Duplicate overlay not visible even though opacity is at 1

Im trying to duplicate an arrow overlay but its not showing up , I’ve moved the overlay to where i should be able to see it on the preview and I’ve scaled it but its still not showing up how do i fix this.

My script

@transition fade out black in 3
music music_darkkeys
INT. FOREST2 - NIGHT with FOREST2OL with ARROW
&overlay 4580410739261440_FOREST2OL shifts to 225 30 in zone 2
&overlay 4580410739261440_FOREST2OL scales to 1.940 1.940
&cut to zone 3
&HUNTER1 spot 0.629 390 347 in zone 3 AND HUNTER1 moves to layer 3 AND HUNTER1 faces left
&MOM spot 0.629 390 347 in zone 3 AND MOM faces left AND CHILDWINTER spot 0.629 390 347 in zone 3 AND CHILDWINTER faces left
&zoom on 958 448 to 166% in 0

&overlay ARROW_2 create from ARROW
&overlay ARROW_2 opacity 1 in 0

&overlay ARROW_3 create from ARROW
&overlay ARROW_3 opacity 1 in 0

&overlay ARROW_4 create from ARROW
&overlay ARROW_4 opacity 1 in 0

&overlay ARROW_5 create from ARROW
&overlay ARROW_5 opacity 1 in 0

@transition fade in black in 3

Did you try moving it forward in layers?

Where the “FOREST2OL” is, is in a different zone (3). Im setting these arrows in zone 2. Theres nothing that should be infront of them but i can try to move them to the max layer, thank you for your suggestion!

I’m not sure, maybe part of the script is in the way? If I was you I would write it like this

@transition fade out black in 3
music music_darkkeys
INT. FOREST2 - NIGHT with FOREST2OL to 1.940 225 30 in zone 2 with ARROW
&cut to zone 3
&zoom on 958 448 to 166% in 0
&HUNTER1 spot 0.629 390 347 in zone 3 AND HUNTER1 moves to layer 3 AND HUNTER1 faces left
&MOM spot 0.629 390 347 in zone 3 AND MOM faces left AND CHILDWINTER spot 0.629 390 347 in zone 3 AND CHILDWINTER faces left

&overlay ARROW_2 create from ARROW
&overlay ARROW_2 opacity 1 in 0

&overlay ARROW_3 create from ARROW
&overlay ARROW_3 opacity 1 in 0

&overlay ARROW_4 create from ARROW
&overlay ARROW_4 opacity 1 in 0

&overlay ARROW_5 create from ARROW
&overlay ARROW_5 opacity 1 in 0

@transition fade in black in 3

Make sure the shifting, layer placement, and scaling of the duplicate overlays is between its create and opacity code. Make sure to remove the number parts of the code if you haven’t already.

Have you try reloading your script?

For some strange reason that coding has worked thank you so much! I never knew you could code the overlays on the line with the “with” where you place your backgrounds :sweat_smile:

I’m glad it did, glad to help!

That’s okay. I haven’t known that either for a while. Just read this thread for extra help whensoever in the future!
