Bernd,

I've got the following question due to some changes we have to make at this moment: before playing the news there are 30 seconds with jingles.
How to play the news right on time? Do I have to set the starttime for example at 13:59:30 fixed?
Now I have for example 14:00:00 fixed, but than everything is playing at 14.00h, so the news will be 30 seconds later.
Attached you can see the situation.

After the newsoverlay the commercials overlay will follow; how about that starttime and starttype?

I assume, that your news is the 3rd script line?
Yes, if you want to let this line play at xx:00:00 and your two Jingles take 30 sec., then you must schedule your overlay to start 30 sec. in advance, e.g. at 13:59:30 Fixed!

Correct 3rd line. OK will change that.
After the news overlay the commercial overlay will follow. Is start time **:00:01 and start type endsat correct ?

If you have set the 'Combine parallel Overlay' option I would define it as:

1. Overlay (news): StartTime 13:59:30; Fixed; Show 120 seconds in advance
2 Overlay (commercial): StartTime 14:00:01; Soft; Show 140 seconds in advance

That way the 2nd is effectively just started a few seconds after the 1st one (while that is still waiting) and this both can be combined to play perfectly one after the other.

Thanks for your fast reply.
It works!
