Cover a part of something with overlays

[JemU776]

No problem!

Also, can have a look at this:

For overlays this command is possible when you want them at a layer (this is for when you want to position them a certain way):

@Dara.Amarie

INT. BACKGROUND NAME - DAY with OVERLAYNAME to % x y in zone # at layer #

What these symbols mean:

@Dara.Amarie

OVERLAYNAME is the overlay name
x coordinate is where the overlay is placed on the screen horizontally (side to side)
y coordinate is where the overlay is placed on the screen vertically (up and down)
% is the scale size
T stands for time in seconds
# means “number”

So, for example when you test out your story, move your overlay around and look at your overlay helper on the side, you’ll see these codes:

@Dara.Amarie

@overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to 196 223
@overlay OVERLAYNAME scales to 1.0 1.0

196 is the x coordinate, 223 is the y coordinate, and 1.0 is the scales size (%)

Now, let’s plug these numbers into INT. BACKGROUND NAME - DAY with OVERLAYNAME to % x y in zone # at layer # as well as replace # with a number.

Here it is:

INT. BACKGROUND NAME - DAY with OVERLAYNAME to 1.0 196 223 in zone 1 at layer 0

Btw, you’d use an existing background of your choice for your scene, as well as an overlay that exists. And these were just example numbers, you will probably come up with different numbers, playing around.
