I have a scene in my story that has two people in car with a loop background. But when I preview that scene, my characters pop up slowly/delayed. Fore example, it takes Rhea to get to her spot and a few seconds later Kai pops up.

EXT. MOUNTAIN ROAD CAR LOOP - DAY with CAR ANGLE SILVER

@overlay CAR ANGLE SILVER shifts to -394 -50 in zone 1
@overlay CAR ANGLE SILVER scales to 1.000 1.000
@overlay CAR ANGLE SILVER moves to layer 4

@zoom on 150 184 to 135% in 3

@RHEA changes into RHEA_PREGNANT2

@RHEA previews hairColor Brunette Brown

@KAI changes into KAI_pjs

@RHEA spot 1.244 103 -119 in zone 1 AND RHEA is idle_pregnant_tired_loop
@RHEA moves to layer 3

@KAI spot 1.271 209 -110 in zone 1 AND KAI is idle_cigarette_worried_loop
@KAI moves to layer 3 AND KAI faces right

Can somebody please help me with this?
