After you import a script, StudioBinder automatically assigns characters to the scenes they have dialogue in, but what about the characters who don't speak? You can assign them easily by using the navigation strip in breakdowns.

Step 1 — Cast Member ID's

Cast Member ID's are listed in your Navigation Strip based on who speaks in the scene. Click the ID Number to access the cast member menu.

Step 2 — Assign Existing Cast Members

Check off the box next to a silent Characters name to assign them to a scene.

Step 3 — Create New Character

Click Add Cast in the bottom left of the menu to create a new character. Give the character a name, an ID number, and click Create.
