Hello Jamie, If you are playing your items from the group in "timed" playout mode , try set item timing to be "Scene Director" instead of default "item duration" . It seems to take into account the good duration then. Hope it helps, Antoine #XPression

Hello Mark, this can be extended to more options by duplicating some blocs . For each new option : - add a new "format float" box and connect it to the next input number of the "input selector" (input [N] for example) - add a string compare , multiply it by the value N and add it to the ...

Hello Sunil, if "Net rr" values are between -X/2 and X/2 , you can use ("Pts Fields" * X + "Net rr" ) as computed values to sort. Here is an example with X=10 , visual logic looks like this : this should work, regards, Antoine #XPression
