Thank you!
It might be my computer, but it’s not loading. 
Overlays are actually quite complex in the beginning but after a while they become simple! There are two different ways to do overlays. For the first example let’s say you choose a desk. It would look like this
INT. BEDROOM with DESK at layer #
^This can also work with weather effects (just not the layers)
The second way to use overlays is to insert them in the script. Let’s say we are inserting a car.
EXT. STREET - DAY
@overlay CAR create (This makes the CAR actually in the scene)
@overlay CAR shifts to # (The spot of the car, THIS MAY NOT APPLY IF YOU ARE USING A OVERLAY WITH A DEFAULT SPOT)
@overlay CAR scales to # (The size of the car)
@overlay CAR opacity 1 (This will actually show the car, if you do not add this the Car will be invisible)
Hope this helped

Their are also lots of other things you can do with overlays! If you can confused I suggest to go on to the tutorial located in the little story box. Try using your device and follow. This is how I learned.
