When you go to characters, for the character YOU, you will see:

Script Name: YOU
Display Name: YOU

Whatever I bolded has to be the display name.

And yeah when you write [YOU] in your script, the name that the reader selected will show.

The display name is the name that the reader sees.
The script name is the name that you would write in your script.

Here’s an example:

Script Name: AMANDA
Display Name: LIA

In your script:

AMANDA
Hey, I’m Lia.

You write AMANDA in your script, but the readers see LIA since that is the name being displayed.

Does anyone know how you make a character run offset while saying something? And how to make it seem like the room is darker? Thank you!

5575

&CHAR exits left and CHAR does it while run_athletic
CHAR
dialog here
there is an animation for running while talking but off the top of my head I can’t remember lol you will need to search it

Re: darker room. There is an overlay in the catalog called EFFECT DIM 60 - you can use it like this:
INT. BACKGROUND with EFFECT DIM 60 at layer 3
(Make sure to place the overlay at the highest layer so your characters are behind it)

You need a dialogue and word choice, also your brackets are messed up

NARR
Dialouge
choice
“Let’s wait here”{
#scene

}“Bish you gotta stop this”{
#scene

}

5584

Hiya,

I need help with directing zones in the mobile app, I have a character in zone 1 and the camera pans to zone 3 where two other characters are - but for spotting purposes how can I move the camera to zone 3 to direct the other characters? It’s like I can only direct in zone 1 :open_mouth:

Please help.

5587

Did you swipe on the screen?

5588

Yeah, I’ve tried everything I can think of. But it’ll only stay in zone 1
I’m new with directing but I feel like I’m missing something extremely obvious :sweat_smile:

What bg are you using?

5590

I’m using

INT. SEA HOME - DAY

5591

This was probably already answered but it’s back far right/left.
So it would be

@NICK stands back far left AND NICK faces right

5592

Huh? That bg isn’t on mobile.
