Sometimes, scripts are so large that they can’t be sent to Rehearsal® Pro via email.

This is usually due to them being scanned in at too high a quality level than required, resulting in very large file sizes. Users then resort to using a cloud service, like Dropbox, to upload the script and send a link to the file.

Simply sending a link to a file you have stored (or have been given access to) in Dropbox won’t be visible to our servers. Don’t send an email to your script+username address with a Dropbox link – it won’t work.

You either need to attach the actual PDF of the script, or, if the script is too large to attach, follow the step-by-step directions below for adding the script from Dropbox:

1. Make sure you have the Dropbox app. You can get it from the iTunes App Store. It’s free.
2. Using the Dropbox app, upload your script and view it (or view a script you’ve been given access to) on your iPhone or iPad.
3. Tap on the three-dot menu icon in the upper right, then choose Export from the list of options.
4. On the lower row of icons, tap on the icon that looks like the App Store, labeled Open in.
5. Look for the Rehearsal® Pro icon in the list of apps, labeled Copy to Rehearsal® Pro, then tap on it to add your script.
6. You’ll be immediately transferred to the script in Rehearsal® Pro, already open the Add New Script area. Tap the Add button in the upper right hand corner to add it to your library of scripts.

To start rehearsing with a script in Rehearsal® Pro, the first step is adding the script to your My Scripts library of scripts. The most common way to do this is to email your script to your script+USERNAME email address. In a few minutes, your script will show up in your Add New Script area, ready to be added, prepped and rehearsed.

Here’s a video that shows you how, with a step-by-step below that:

Step by step

1. Forward the email containing your script PDF file as an attachment to your script+USERNAME email address you were given when you registered with the Rehearsal® Pro app.
2. Wait for the confirmation email that tells you the script is waiting to be added. Once you get that, go to the Rehearsal® Pro app, and tap on the Add New Script button toward the top of the Main Menu.
3. You should see the new script at the top of the list.

The My Scenes button on Rehearsal® Pro leads you to the screen that allows you to manage and edit all of the scenes you’ve recorded for rehearsal.

Remember, once you’ve finished highlighting your lines and adding any other markup, only then will you create your scene(s) by recording them. And only then will those recorded scenes be stored in My Scenes, listed under each script you’ve got. Until you record your first scene, there will be no listing of scenes under My Scenes. As you record more scenes, and as you add more scenes from more scripts, your listings in My Scenes will grow accordingly.
