You need to specify the coordinates after the scale, for example something like 2.080 134 86

You need to specify the zone, and the layer, same with Male hand left LL

It won’t work, i did it with my all overlays

When you add the location of an overlay in your title, you need to specify the scale and coordinates,
with FEMALE HANDS LL to 2.080 2.086

This only specifies the scale ^
ol

The set of two numbers on top the scale, is what you want to put after the 2.080

I still don’t understand

#7

Okay so, in your title when you add the overlays location to it, it should look something like this

INT. BACKGROUND with JASP CUP HAND to 0.154 72 255

ol

As you can see in this photo, when I used the previewer to shift and scale my overlay, it’ll give me a guide!
I used the scale number (bottom one) and put it in front of my shift number when I placed its location in my backgrounds title.

Your issue is that you aren’t putting the shift numbers in your bg title, you only put the scale.
with FEMALE HANDS LL to 2.080 2.086
The bold number should be replaced with the shift of your overlay

Does this make sense now?

yes thank you

#9

but what about the layers

#10

INT. HALLWAY DARK - DAY with FEMALE HANDS LL to 2.080 2.086 in zone 2 at layer 1 with MALE HAND RIGHT LL to 1.612 1.612 0 in zone ( #) at layer 2 with MALE HAND LEFT LL to 1.720 0 1.720 in zone ( #) at layer 6

Once you fix the shift, you’ll just have to add the zone number before you specify the layer it moves to.
