Help with overlay needed

Hi! I want my over lay to move on screen neatly
I thought I had it sussed, but it’s painfully slow
I wanted the bus and character to move as the screen fade black, I did try the & symbol and putting it above the overlays, but it didn’t work
Where have I gone wrong?

EXT. BUS STOP EVENING - NIGHT with BUS
@overlay 4963897588973568_BUS shifts to -548 -192 in zone 1
@overlay 4963897588973568_BUS scales to 3.124 3.124 in zone 1
@zoom on 320 389 to 190% in 0
&MARTHA spot 0.840 268 216 AND MARTHA faces left AND MARTHA is idle_sad_loop
@transition fade in black 2
MARTHA (idle_sad_loop)
(No going back now, I need to see this through, time to be brave)
&zoom on 0 0 to 100% in 4

Have just messaged her, hopefully she can help, it’s still not working for me, the bus moves then it fade out, but I want it to fade as the bus moves :stuck_out_tongue:

You can use the transition before the movement instead of using it at last?

Tried it, didn’t make a difference :confused:

Decrease the time limit
Instead of 2,use 1/0.9
See if it works

Didn’t work either :confused:

&BUS shifts to x y in 4
&CHAR walks to spot x y in 4
@transition fade out 2

If you want overlays or characters to move whilst transitioning scenes you need to use the & before the transition. A @ will just pause the script
