Hi! I need everyone’s help. I am trying to create a scene in my story where a car is driving on the road. I found the background of the highway I want from Episode and the overlay of the car too, but I am lost on how to code it so it shows the car is moving with the moving background.
Here is the background name and overlay name:
Background: EXT. CITY HIGHWAY LOOP - DAY
Overlay: EXT. LUXURY CAR RED PROFILE - DAY create
Any help would be great! Thank you so much!
How would you like your scene to be?
Could you send a picture of the car overlay?
Do you want to overlay move WITH a looping background?
You want the car to drive into/out of the scene or you plan to have the whole scene focus on the car just “driving” on the road which happens to be the looping background? 
If you want the latter, you won’t need to move the car around in the scene because the looping background already creates the illusion that the car is moving along.
OK so all you’ll need to do is shift the overlay to the position you want the car to go. For the moving background, you have 2 options:
1 - Use a looping road background ( No movement with the car overlay is needed)
2 - Use a regular background and pan to zone 1 in time (you’ll have to cut to zone 1 if you want your car to move left)
Okay, so how do I code it? Both the background and overlay have EXT. in the beginning
How do I code this? Can you please show me?
What @schittwriter said! Since you chose a looping background, all you’ll need to do is position the car on the road you’re done.
I want the scene to look like the car is driving on the highway. The background I chose is a looping background.
Ofc!
So I’d code it like this:
EXT. CITY HIGHWAY LOOP - DAY
@overlay LUXURY CAR RED PROFILE - DAY create and overlay LUXURY CAR RED PROFILE - DAY opacity 1 and overlay LUXURY CAR RED PROFILE - DAY shifts to x y and overlay LUXURY CAR RED PROFILE - DAY scales to x x
Thank you so much! It worked! You are amazing! 
Thank you! Anytime, love <3
