I have a unwantet pause

Can somebody please tell me what I’m doing wrong here?

See my script down below.

I would like the NARRATOR (PRIEST)to start talking, as soon as I cut to zone 3 in the graveyard (and I know that it’s all black, because there are only 2 zones, but I like to have the black background for this).

But it takes quite a while, before the text appears.

Any suggestions?

@pan to zone 1
AUTHOR (talk_agree_happy)
Wow you look good! I think you are ready to step right into the story!
@transition fade out black in 2

EXT. GRAVEYARD - DAY
@cut to zone 3

@PRIEST stands screen right in zone 2 AND PRIEST faces left
@FEMALEAVATAR changes into FEMALEAVATAR_begravelse
@FEMALEAVATAR stands screen left in zone 2

@DAVID stands screen center in zone 1 AND DAVID is idle_rear
@TIA changes into TIA_Begravelse
@TIA stands screen right in zone 1 AND TIA is idle_rear
@PETER BLOOM stands screen left in zone 1 AND PETER BLOOM is idle_rear
@ELAINE stands screen right in zone 1 AND ELAINE is idle_rear
NARRATOR (PRIEST)
We are gathered here to say farewell to Charlotte and Ethan Williams and to commit them into the hands of God.
@cut to zone 1
@PRIEST is idle
&FEMALEAVATAR is idle_rear

option 1

In place of cutting to zone 3 you can also use the background INT. BLACK - DAY


option 2
Or you can place the narrator under @FEMALEAVATAR stands screen left in zone 2, so, that the NARRATOR starts a bit earlier with talking.


option 3

Or you can split the text in 2 or 3 parts so for example

@PRIEST stands screen right in zone 2 AND PRIEST faces left
@FEMALEAVATAR changes into FEMALEAVATAR_begravelse
@FEMALEAVATAR stands screen left in zone 2
@DAVID stands screen center in zone 1
@TIA changes into TIA_Begravelse
@TIA stands screen right in zone 1
@PETER BLOOM stands screen left in zone 1
@ELAINE stands screen right in zone 1

NARRATOR (PRIEST)
We are gathered here…

@DAVID is idle_rear AND TIA is idle_rear AND PETER BLOOM is idle_rear AND ELAINE is idle_rear

NARRATOR (PRIEST)
to say farewell to Charlotte

@PETER is cry…___ or something else

NARRATOR (PRIEST)
and Ethan Williams and to commit them into the hands of God.

@cut to zone 1
@PRIEST is idle
&FEMALEAVATAR is idle_rear
