Help with moving my overlay

Hi, I want help to fix this :frowning: I don’t know why episode mark this error if I literally I’ve copy and paste the code to move my overlay and my overlay does not appear on the screen.

Thank u

This is my script:
EXT. URBAN ROAD LOOPING BLURRED - NIGHT with POLICE- CAR to 1.410 -707 -24 in zone 1 with MOTO- ALE AND MOI to 0.952 -311 56 in zone 1

@zoom reset
@cut to zone 1

@overlay 4711113148268544_MOTO- ALE AND MOI shifts to 314 41 in zone 1 in 2
@overlay 4711113148268544_MOTO- ALE AND MOI scales to 0.952 0.952

I learned the hard way that you can’t have the word “and” in your overlay names. That might be giving you the error

Edit: I’d also add “in 2” after your scaling as well so it’s going at the same pace as the shifting, otherwise it might get jumpy.

Maybe you could try creating the overlays inside the code instead? Like this:

EXT. URBAN ROAD LOOPING BLURRED - NIGHT
&overlay POLICE- CAR create AND overlay POLICE- CAR opacity 1 in 0 AND overlay POLICE- CAR scales to 1.41 1.41 AND overlay POLICE- CAR shifts to -707 -24 in zone 1

etc

@zoom reset
@cut to zone 1

@overlay 4711113148268544_MOTO- ALE AND MOI shifts to 314 41 in zone 1 in 2
@overlay 4711113148268544_MOTO- ALE AND MOI scales to 0.952 0.952

you cant have AND in name of the overlay - because then the scritp reads it as commans AND ant what is after AND is seen as something else

if you need to have AND in thr overlay name do it like this:

MOTO_ALE_AND_MOI
then will the script see it as one word

God, that’s true I’ll have to rename my overlay.
Thank u <3
