Air total —

	Element	Type	Record target	Recorded

Segment targets = air total − the cold open aim − every fixed time in organization settings − inserts − the other segments' recorded times. The cold open is taped last, so its target is whatever is genuinely left once the segments are in — it runs long or short to land the episode exactly on total. Enter times as mm:ss — 18:20, 0:30, or 45 for 45 seconds. Everything saves automatically.

Organization settings

Name Total time Cold open aim

The segments budget the cold open aim so their targets stay stable. The cold open is taped last and takes whatever is actually left, so its own target drifts off the aim as the segments come in over or under.

Fixed times

Transitions, spot breaks and any other set-length element. These air but are not taped, and every one of them comes off the segment record targets.
