How do you start a scene with the characters already present ? 
When spotting the characters, put them right under the background and instead of the @ sign, use &

thank you soo much
sorry to bother you 
but could you please help me with the spot directing iām a complete duffer
Haha itās alright ofc I can help! And itās no problem!
So what I would suggest is just to write &CHARACTER stands screen center AND CHARACTER faces direction
To start because then it gets the characters on screen.
Use your previewer to move them to the correct space!

can i see your script?
Waitā¦ I am actually having the same problem, What do you mean āput them right under the backgroundā and what do you mean āput them right under the background and instead of the @ sign, use &ā?
Here Iāll give you a formatting example!
INT. BACKGROUND NAME
&CHARACTERNAME stand screen center AND CHARACTERNAME faces right/left
&CHARACTERNAME2 stand screen center AND CHARACTERNAME2 faces right/left
This example of for 2 characters but you can always add more.
What Iāve done is right after the background change, Iāve placed the characters using the & sign, which makes them already be there right after the background change!
Hope this helps, if you have any other questions feel free to ask me! 
OMG!! Thank you soooo much!
after awhile of being frustrated i just added it to new outfits
No problem! Iām always happy to help with anything 
Thatās the only way to do it lol
