How do you pan a character to a certain spot?

[Jen_Rae]

Hey! I need help panning my character while she is walking in a certain spot. Can anyone help me, please? Thanks!

EXT. ST ANDREWS HIGH SCHOOL - DAY

@transition fade in black 2

@zoom on 0 0 to 146% in 5

@JANINE spot 0.542 -36 232 in zone 1 at layer 3

@JANINE walks to spot 0.542 181 259 in zone 2 in 6

&pan to zone 3 in 5

I think you need to put the pan function before the walks to spot function and have it be about the same number of seconds

[Jen_Rae]

Oh okay! Thank you! I’ll let you know if it works or not!

[Jen_Rae]

It worked! Thank you so much!

[PurpleRadiance]

No probs! Good luck with your story

Don’t forget you can have a bunch of things going on at the same time by using the & symbol. Then for the last thing of the group, you use the @.

So the order of the walk and pan doesn’t matter, but the first one is & and the second is @

Also, say you wanted the zoom to happen simultaneously with the fade in, you would put &zoom etc
@transition etc (same seconds or longer)

You can also spot the character with the &. I like to &CHARACTER spot before the transition.

If you know all this, just ignore

Thank you!

I used this customization from dara amarie and the outfits keep changing when I select the outfit. Here’s my script

INT. WALKINCLOSET - DAY

@zoom reset

@transition fade in black 2

@pause for a beat

@follow JANINE to screen center in zone 2 AND JANINE is walk_neutral_loop

    JANINE (think_rubchin)
(I should probably change before class starts.)

@JANINE walks to spot 0.579 40 266 in zone 2 in 4 AND JANINE is walk_neutral_loop_rear AND JANINE faces right

@JANINE is tinker_stand_neutral_loop_rear

&zoom on 320 123 to 192% in 5

@JANINE is idle
