Overlay Flickering

[writingtingz]

hi! so i recently found out how to animate overlays and it’s been smooth on the web preview, but when i preview it on the app, the overlays flicker.

i’m using custom made backgrounds and overlays that i did myself, but hopefully someone can help anyway?

here’s my script (click the triangle):

@YOU spot 1.703 164 -366 AND YOU faces right

Example of how you can add the overlay into your scene by adding “in 0” to the scales and shifts to command):

&overlay STORYCONTAINS create
&overlay STORYCONTAINS shifts to -320 319 in 0
&overlay STORYCONTAINS scales to 1.342 1.342 in 0
&overlay STORYCONTAINS opacity 1 in 0

When you’re making your overlay move all you need is this:

@overlay STORYCONTAINS shifts to -71 320 in 1.5 using easein

You don’t need to write the scales to command again unless you’re changing the size of the overlay.
