Guys maybe I am stupid but I don’t know what do to with this problem :grin: I am coding gif into overlays, but I have problem with placing. Every time I set shifts and scales and it looks okay I set like this all 44 overlayers and save. And then those overlayers appears on completelly different place :hear_no_evil: Usually too high above the spot I needed or too low. Never on the right spot I want. I don’t know what to do with this coding anymore. I re-coded like 1000 times :cold_sweat: Am I doing there some obvious mistake? And I wanna also mention I don’t have more then 1 zone on this background.

Code of placing:

Thank you for your tip. My background wasn’t black, but thanks to your script I decided go through my script one more time and I found out I had zoom on :see_no_evil: my stupidness :grin: in the app when I am trying the story and I am switching from one scene to another, when there is zoom in one scene, it always stick to the other scene even if there is not set any. That is annoying. It didn’t happened to me long time so first it didn’t occur to me :hear_no_evil:
