Cannot get overlays to work!

Hey,
I’d appreciate some help on working out how to fix this. I’m trying to add two overlays to my background but nothing seems to work. Also, I’m trying to make both the overlays make the ‘clang’ sound when they enter. This only seems to work when I only use one overlay at a time. This is what my script currently looks like:

EXT. MOONSHINE DINER - NIGHT
@overlay TIME 1850 create
@overlay TIME 1850 330 -900 138 opacity 1 in 0
@overlay EXT MOONSHINE create
@overlay EXT MOONSHINE 330 -900 173 opacity 1 in 0
@pan to zone 2 in 3
@pause for 0.5
@overlay EXT MOONSHINE shifts to 10 173 in zone 2
sound clang
@pause for 0.5
@overlay TIME 1850 shifts to 10 138 in zone 2
sound clang

I’ve also tried writing it so that I start with “EXT. MOONSHINE DINER - NIGHT with EXT MOONSHINE with TIME 1850” - but that doesn’t work, either. I’m clearly doing something wrong, but I just can’t work it out!

Thanks for the help :slight_smile:

(PS: in case it’s confusing, my two overlays are called “EXT MOONSHINE” and “TIME 1850”).

Hey! I copied and pasted your script and I fixed the errors.

EXT. MG DINER - DAY with TIME 1850 with EXT MOONSHINE
&overlay EXT MOONSHINE shifts to -209 9
&overlay EXT MOONSHINE scales to 1.000 1.000
&overlay TIME 1850 shifts to -209 6
&overlay TIME 1850 scales to 1.000 1.000
@pan to zone 2 in 3
@pause for 0.5
@overlay EXT MOONSHINE shifts to 10 173 in zone 2
sound clang
@pause for 0.5
sound off
&overlay TIME 1850 shifts to 10 138 in zone 2
sound clang
