I know how to put overlays in my scenes I just say “with OVERLAY” but I dont know how to put them certin places without it being to complicated pls help and if someone knows how to put characters behind and infrount of overlays can you tell me that to?
here is example INT. POLICE STATION 2 - DAY with DESK POLICE to 1.000 48 86
you start by taking you background with the overlay
INT. POLICE STATION 2 - DAY with DESK POLICE
then you move it at screen you will get this
@overlay DESK POLICE shifts to 48 86
@overlay DESK POLICE scales to 1.000 1.000
you put them after the overlay like this to 1.000 48 86
it shall look like this
INT. POLICE STATION 2 - DAY with DESK POLICE to 1.000 48 86
if you want to put it in a zone you do this
INT. POLICE STATION 2 - DAY with DESK POLICE to 1.000 48 86 in zone 3
to move a char infront of the overlay you need to use layers
I tried to read that but i dont understand it thank you though
I still dont get it
I know how to put overlays in my story i just dont know how to put them in certin places
what about this
use the mobile creator helper,
@overlay OVERLAY shifts to — --- in S
@overlay OVERLAY scales to — --- in S
I cant use that one because my phone broke but ty again
My phone broke so i cant
I’m sorry but I’m afraid that’s the only way
you do know there a prewiew where you write where you can see what to do
Yes I already said that but ty for trying to help tho
Here you go -
@overlay OVERLAY create
@overlay OVERLAY shifts to x y in zone z
@overlay OVERLAY scales to s s in zone z
@overlay OVERLAY opacity 1 in 0
To get the x, y an s you open a preview in the writers portal, click on directing help, click overlays then scale or shift you overlay to the position. Copy and paste the overlay into your portal and use the coding above to make sure it appears!
Moved to Directing Helps and Tips since this is about coding. Make sure to check out our Forum Tutorial for more info about where to correctly create topics, and feel to PM me if there are any questions.
