Overlay Directing Help Needed

I’m making an intro for my story and it looks fine on the website, but on the app my overlays ‘MYLESFALL’ and ‘PENNYFALL’ start out in the middle of the screen, and I need them to start out on the top out of sight like they do on the website.

Script

EXT. SKY

&zoom reset
&overlay HELICOP create
&overlay HELICOP opacity 1 in 0
&overlay MYLESFALL create
&overlay MYLESFALL opacity 1 in 0
&overlay PENNYFALL create
&overlay PENNYFALL opacity 1 in 0

@overlay 5676696397021184_PENNYFALL moves to layer 2

&overlay 5676696397021184_MYLESFALL shifts to -1 -91 in zone 1 in 2 THEN overlay MYLESFALL shifts to 3 -91 in zone 1 in .5 THEN overlay MYLESFALL shifts to -12 -91 in zone 1 in .5 THEN overlay MYLESFALL shifts to 3 -91 in zone 1 in .5 THEN overlay MYLESFALL shifts to -12 -91 in zone 1 in .5 THEN overlay MYLESFALL shifts to 3 -91 in zone 1 in .5 THEN overlay MYLESFALL shifts to -12 -91 in zone 1 in .5 THEN overlay MYLESFALL shifts to 3 -91 in zone 1 in .5 THEN overlay MYLESFALL shifts to -12 -91 in zone 1 in .5 THEN overlay MYLESFALL shifts to 3 -91 in zone 1 in .5 THEN overlay MYLESFALL shifts to -12 -91 in zone 1 in .5 THEN overlay MYLESFALL shifts to 3 -91 in zone 1 in .5

@overlay 5676696397021184_HELICOP shifts to -230 173 in zone 1 in 3

@pause for a beat

@overlay 5676696397021184_HELICOP shifts to -626 -27 in zone 1 in 3 AND overlay 5676696397021184_MYLESFALL shifts to -10 -348 in zone 1 in 2 AND overlay 5676696397021184_PENNYFALL shifts to 36 -369 in zone 1 in 2

@overlay ADVENTURES opacity 1 in 3

What background are you using? Some backgrounds do weird things to overlays.

I don’t know then :thinking: Sorry

I’m not 100% sure if this is the case, but all the & signs may be overwhelming your script to the point that it isn’t reading the shift part on your phone/device. What I’d recommend (and what I do on my own script) is change the “&” sign to an “@” sign on the create command, but keep the & signs everywhere else. I can’t promise this is a solution unfortunately :frowning:

Not an expert on this but what’d I try is replace the “&” on the create ones with “@“ then move the shift commands above the @overlay create

If that doesn’t work then try replacing the “&overlay shifts…” to “@“ and just keep swapping it around as I think the issue is you’re using too many “&”s
