Please somebody help me because my overlays just won’t BEHAVE themselves as their always glitching whether i put: INT/EXT BACKGROUND - DAY/NIGHT with OVERLAY or i do
@overlay _____ create
@overlay _____ opacity _
I never noticed it at first because it never glitched on my laptop but when i previewed the story on my phone 
when i say glitch i mean like the overlay is all over the place for a second then goes into place 
You should watch Joseph Evans on youtube, he has a video about overlays maybe it can help you? 
Can you post a screenshot of your script?
If you’re using the “@overlay OL ___” commands, make sure you use the & sign instead of the @ sign. You also need to add “in 0” at the ends of the shifts, scales, and opacity commands.
i have but my situation is still the same 
thanks a lot though xx
I actually have a question, I know how to direct overlays but when I put it in a specfic place and I preview it. first I see the overlay somehwere else or really big but then in a quick flash it’s in the place I typed it in. And I have the coding right under the background and Idk if I’m doing somthing wrong or that’s normal
You’re issue could be what I posted above. Can you post a screenshot of your script too?
Yess that’s exactly my problem!!
Yea so you need to use the & sign for lines 615 and 616 and add “in 0” at the end of both lines
Or you can just add the scale and shift coordinates with the background name
INT. CAFETERIA TABLE OL - DAY with INT.TABLE to 1.828 -67 -257
Use the & sign for all of those overlay commands and add “in 0” at the end of the shifts, scales and opacity commands
Or you can delete all the overlay commands and just add the overlay to the background name
INT. MALL BASEMENT - DAY with ROPES to 0.106 34 291 in zone 1 at layer 5
Thank you sm!!
