Moving box overlay isn't showing

So I tried many ways to add an overlay, the moving box, but it never shows up on my preview screen. Can someone please help?

click “directing helper” then click “overlay helper”
it should say the overlay in the box where you can copy.
Then you need to drag the overlay to where you want it.

did you do
@overlay NAME create
@overlay NAME opacity 1 in 0

I’m not sure. I’ll try it rn

it says to put it in stage view first?

can you screenshot what you are talking about

image

is the screen zoomed in by any chance?

no its not zoomed in at all

I’m not sure
try.
INT.NAME-DAY with OVERLAYNAME in zone #

if not

So do you think it would work if I use LL overlays in a LL story? Because when I use the overlays for all stories, it works. But not when I use LL overlays…

honestly i am not quite sure. you might want to ask dara

who’s dara?

the person who made that link, i sent up there

Oh okay… Thanks so much for your help! :slight_smile:

Do you still need help? I can code that part and explain how to do. If you need it. I am good with overlay and spot direction.

That’s so nice of you! But it’s all okay now. Turns out I was trying to use a prop as an overlay. :joy:
