With me…

After the part
INT. JUVIE WELLES BEDROOM - DAY with TEARS in zone 2

You have to specify the scale (size) and shift (where it’s supposed to be placed.)

So it’s supposed to look like this

    INT. JUVIE WELLES BEDROOM - DAY with TEARS in zone 2
    &overlay TEARS shifts to x in zone x in 0
    &overlay TEARS scales to x in zone x in 0

Could you write an example? :relaxed:

okay wait give me a few mins ^^

@AAepisode in my script it shows the overlay because after I typed in the bg with overlay I put the shift and scale bellow


INT. BG R BY EPISODEXLOVERXREBECCA with ANIME EYES in zone 2
&overlay ANIME EYES shifts to 151 374 in zone 2
&overlay ANIME EYES scales to 0.115 0.115
&cut to zone 2 and zoom on 469 418 to 241% in 0
&GERTRUDE stands screen center AND GERTRUDE faces right AND GERTRUDE is idle_happy

If you don’t know how to move your overlay, go to directing helper then click overlay helper, drag your mouse in the previewer or where u can see what’s going on and drag your mouse around until you can see your overlays.

did it worked?

Okay so idk how to explain it but I am gonna give it a try.

So ur idea did work, so thank you so much!! I copied what u wrote, and pasted it in my script, and replased the names an overlay. And then I found it on the screen (finaly!) and moved it on where I wanted it to be. Then I wrote its new place in my script. Then I saved it, and now it´s gone, the whole overlay is gone in the script, it wont show up

Can you show me the new script that you wrote?

Hello @AAepisode, this is Sydney the moderator. Welcome to the forum. :smiley: Moved this to Directing Helps and Tips since it involves coding. Make sure to check out our Forum Tutorial for more info about where to correctly create topics, and feel to PM me if there are any questions. :wink:

I’m not so sure with your script… Your script seems fine to me, @JemU776 and @Dara.Amarie can help ^^

You cut to zone 2, so you need to add zone 2 to the shift commands.

Thank you so much!!

But how do I make it fade out?

@overlay TEAR opacity 0 in T

*T stands for the time, in seconds (so replace T with a number)
