[myles Berman] “”Each new segment should begin at the top of the next minute. Leave at least 15 seconds of black between program segments for commercial holes.” Does this mean that I have to end each segment at any given minute”
No, your segment can be any length, but if your segment finishes at xx:46″ then go onto the next minute ( ie 1′ 14′ on) to start the next segment.
[myles Berman] “In addition, the show has to be a certain length, is the 15 seconds of black in between these segments included as part of the prjoect time? “
No, your TRT is just YOUR sum of the segements.
