How do I make a scene fade in without showing the characters for a second beforehand?

[nol.a]

So I want to start a scene like this:

• The scene fades in
• It pans from zone 2 to zone 4
• The characters are in their positions

So the only problem I’m having is that for a brief second, my main character appears in front of the background, THEN the fade in and pan happen, any ideas on how to fix this? here’s my script for context

u should put all of the actions before the fading happen in “&” (ampersand)

[BlauwStories03]

all of the things that I put an arrow on change it to &

[nol.a]

Thanks! I actually realized my mistake before you replied, thanks though!
