Extending a 1hr20min movie to 2 hours with mid-roll filler

m4xwell4752

Say I have a movie that's 1 hour 20 minutes in length, and I'd like to setup a designated 2-hour movie block on the schedule. If I set the Playout Mode to Duration and set the duration to 2 hours, the scheduled block will end at 1 hour 30 minutes instead of the full 2 hours.

How can I make it so Ersatz will fill enough mid-roll filler to extend the shorter content to match the desired segment length? i.e. make a 1 hour 20 minute movie play from 1pm-3pm instead of 1pm-2:30pm

Basically this is decided by the mid roll filler pad settings. If you pad to 30 minutes, when something ends it will pad until the wall clock is a multiple of 30. Change your mid roll filler pad setting to 60 minutes if you want it to fill out to full hours.
