List message timing
Synthetic 15-second clip has offer 0–8, qualifier 8–11 and required action 11–15. Slot permits at most 12 seconds at original speed. Local policy requires every message interval fully retained, with no fast playback. A12-second trim clips the action.
| Message | Interval sec | Retained by 12sec trim |
|---|---|---|
| Offer | 0–8 | Complete |
| Qualifier | 8–11 | Complete |
| Action | 11–15 | Only 1 of 4 sec |
Check the retained interval
- Mark the required final endpoint 15
- Compare slot endpoint 12
- Reject incomplete trim
- Request a complete≤12sec edit
Cutting the qualifier instead to make room for the action also violates the supplied complete-message rule.
How much required action time is lost?
Show the worked answer
Three seconds,12–15. One of the four action seconds remains, so the trim is not accepted.
Request a shorter complete edit
| Case | Decision or result | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Use first 12sec | Reject | Final action incomplete |
| New complete 11sec edit | Candidate eligible after inspection | Fits slot with all messages |
Request an edit deliverable with its own timing sheet. A shorter file name or duration alone does not establish that required messages survive.
