In the intro to my story, I place the overlay off screen and make it move down onto screen. But it pops up really quickly right before the animation, and ruins the intro. How do I stop it from appearing on screen first?
Did you use the @overlay create command or did you place the overlay in your background? (e.g. INT. BACKGROUND with OVERLAYNAME)
This is what I’ve got, I think I tried doing it with the background but something went wrong xD
If it won’t do it with the background, maybe use & signs instead.
So, your script would look something like:
INT. INTRO
&overlay INTRO_WORD create
&overlay INTRO_WORD opacity 1
&overlay INTRO_WORD shifts to 4 580
&overlay INTRO_WORD scales to 0.557
@pause for 2
@overlay INTRO_WORD shifts to 4 72 in 2
Let me know if this works
I don’t know why, but it’s coming from the bottom rather than the top now… hahaha
It’s no longer randomly appearing though
Oh no I’m not sure why it’s doing this. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I forgot to add an extra 0.557 on the scale command. Other than that, are you sure you’ve got the right shift numbers?
I’m not sure what went wrong, but I actually prefer it the way it is now
Thank you so much !
u need to shift and scale the overlay first then set the opacity to 1
INTRO
&overlay INTRO_WORD create
&overlay INTRO_WORD shifts to 4 580
&overlay INTRO_WORD scales to 0.557
@overlay INTRO_WORD opacity 1 in 0
@pause for 2
@overlay INTRO_WORD shifts to 4 72 in 2
Thank you so much !!!
no problem
