Mark each segment
Use one duration marker for a complete segment, or pair two point markers to define its IN and OUT.
FOR PREMIERE PRO + DAVINCI RESOLVE STUDIO
Premiere ProDaVinci Resolve
Create your
segment slate.
Place markers at each segment’s IN and OUT points. Segment TC reads the timeline, calculates each segment’s duration (TRT), and exports one clear 1920×1080 PNG slate for delivery.

No more copying timecodes into a spreadsheet.
A segment slate lists when every program segment starts, when it ends and how long it runs. Segment TC builds that list from markers already on your timeline, reducing manual calculations and typing errors.

HOW IT WORKS
Mark the timeline. Get the slate.
Enter the program details
Add the series title, episode and media ID. Segment TC reads the markers and calculates every TRT.
Receive the PNG slate
Export one full-HD image with the program details, total duration and a timecode row for every segment.
THE FILE YOU RECEIVE
One PNG with every segment clearly listed.
The 1920×1080 image shows the program details, total running time and up to seven rows of IN, OUT and TRT timecodes. TRT means the running time of that individual segment.

Windows + macOS
DaVinci Resolve Studio
The Resolve edition is a Python Utility script. Install Python with Tkinter and Pillow before copying the script.
01
Install the prerequisites
Install Python 3 from python.org ↗. On Windows, enable Add Python to PATH in the installer. The python.org macOS installer includes Tkinter.
Windows — PowerShell or Command Prompt
py -m pip install --upgrade PillowmacOS — Terminal
python3 -m pip install --upgrade PillowPillow installation reference: official Pillow documentation ↗
02
Verify Python, Tkinter and Pillow
Run the command for your system. A small Tk window should open and the terminal should print Segment TC ready.
Windows
py -c "import tkinter; from PIL import Image; print('Segment TC ready')"macOS
python3 -c "import tkinter; from PIL import Image; print('Segment TC ready')"
03
Copy the Utility script
From the downloaded package, copy SegmentTC_Resolve.py into the Utility folder for your operating system. Create the final folders if they do not exist.
Windows — all users
C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Fusion\Scripts\Utility\Windows — current user
%APPDATA%\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Scripts\Utility\macOS — all users
/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Scripts/Utility/macOS — current user
~/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Fusion/Scripts/Utility/macOS tip: In Finder choose Go → Go to Folder…, paste the path, then press Return.

Launch Segment TC
Restart DaVinci Resolve Studio. Open a project and timeline, then choose Workspace → Scripts → Utility → SegmentTC_Resolve.
Use timeline markers, not clip markers. Enter the series title, episode number and media ID, then click Generate PNG + Import to Media Pool and choose where to save the PNG.
DaVinci troubleshooting +
Script is not listed: confirm the filename is SegmentTC_Resolve.py, confirm it is inside the final Utility folder, then fully restart Resolve.
Pillow is missing: repeat the install command using the Python installation that Resolve can access.
Tkinter is missing: reinstall Python from python.org with Tcl/Tk support, then repeat the verification command.
No markers found: move the markers to the timeline ruler. Markers attached to individual clips are not read.
WHAT IT DOES — AND DOESN’T DO
It reads your markers. It does not change your edit.
Calculates the timecodes
Segment TC reads every segment’s IN and OUT, then calculates its TRT and the total program duration.
Uses one clear layout
Every export follows the same readable full-HD slate format, so deliveries stay consistent.
Leaves the timeline untouched
The tool reads markers and creates a separate PNG. It does not move, trim or place clips.
Uses the markers you already know
If you can place timeline markers, you already understand the main Segment TC workflow.
PRICING
Choose annual updates or a one-time license.
Both plans include the Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve Studio editions for Windows and macOS, plus installation guides and direct email support.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What buyers need to know.
Does Segment TC change my timeline?+
No. It reads timeline markers and generates a separate PNG. It does not move clips or place anything on the timeline.
Which markers should I use?+
A duration marker can define one complete segment. You can also use two point markers: the first becomes the segment IN and the next becomes its OUT.
How do I install the Premiere Pro edition?+
Extract your download, then double-click the included .ccx installer. Creative Cloud Desktop will open; approve the third-party plugin notice, restart Premiere Pro, then open Segment TC from Window → UXP Plugins.
How do I install the DaVinci Resolve edition?+
Install Python 3 with Tkinter and Pillow, copy SegmentTC_Resolve.py into the Resolve Utility scripts folder, then restart Resolve and open it from Workspace → Scripts → Utility. The product download includes the exact paths for Windows and macOS.
What does the DaVinci edition require?+
DaVinci Resolve Studio, Python 3 with Tkinter, and Pillow in the Python environment used by Resolve.
Can each company use its own timecode settings?+
Yes. Set the timeline start timecode, program start timecode and frame rate to match the delivery. You can change those settings later without changing the license.
What does IN, OUT and TRT mean?+
IN is where a segment starts. OUT is where it ends. TRT is that segment’s total running time. Segment TC calculates these values from the timeline markers.
Can I use it on both Windows and Mac?+
Yes. Both the Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve Studio editions are available for Windows and macOS.
How do the licenses work?+
The annual license renews at $129 per year and includes updates while active. The $299 lifetime option is a one-time payment that lets you keep using the version you purchased.
