then when preview
in the preveiw box it has these blue and white taps

  • CLICK
  • [Show helpers]
  • [Spot Directing]
  • [Change overlay]

when over lay is at the spot you want it COPY IT Screen Shot 2020-12-28 at 9.41.33 PM
then paste it right below the prevoius line

EX:
@overlay (NAME OF OVERLAY) create
@overlay (NAME OF OVERLAY) opacity 1
@overlay (NAME OF OVERLAY) shifts to -48 77 in zone 1
@overlay (NAME OF OVERLAY) scales to 0.007 0.007
@overlay (NAME OF OVERLAY) moves to layer 1

when it is copied normaly you get numbers before the overlay name
that part us useless and you dont need it

the best way to do it is add this script

@overlay OVERLAY create
@overlay OVERLAY opacity 1

@pause for 983347084378723549

then i would go into preview and move it myself
then I would copy the code under it
and paste it under the privies code

would look like this
@overlay OVERLAY create
@overlay OVERLAY opacity 1
@overlay OVERLAY shifts to -48 77 in zone 1
@overlay OVERLAY scales to 0.007 0.007
@overlay OVERLAY moves to layer 1

If you are doing multiple overlays I would use ‘&’ instead of ‘@’
like

example

&overlay LEGOS 1 create
&overlay LEGOS 1 opacity 1
&overlay LEGOS 1 shifts to 25 32 in zone 2
&overlay LEGOS 1 scales to 0.074 0.074
&overlay LEGOS 1 moves to layer 3

&overlay LEGOS 2 create
&overlay LEGOS 2 opacity 1
&overlay LEGOS 2 shifts to 266 121 in zone 1
&overlay LEGOS 2 scales to 0.054 0.054
&overlay LEGOS 2 moves to layer -2

&overlay LEGOS 3 create
&overlay LEGOS 3 opacity 1
&overlay LEGOS 3 shifts to 306 57 in zone 1
&overlay LEGOS 3 scales to 0.233 0.233
&overlay LEGOS 3 moves to layer 0

Sorry you need to add a long pause for you to do this

This is from another thread !~
