Overlay problem, someone help?

So I want two overlays to kind of disappear and appear again one after another. So I have something like this;
@transition fade in white 1
@pause for a beat
@overlay CHAPTER create
@overlay CHAPTER shifts to 16 382
@overlay CHAPTER scales to 1.173 1.173
@overlay CHAPTER opacity 1 in 1
@overlay CHAPTER opacity 0 in 0
@overlay CHAPTER2 create
@overlay CHAPTER2 shifts to 16 382
@overlay CHAPTER2 scales to 1.173 1.173
@overlay CHAPTER2 opacity 1 in 0
@overlay CHAPTER2 opacity 0 in 0
@overlay CHAPTER opacity 1 in 0
@overlay CHAPTER opacity 0 in 0
@overlay CHAPTER2 shifts to 19 370
@overlay CHAPTER2 scales to 1.176 1.176
@overlay CHAPTER2 opacity 1 in 0
@overlay CHAPTER2 opacity 0 in 0
@overlay CHAPTER2 shifts to 16 382
@overlay CHAPTER2 scales to 1.173 1.173
@overlay CHAPTER2 opacity 1 in 0

  1. I tried adding pause for a beat after every opacity 0 in 0, but that looked way too long. The pauses were to long.
  2. When I add something like 0.01 or even 0.00001, it kind of… flashes? Like it has a white transition to it. So I added pause for a beat after the transition in the beginning, but it still does it.
  3. When I just leave opacity 0/1 in 0, it skips the whole part and it just changes from chapter to chapter2.

What do I do? Also thanks to anyone who helps.

Have you tried adding time to opacity command?

Like fade out first to 0 in a few seconds:

@overlay CHAPTER opacity 0 in 4

and then the next one

@overlay CHAPTER2 opacity 1 in 4

You can also add time to shifts and scales command, and use & instead of @ if you want your overlays to create faster

I posted the script, I DID try doing it in time, the opacity 1 in 0 means it changes into opacity 1 in 0 seconds right lol
I don’t want it to be SLOW, I want it to kind of flash but in no color and it flashes in white.
For you to get what I want better, chapter is a normal font and chapter2 is a glitched font, I want to make a font glitch effect

I will try removing and creating the overlays instead. Maybe that will work
