Car overlay- it's not showing up

Creator's Corner

In my story, I would like the MC’s friend to already be inside of the car, and the car already in the scene as the scene opens.

I’m kind of confused how overlays work, so I’m not exactly sure how to do this. I copy and pasted the beginning of a “car driving” template code, but the car isn’t showing up in the scene.

Here’s what the code is:
EXT. JULES HOUSE - DAY
@zoom reset
@overlay CAR ANGLE BROWN shifts to -311 0 in zone 1
@overlay CAR ANGLE BROWN scales to 1.000 1.000
@VANESSA spot 0.848 219 89 AND VANESSA faces right

Vanessa is in the scene, but the car is not, and I don’t know why.

Here’s what the scene looks like. (I changed the background)

Add zone 1 in scales at the end.
@overlay CAR ANGLE BROWN shifts to -311 0 in zone 1
@overlay CAR ANGLE BROWN scales to 1.000 1.000 in zone 1

Thanks for replying for fast!

I just tried that, and the car is still not appearing. :frowning:

Let me try it on mines. brb

Since I copy and pasted the code from a different template, maybe the car is in a really random spot in zone 1, but I’m not sure how to make it visable so I can re-scale it to where I need it.
