Hey! For shaking while a character is doing an animation:

&zoom on x y in .1
&zoom on x y in .1

So, what’s going on here is you’re zooming on the farthest side of the zone, and then zooming to the opposite side. For example:

&zoom on 0 345 in .1
&zoom on (coordinates of the opposite side)

It’s important to remember the “&” command when doing an animation or having dialogue while zooming or animating an overlay! The “&” command allows you to zoom and animate overlays at the same time as the dialogue and animations. But be sure to put the zoom commands before the actual animation/dialogue!

Hope this helps a bit!

I also recommend watching Joseph Evans on YouTube to get some beginner tips for coding :))

So for overlays Lets say for example your line of code is
INT. ICE BATH BATHROOM - NIGHT with SHOWER HEAD
(This is acually from my upcoming story lol)
You add the background then add “with” no caps Then the name of your overlay
if you save and preview go to more helpers, then spot directing and there should be an option for overlays at the bottom right vlick that and you can move your overlay anywhere and change the size. then under the preview box you should be able to copy the lines of code then paste it into your story… Hope this helped im not the best but i try Lol

For the camera shake:

Of course, you can change the coordinates to whatever suits your scene. :relaxed:

For camera shake during dialogues/animations, you would need to replace “@“ with “&” and code it on one line before the scream:
&zoom on x y to % in s THEN zoom on x y to % in s THEN zoom on x y to % in s THEN zoom on x y to % in s (add however many you need).
