder or mute acts and breaks as your cut develops. Muted items stay in the rundown but drop out of the totals.

  • Edit + delivery rates

    Set separate edit and delivery rates, then change either without rebuilding the rundown. Choose a starting timecode to see delivery start and end positions. See supported frame rates and drop-frame handling.

  • Frame-accurate totals

    Acta Post stores and totals whole frames, showing the difference from the target runtime as the cut changes.

Time a screening or live segment

Use To time to capture each act during a screening or live segment. Use Time Segment to time one item on its own, as shown here. Review captured durations before applying them to your rundown.

See screening controls and iPad keyboard shortcuts.
