I’ve done some basic coding to have 2 of my characters in a spot and then do an animation but when I preview it, they don’t actually do the animation, they just do the ‘ending pose’ of the animation coded.
I’ve done this exact same coding for different characters before and never had a problem so I don’t understand why this is occuring all of a sudden!
My coding:
INT. ACADEMIC HALL - DAY
&cut to zone 1
&ELLE spot 1.280 130 -2 in zone 1 AND ELLE is talk_gossip AND ELLE faces left
&DT3 spot 1.280 50 0 in zone 1 AND DT3 is react_gasp_dismayed AND DT3 faces right
&zoom on 3 343 to 167% in 0 @DT3 changes into ROSE_school @ELLE changes into LISA_tiktok @pause for 1
@ELLE spot 1.280 130 -2 in zone 1 AND ELLE does it while talk_gossip AND ELLE faces left AND DT3 spot 1.280 50 0 in zone 1 AND DT3 does it while react_gasp_dismayed AND DT3 faces right
For some reason, when you test it from just the beginning of the scene, they don’t do the full animation. But when I tested it with a scene before that scene, they do their animation.
For example, I just added a filler scene before and tested it that way.
INT. BLACK - DAY
NARRATOR
Testing.
INT. ACADEMIC HALL - DAY
&cut to zone 1
&ELLE spot 1.280 130 -2 in zone 1 AND ELLE is talk_gossip AND ELLE faces left
&DT3 spot 1.280 50 0 in zone 1 AND DT3 is react_gasp_dismayed AND DT3 faces right
&zoom on 3 343 to 167% in 0 @DT3 changes into ROSE_school @ELLE changes into LISA_tiktok @pause for 1
Okay, thank you!! I will see if i can add something before it to make it work properly or just change the scene a bit but it is weird since any ather time i’ve written the exact same way there’s never been a problem!
