Issues with @cut

Creator's Corner Directing Help & Tips

Hello there, I am currently writing my story and I have a huge issue with my “cut” coding.
I used “@cut to zone 2” at the begining of a scene, but instead of cutting to the zone it pans to it.

Here is my script:
INT. HOSPITAL BED - DAY
&cut to zone 2
#start scene in zone 2
@zoom on 640 442 to 284%
@MARGARET spot 1.027 274 152 in zone 2
@MARGARET moves to layer 0

I also tried
INT. HOSPITAL BED - DAY
@cut to zone 2
#start scene in zone 2
@zoom on 640 442 to 284%
@MARGARET spot 1.027 274 152 in zone 2
@MARGARET moves to layer 0

But it keeps on paning to zone 2 instead of cutting to zone 2.
I have other scenes that I want to cut to a specific zone with that script that works well, I honestly don’t understand.

Help me please! :frowning:

What do you mean? :thinking:

I think your issue is with your zoom, not cut. Because you do not specify what time you are zooming to the coordinates, it sets a default time. Try:
&cut to zone 2
&zoom on 640 442 to 284% in 0
