Question (though I don’t know if Dara still reads this forum) – my words don’t appear, no matter what I do. I used my own custom overlay, and when that didn’t work, I tried a few different normal overlays Episode provides. I’ve attached the part of my script below (but took out a few of the boring details). I bolded the parts that use the overlay commands.
Summary
INT. PHOTOSHOOT - DAY with GREEN BABY SWADDLE to 0.467 105 513 in zone 2 at layer 4
&YOU spot 0.903 161 173 in zone 2 at layer 1 and GRAMPS spot 1.000 432 125 in zone 3 at layer 0 and cut to zone 2 and zoom reset
@YOU changes into FEMALE_NAKED
@transition fade in white 0.5
&overlay GREEN BABY SWADDLE create text YOUR SKIN TONE

Now it’s time to customize yourself.
Your skin colour name will show above your head when you pick it – this will come in handy later!
label female_custom_1
@YOU spot 2.400 170 -520 and YOU faces right and YOU starts idle

The overlay create text command is treated the same way as the overlay create command. You need to add the opacity command to make the overlay appear. You will also need to use the shifts and scales command. Adding the overlay to the background name doesn’t work for text overlays.
So I’ve got this now:
Summary
INT. PHOTOSHOOT - DAY
&overlay GREEN BABY SWADDLE create
&overlay GREEN BABY SWADDLE scales to 0.467 0.467 in zone 2 at layer 4
&overlay GREEN BABY SWADDLE shifts to 105 513 in zone 2
&overlay GREEN BABY SWADDLE opacity 1 in 0
@overlay GREEN BABY SWADDLE create text YOUR SKIN TONE
&YOU spot 0.903 161 173 in zone 2 at layer 1 and GRAMPS spot 1.000 432 125 in zone 3 at layer 0 and cut to zone 2 and zoom reset
But it’s still not changing into the text. There’s just a baby swaddle hovering in the air (lol). Any idea where I’m going wrong this time?
Oh my god you’re a LIFESAVER. Thanks so much - it worked! I don’t know why I thought I’d need the overlay in place to begin with. I have no idea what I’d do without all your tutorials!

No problem 
Also, the zone only needs to be added to the shifts command. It’s not needed on the scales command. And the layer has it’s own command: @overlay OVERLAY to layer #
Oh, thanks! That’ll definitely help streamline the process. You’re the best!

@Dara.Amarie
Did you shift and scale it to the spot you want?
