Coding help required!

Hey guys!🙋
I am coding for a sequence where my main character is standing in between and the 2 versions of her…devil and angel fade in to her left and right. I read a lot about fading characters but I just can’t get it right.
Please help!!!:sob:

you need overlay created from the background. Do you have it?

Put the main character to layer 3 ( or higher)
Put overlay on layer 2
Put the angel and devil on layer 1

And then just change opacity of the overlay.

Here’s my code.

OK I see several small mistakes
Can you copy it here instead so I can redo it?

Yes. I’ll do that in 15 mins.:blush:

@transition fade out black 3
INT. BLACK - NIGHT
@transition fade in black 3
@speechbubble is 162 258 to 100%
NARRATOR
Meanwhile at the Phoenix Mansion.
@transition fade out black 5
EXT. GAZEBO POOL HOUSE - NIGHT with INT. EP at layer 2
@overlay INT. EP opacity 1

@REESE spot 1.052 162 48 in zone 2 at layer 3 AND REESE starts cry_sob_sad_loop
@overlay INT. EP create

&overlay INT. EP shifts to layer 2

@cut to zone 2
@REESE D changes into reese_d
@REESE A changes into reese_a
@REESE spot 1.052 162 48 in zone 2 at layer 3 AND REESE starts cry_sob_sad_loop
@REESE D spot 1.052 263 47 in zone 2 at layer 1
@REESE A spot 1.052 59 43 in zone 2 at layer 1
@transition fade in black 5
@cut to zone 2
@REESE D changes into reese_d
@REESE A changes into reese_a
@REESE spot 1.052 162 48 in zone 2 at layer 3 AND REESE starts cry_sob_sad_loop
@pause for 2
REESE (idle_sad_timid_loop)
What did I do to deserve so much hate?
REESE (cry_sniff_sad_loop)
Why does no one understand?
@REESE spot 1.052 162 48 in zone 2 AND REESE moves to layer 3 AND REESE starts cry_sob_sad_loop
&REESE D spot 1.052 263 47 AND REESE D moves to layer 1
&REESE A spot 1.052 59 43 AND REESE A faces right AND REESE A moves to layer 1
@overlay INT. EP opacity 1
@pause for a beat
REESE D (talk_armscrossed_condescending_loop)
Because they think they are better than you.

you have lot of doubled command which has no reason to be there also you created the overlay 2 times and there is no reason for it

if oyu make transition on the start of the scene use all commands that can be with & above it (accept commands like changing clothes which do not work with &)
