Edit lines, pictures and scenes

Open a scene

In the Script tab, click a line. The scene opens with its narration, an optional label, the description of its picture, and buttons to redraw or play it.

Rewrite a line

Edit the narration text directly. The line is re-recorded automatically together with its neighbors, so the voice stays consistent and does not sound pasted in.

Keep the line about the same length if you can. Each scene shows its picture for as long as its line takes to say.

Redraw a picture

If a picture is wrong, change its description and click Redraw picture. Only that scene is redrawn, with the same character and style.

1. Describe one clear action: who is in the picture, what they are doing, their expression and the setting.
2. Say where things are: “the character on the left, the emperor on the right”.
3. Avoid asking for words inside the picture. Use a label instead (below), which stays sharp and readable.
4. Click Redraw picture.

Add a label

Labels are short hand-lettered words at the top of a scene, like a date, a name or a key term (“URINE TAX”, “77,000 YEARS”). Use Add label on a scene. Keep them to one to three words.

Add, insert or delete scenes

Use Add scene at the bottom of the script to add one at the end. To put a scene in the middle, open the ⋯ menu on the scene before it and choose Insert scene after. The same menu has Delete scene.

New scenes get a picture and narration automatically once you write their line and description.
