Play through a project’s planned beats with a timed cue card for the current shot, screen text and audio cue. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Projects and choose a story with planned beats. 2. Tap Rehearse this story, then start the rehearsal clock. 3. Pause, restart and review the full rundown before returning to your production plan. Projects, coverage, delivery profiles and production-packet exports remain available. WHAT TO KNOW Rehearsal follows planned durations; it does not record video or audio, perform an edit or verify a take. It pauses when the app becomes inactive. The project and take log are unchanged. iPhone and iPad.
