What can I do in Run Lines?

Rehearse out loud

Run the scene opposite the other character voices so you can practise your lines in rhythm.

Use playback controls

Swipe up from the bottom to open the control panel. From there, you can play, pause, go back, skip forward, loop a section, or change how Linus moves to the next line.

Work on specific sections

You can set a start and end point if you only want to rehearse part of the scene.

Adjust individual lines

Tap the three dots beside a line to open line options. From there, you can edit the line, change the character, adjust speed, add a beat, use Line Read, or set Timed Advance.

Learn lines more actively

Use tools like Line Stacking, Cue Word, and Auto-Advance to support how you like to rehearse.
