Bug in the previewer of my stories in the mobile app. The background appears all black?

Hi everyone. Today I was writing my story in the writer’s portal. I wanted to play my story in the mobile app. Everything was fine until some scenes started running weird. I could only see the characters and the speech bubbles but not the background or layouts.

Could someone help me?

Here is a screenshot

Thanks in advance :black_heart:

Would you be open to showing your script?

the script of that scene or the whole story?

is huge :grimacing:

It could be struggling to do the opacities for both considering you have & for the top one and I’m not sure if the sound provides much of a break between them if at all?

Same thing here.

Same here too, but I’m not sure if that’s the issue though.


  • Is the mansion background your own background or the episode one? The only episode one I could find was INT. MANSION BEDROOM TEEN - DAY
  • Is MANTA is the correct name of the overlay?
  • You’re sure these name are correct too?

If you’re certain your background names and overlay names are correct, your backgrounds have been uploaded (I refresh my script after uploading), then I’m not sure what could be causing the issue unless I’ve somehow missed an error or it’s a glitch instead. :confused:
When mine are black, it’s normally a small error in the script that hasn’t been picked up in the error box.

Ok! I’ll check this. Thank u so much :))

is mine
