Hello,
I’m trying to use a looping command but it’s not working. I’ve made an overlay of a news ticker (it’s the news that goes across the bottom of the screen on a news station) and a tv overlay, but the loop isn’t working. I’ve made a copy of the original overlay and have it loop from where the end of the original overlay stopped and I can’t loop it infinitely. What’s wrong with the code? Thanks!
INT. WHITE - DAY @zoom on 138 128 to 105% in 0 @overlay AFWTDTV create @overlay AFWTDTV opacity 1 @overlay AFWTDTV moves to layer 2 @overlay AFWTDTV shifts to 0 0 in zone 1 @overlay AFWTDNEWSTICKER1 create @overlay AFWTDNEWSTICKER1 moves to layer 1 @overlay AFWTDNEWSTICKER1 opacity 1 @overlay AFWTDNEWSTICKER1 shifts to 22 229 in zone 1 in 0 @overlay AFWTDNEWSTICKER1 scales to 1.702 1.702 @overlay AFWTDNEWSTICKER1_1 create from AFWTDNEWSTICKER1 @overlay AFWTDNEWSTICKER1_1 opacity 1 @overlay AFWTDNEWSTICKER1_1 moves to layer 1 @overlay AFWTDNEWSTICKER1_1 shifts to 295 229 in zone 1 in 0 @overlay AFWTDNEWSTICKER1_1 scales to 1.702 1.702
&overlay AFWTDNEWSTICKER1 shifts to -3100 229 in zone 1 in 40 THEN overlay AFWTDNEWSTICKER1 shifts to -3371 229 in 4 AND overlay AFWTDNEWSTICKER1_1 shifts to 22 229 in 4 THEN overlay AFWTDNEWSTICKER1_1 shifts to -3100 229 in zone 1 in 40 loop infinite times
Adding &overlay might help
I have a looping overlay that took me a moment to figure out the code. Mine looks like this for reference:
@overlay MAGIC_ORB - BLACK create
&overlay MAGIC_ORB - BLACK shifts to 128 382 in zone 2
&overlay MAGIC_ORB - BLACK to layer 4
&overlay MAGIC_ORB - BLACK scales to -0.040 -0.040
&overlay MAGIC_ORB - BLACK opacity 1.00 in 3
&overlay MAGIC_ORB - BLACK rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 2 THEN overlay MAGIC_ORB - BLACK rotates 0 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 0 loop INFINITE times
&overlay MAGIC_ORB - BLACK scales to 0.117 0.117 in 3
[My script has dialogue here]
&overlay MAGIC_ORB - BLACK scales to -0.040 -0.040 in 3
@overlay MAGIC_ORB - BLACK opacity 0 in 2 THEN overlay MAGIC_ORB - BLACK clear
(Script code spread out for easier reading)
Hope this helps
