In my script, I have five characters who are supposed to walk down the hall while taking turns talking and adding to the conversation. I’ve already done the pan thing but there always a character that shows up too late and a text bubble that doesn’t pop up fast enough. I’m not sure what to do? I only need a script template because this is confusing for me lmao 
thanks!
the problem with walking/ talking is that it depends on how quick reader tapps. Therefore it works best if it is on looping background than the readers tapps speed do not matter. But you as I understand cant use it due to specific backgroud. So show me the script I will check if I can adjust it to be more smooth.

i have a feeling the places where i put the walking stuff is wrong. but i was busy focusing on a different part of the chapter so i pushed this off until last minute. oh, and the character bea doesn’t have to be the camera focus, it’s truly not important.
ok so first problem I see that you walk them ut you haven’t spot them before you walk them
so the script doesn’t know from where they should walk ad it than might look random- you need to first spot them all offscreen and only after that give them walking command.
This would be really ideal for looping BG - unfortunately, this one isn’t… I will try to modify it for you to make it more smooth at last.
