I may have put this in the wrong spot.
I am wanting to start writing a story that i have on Wattpad on Episode.
I have been watching Joseph Evans Tutorials, but for some reason, I can’t even get passed having the character enter the screen. It keeps saying i did it wrong…

For example…I’ll put

“@ SOPHIA” enters from left side screen to center screen (Btw i put @ and SOPHIA together, i just didn’t want to tag a stranger in this.

that didn’t work so i just tried: SOPHIA

what am i doing wrong? please help!

You’ll need to spot direct and use an overlay. Joseph Evans videos are how I learnt. If you copy what he says you’ll be good :grinning:
