Background showes up before the fade

Hey, I’ve been trying my best to start a new story and somehow the background shows up shortly before the fade but everything else is fine.
I need some help :sweat_smile:

INT. BLACK - NIGHT
NARRATOR (YOU)
My life was never supposed to be like this.

INT. DANCE FLOOR WITH STAGE

FILTER: Rose Goggles

@set hsl -15 52 7 colorize with blendMode OVERLAY to 55%

Your filter will be enabled for every scene after this line

To turn off the filter, use “@reset hsl” or “@reset hsl in [# of seconds]”

@cut to zone 1

@YOU spot 0.860 116 213 in zone 1 at layer 1 AND YOU faces right

@MOLLY spot 1.838 415 -420 in zone 1 at layer 3

#clothes {}

@add Tumbler Glass Glass Yellow to YOU
@YOU starts sip_cup_happy

@transition fade in black in 1

&MOLLY walks to spot 1.555 -100 -140 in zone 1 in 3 AND MOLLY is walk_neutral_loop_rear AND MOLLY faces right
@zoom on 79 332 to 150% in 2

&YOU starts dance_groove_happy_loop
@remove Tumbler Glass Glass Yellow from YOU

I didn’t have this issue with other stories, so I’m really confused what’s wrong here.
Thank you for the help!

All your commands before the transition should begin with & (except the prop addition)

@set hsl… add ‘in 0’ to the end of that line. By default it runs for 1 second before continuing.
