Session 0.5

Hi I'm starting a new campaign for four of my friends and since none of them played RED (one played DnD) I thout about smth I called session 0.5 (maybe it's already named and I'm jest not knowledgeable). That before staring a session 1 with all players I would meet with them individually for about 0.5-1 hour to let them play their characters doing some super simple gig to let them learn the ropes in less overwhelming invaroment. Also introduce their individual motivations. Is it a good idea or ease of time?
