There is enough time between the fade and the next music and for some reason “music music_sadvamp” is not playing, but the previous music is working, I used the fade in the previous music. Here’s a snip of my script.

&ALLISON walks to spot 1.028 72 178 in zone 1 in 2.5 and ALLISON starts walk_exhausted

ALLISON

(Thanks idiot!)
@pause for a beat

@pause for 1.5

volume music 0 2000
@transition fade out black 2

INT. DOOR CLOSE with EFFECT DIM 60
@zoom on 101 445 to 124% in 0
@pause for a beat
@ALLISON spot 0.794 313 240 and ALLISON faces left
@ALLISON walks to spot 0.794 146 240 and ALLISON starts walk_exhausted

@ALLISON starts tinker_loop_rear

@pause for a beat

&TRISTAN spot 0.632 160 315 and TRISTAN faces left and TRISTAN starts idle_awkward
&ALLISON spot 0.794 98 237 and ALLISON faces left and ALLISON starts rear

Since you faded the music out, the volume is now at level 0. So you have to turn the volume back up.

so when I add the next music volume music 100 1000?
