Hey guys it’s been a while. So as the title says i need someone who’s really kind enough to cut this sofa/couch overlay from this bg for me because I want my characters to look like they’re sitting down, watching tv. Here is the living room bg
If anyone wants to, help me, reply to this thread or pm me in private on here and I’ll obviously credit them in my story or on my Instagram story.
If the bg isn’t big enough, I’ll send you it in a bigger version
Anyways I hope everyone is good and staying safe

Well this is my first time trying to use 2 overlays at the same time and I was wondering how to code it. Ik a little bit bc I just read Dara Amarie website about it but it’s still a but confusing to me

Okay, would you like the overlays with the scene in the very beginning or in mid-scene?

At the beginning because 4 of my characters would be sitting down, watching tv.

oh well its just:
INT/EXT. BACKGROUND - NIGHT/DAY with OVERLAYNAME with OVERLAYNAME
That’s it? I wouldn’t need to resize them or anything?
you don’t need to resize them, but make sure the overlays are over your characters or behind. For example, let’s say the sofa is at layer 0, the smaller part of the sofa (that is supposed to be in the very front) should be at, say, layer 10.
You would have to write →
INT. BACKGROUND - DAY/NIGHT with OVERLAY1 at layer 0 with OVERLAY2 at layer 10
And then place your characters on layers between 0-10.
EDIT: USUALLY* you don’t have to resize. But if the overlays don’t stay in place from the start, you’ll have to. Come back to this thread if they’re not in place.
Ohh ok I think I got it now, thank you
What I put after the background and overlay in the scene is afterwards put:
@overlay OVERLAYNAME opacity # AND overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to x y in zone # AND overlay
OVERLAYNAME scales to % % AND overlay OVERLAYNAME to layer #
or include something similar to this in the very first line with the background and overlay create command, like @/Castilia17 said.

I can’t work with overlays for shit when I have to move them, I always end up copying the script from under the previewer because I don’t know how to insert the numbers from there into this format:
Like, the previewer gives you the coordinates, but how do you paste them where they belong? (because when I copy that thing, you know it’s a lot of lines and commands, when it could be done in 1 command
