Hello!
I’m sorry if this is a stupid question, but what exactly does this code do?
The first spot is to make her walk offscreen I belive, the last one to enter the car.
But what does the spot in the middle do?
Love,
Sahra
I think this way looks visually better. So she’s not walking straight from spot to the car and like going around the car first then entering the car. I will try to break it for you 
So when she’s here which looks like this:
if she would walk to the car from this spot she would enter the car from the back which looks weird to me
so after she walks off I place her near the car which is this spot you’re talking about:
so she’s entering the car from the side which is this one:
Hope this is a bit clearer if not let me know

No problem 
and I’m glad you asked because it might be not clear for some people so I hope this helps to understand why I did it this way.
I am using the background EXT. MOUNTAIN ROAD CAR LOOP - DAY.
Can we anyhow make the scene go faster because I want to show that they are driving really fast but the background moves slower than a tortoise?

You need to upload background as an overlay and loop it yourself with the speed you want.
I recommend Dara’s topic, she made a few overlays and codes you can use:

Hello!
Could you please tell me if there is something wrong with my script?
When I previewed it on the web previewer everything looked fine but when I previewed it on my phone, the car and the character aren’t synchronised. This scene is repeated three times later in the same episode and it works with absolutely no problem on both the phone and web previewer.
I just have no idea why this first one doesn’t want to work properly 
This is what my script looks like
EXT. POLICE STATION - DAY with POLICE CAR at layer 3

@overlay POLICE CAR shifts to -231 -2 in zone 2 in 2 AND pan to zone 2 in 2

I tried but it didn’t change anything.
I took a screenshot to try to show you what happens: the character and the pan are moving to zone 2 normally but not the overlay of the police car.
is he in the car while it’s off screen?
He’s not really off screen, he’s at the edge of zone 1 but yes I checked and he is in the car behind the wheel.
can you send me a video of this scene on IG or here on the PM?

This is what I have, commented out half of it tho
you know that this is only 3 zone background so if you pan to zone 4 it will be black background, did you read my guide above?
it didn’t work if I panned to zone 3, not sure why
you need to place your car and character offscreen left in zone 1, then cut to zone 3 and place where your car will stop (this will be your driving in scene) and then place your car off screen in zone 3 (drive off scene)
uh so i tried that and
