I noticed a very similar update that showed duration in the multiview window but doesn't say how long the selected clips you're about to play out is going to be, so we are currently adding up with calculators and it's mayhem especially if someone misses an entry.
Is this a possible thing to do? - to show the total duration of the events selected, as I'm debating dropping how we do the replays even though it looks awsome when we do its just so much work to get the figures we need, thank you.

@ Barney Box Lane

Not sure how feasible it is in your workflow, but if you export your selected clips and then add them into a "List" Input, your Total Time will be listed (in addition to play head and playing clip time) if "Auto Next" is enabled.
You can also edit Mark IN and Mark OUT points of the clips, which automatically adjusts the listed times.
I realize this is not always convenient in a fast paced LIVE environment, but it is not outside the realm of possibility if it is an absolute need for you.

thank you ice, in a slower scenario we probably could but we're doing drag racing so it's like a football match between two teams with more results every minute, so if your doing something you're missing something. your method would be how we export for social media (during a track break) with the song name in the title - basically we have a list of songs of varying length (30 sec - 3min) and we then match them up depending on clip time.
with your method it would probably take the time we're trying to cover up on track as they sweep away something before the next run etc which is why we need to be able to just drop it, hope that makes a bit of sense
