What does Auto-Advance do?

Auto-Advance helps Linus move to the next line after a short silence.

It is designed as a fallback option, so the scene can keep moving if Linus does not progress from your cue word or if you want to rehearse hands-free.

When should I use Auto-Advance?

Use Auto-Advance when:

  • you’re self-taping and don’t want to touch your phone
  • Linus is not moving forward on a cue word
  • you’re doing a longer line or monologue
  • you want the scene to move on after you finish speaking
  • you want a backup option while rehearsing hands-free
