I cant get it to cut back to her

When she says “What’s the deal, never seen a dress before?” the camera is supposed to be on her but all I see of her is the speech bubble, how do I fix this?

@Dara.Amarie

You cut to zone 2 but the zoom is zoomed into a spot in zone 1. You need to zoom into a spot in zone 2

It didn’t work and led to an error

&zoom on … in 0
@cut to zone 2

That’s not what I meant by zooming to a spot in zone 2, sorry for the confusion. You cannot add “in zone #” to a zoom command.

The x coordinate for the zoom command needs to be a coordinate in zone 2.

1 - 320 is a spot in zone 1.
320 - 640 is a spot in zone 2
640 - 960 is a spot in zone 3

@zoom on X y to % in 0

The x coordinate needs to be between 320 and 640 to be in zone 2

Didn’t work

so…what coordiate should I zoom on?

Just move the screen to where you want to show your character when zooming and add those numbers to your script.

I can’t get it to zoom over there

this is my script:

    That dress would be perfect for the wedding.

if (married_solis) {

    I'm sure solis can cover the cost.

     I'm sure solis can cover the cost.

Use & for the zoom and add “in 0”

That din’t work either

what can I do?

this is the setup that messes up the zooms:

Background:

Background overlay:

@Dara.Amarie

Sorry, maybe I’m wrong but I just wanted to point on that Jane is in zone 1 and you’re trying to zoom in zone 2.

Stay safe. :butterfly:

she is in zone 1

so you have to cut or pan to zone 1 simultanously with the zoom.

I need help zooming onto the two on the right, I tried using debugs but it was stuck on a random location

I don’t understand what you mean by using debugs. From your description, I, unfortunately, don’t understand the problem (English is not my native language

But zooms are simple.

Just cut to the zone you need to be then open the camera in the preview window zoom on the needed spot and copy it to your script.
