Hey guys!
I was just wondering how to make my characters appear in a scene straight away?
From example -
When I start a new scene with a different background, the characters always take a few seconds to pop up.
I’ve seen in stories that it’s possible to have characters already in scenes, I just can’t figure it out
This is the coding -
INT. BLUE SCHOOL HALLWAY - DAY @zoom on 0 235 to 112% in 0 @transition iris in 5 @zoom on 0 235 to 112% in 0
&CHARLOTTE spot 0.749 235 214 AND AMBER is talk_unsure @AMBER faces right
&AMBER spot 0.749 166 210 AND AMBER is listen
&VIOLET spot 0.749 -86 215
You need to put your characters, zooms and cuts before the transition and use the & sign:
INT. BLUE SCHOOL HALLWAY - DAY
&CHARLOTTE spot 0.749 235 214
&AMBER spot 0.749 166 210 AND AMBER faces right AND AMBER is animation *
&VIOLET spot 0.749 -86 215
&zoom on 0 235 to 112% in 0 @transition iris in black in 5
You can’t use the & sign before the transition command.
