Hey guys! so I was wondering if I could start a scene with this girl just standing there? or does she have to walk in?

yeah ! you just code @char spot ____ in zone _____ instead of them walking in at the beginning of the scene
Yeah, you can just spot direct the character normally. You don’t need the “walks to” part and change the @ to an &.

Yes! It worked for me too. Quick question, I’m so sorry, If I wanted to zoom in, how would I do that? Is it a command?

What do you want to zoom on?
Here’s what you have to do:
On the right side of the screen theres an option that says, “show helpers.”
click it and go to camera.
then when you’re at it there’s a “zoom and focus” button. zoom will make the camera zoom and focus will make it so you can move around without it zooming in.
When you have it where you want it, scroll down so you can see the commands.
then after u can just copy it!

You’re welcome, and if you don’t want it to automatically zoom then just do:
Ex:
@zoom on 320 307 to 155% in 3
Instead of doing the in 0
basically this will just make it zoom in slowly
Happy to help
