@JemU776

there’s two ways to pause a scene:

1. Use this command: @pause for a beat

You can write:

@pause for a beat

in your script as many times as you like.

Use this command: @pause for S
Replace S with a number though (in seconds)

So, if you write @pause for 5
The scene pauses for 5 seconds.

It doesn’t have to be 5 though, can be any number (ex. 4, 6, 0, 0.7, 2.3, etc.) Not a negative number though as seconds can’t go backwards.

Instead of having that many @pause for a beat in your story, use something like @pause for 4
