How to make car move into scene
Hey sweetie thank you. I was on that site, but my cars position is floating with the codes she gives. I just want my car to enter a scene then stop. I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find anything.
Hey. My friend @Apes made a guide on Just this topic:
🚗 HOW TO: Drive into / Drive Off the scene with Character inside
Hi all! Moved the thread to Directing Help & Tips since you were asking for help. @ParramoreTatum can you confirm if this has been resolved for you? Thanks!
I try to position the car off screen in a zone and it ends up appearing in another zone. Ive tried everything.
Hi I really need help, my car overlay won’t move with my characters is there anything wrong with my script?
EXT. CITY HIGHWAY - NIGHT with GREY JEEP to 0.752 -402 -59
@zoom on 43 4 to 99% in 2
@MCMALE spot 0.500 -184 122 AND MCMALE faces right AND MC spot 0.450 -236 146 AND MC faces right
&MCMALE walks to spot 0.500 343 122 in 3.0 AND MCMALE does it while idle_happy AND MC walks to spot 0.450 334 146 in 3.2 AND MC does it while idle_happy
&overlay CAR ANGLE SILVER shifts to 324 -59 in 3.0
&overlay CAR ANGLE SILVER scales to 0.752 0.752

Try this
@Selineva You have GREY JEEP next to the background name, but you’re animating CAR ANGLE SILVER. Maybe that’s the issue?
The problem is because you are animating the overlay CAR ANGLE SILVER instead of GREY JEEP
Oh Gosh I really need to change my glasses
The car moves now but not at the same time as my characters. Is there something wrong with the timing?
I changed the timing for my characters and it works.

Thank you so much for your help I’m so grateful
Hello! So I’m also a new writer. I want both characters to drive into a scene. I believe the timer of either the characters or the car is the issue, but I can’t seem to correct it. I used my very own custom overlay, but you can replace it with ANGLE CAR SILVER for explanation. I’m using LIMELIGHT template.
Here is my script
EXT. MG DINER - DAY with RUDY CAR to 0.639 -758 -45
@RUDY spot 0.500 -184 94 AND RUDY faces right AND MIKA spot 0.450 -236 116 AND MIKA faces right
@pause for a beat
&RUDY walks to spot 0.500 140 94 in 3.0 AND RUDY does it while idle_happy_loop
&MIKA walks to spot 0.450 67 116 in 3.0 AND MIKA does it while idle_happy_loop
&overlay RUDY CAR shifts to -137 -45 in 3.0
&overlay RUDY CAR scales to 0.639 0.639
&zoom on 43 4 to 99% in 2
Your characters are not in the car while they offscreen. So I moved the overlay a bit and changed the place of characters
EXT. MG DINER - DAY with CAR ANGLE SILVER to 0.639 -458 -50
@RUDY spot 0.500 -185 90 AND RUDY faces right AND MIKA spot 0.450 -257 108 AND MIKA faces right
@pause for a beat
&RUDY walks to spot 0.500 140 94 in 3.0 AND RUDY does it while idle_happy_loop
&MIKA walks to spot 0.450 67 116 in 3.0 AND MIKA does it while idle_happy_loop
&overlay CAR ANGLE SILVER shifts to -137 -45 in 3.0
&overlay CAR ANGLE SILVER scales to 0.639 0.639
&zoom on 43 4 to 99% in 2
