I’ve been trying to animate overlays for the introduction of my story but errors like that one keep popping up does anyone know how to fix it? image

normally when you get that error and the background exists it means that there’s any error after the background, maybe look at that and see if you can find anything? :thinking:

some context I know that it’s the overlays thats the problem I took off the overlay part to see if it would work without the overlay and it did so I added it back in in hopes that maybe it was just a mistake error or something but it was still there and I have no idea how to fix it (sorry if that sounded really confusing which I assume it did :sweat_smile:)

can you copy & paste your script or screen shot the part that you know is giving the error? i have an idea on the problem but i cant really see too much with the screenshot except for the error and some overlay coding :upside_down_face:

INT. TRIO - DAY
&overlay LANGUAGE AND THEMES OL create
&overlay LANGUAGE AND THEMES OL opacity 1
&overlay LANGUAGE AND THEMES OL shifts to -527 -0
&overlay LANGUAGE AND THEMES OL scales to 1000 1000

maybe do
INT TRIO- DAY with LANGUAGE AND THEMES OL
&overlay LANGUAGE AND THEMES OL opacity 1
&overlay LANGUAGE AND THEMES OL shifts to -527 -0
&overlay LANGUAGE AND THEMES OL scales to 1000 1000

(after that remove the create command as it’s already added in🥰)

i have a similar thing on my script, i do not know if it’s always needed but maybe specify what zone the overlay is moving to. my background that i’m using is one zone and i don’t know if yours is but if it isn’t definitely specify what zone. and even if it’s just one add the zone for example

&overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to x y in zone 1
&overlay OVERLAYNAME opacity 1% in 0
in your case it would look like this

&overlay LANGUAGE AND THEMES OL shifts to -527 -0 in zone 1(or whatever zone it’s in)

That wont work either :smiley:

with the “&” do you want all those commands to happen at once since & makes it do it at the same time, or would you like it in separate times, if so remove the “&” and replace them with “@“ only ones you would like to move in a different time. if that doesn’t work the only thing i would recommend as it says there is to reload the art catalog

it could also possibly be because you named your overlay with “AND” in it. the script is probably getting confused because there’s a “AND” command and since you have that in your script it probably thinks you’re trying to use that. try uploading your overlay with a new name and then use it and see if it works.

oh yeah, i didn’t realize that haha,

as they said “AND” is more used as a character command like “@CHAR stands screen center and CHAR is shiftweight” try to name the overlay something without the and in it @Ashtyn1Raine
