I need help, I’ve created a scene, and when I watch it back, it’s zoomed in, but there are no code telling it to zoom in. So, can someone please help me figure out the problem…

Can you post the code?

Have you tried using the command @zoom reset? Because zooms stay in a scene until it gets reset.

5

where should i write it?

Try doing it under the line you have with the background name.
The script could look like:

INT. JUVIE HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY
&zoom reset

&DARIUS spot 0.803 145 297 in zone 1 and DARIUS is idle_sit_neutral_loop

&DARIUS faces right

&MIRA changes into MIRA_HOSPITAL

@pan to zone 2

&MIRA spot 0.659 6 454 in zone 2 and MIRA is idle_lay_groggy_eyesclosed_loop and MIRA faces left
