Hello everyone I need a little help does anyone know how to add more then one overlay to a background?
Hi!! To add more than one overlay to a background you could use something like this:
@ overlay OVERLAYNAME create
You could use this more than one time and be sure that right under this you put:
@ overlay OVERLAYNAME opacity 1
Otherwise you overlay won’t show up. 
Hope this helps!!

INT. BACKGROUND - DAY with OVERLAY1 with OVERLAY2 with OVERLAY3 . . .
You can add as many as you want, just put the word ‘with’ before the overlay name. 
As mentioned before, you can use either of those methods.
Just make sure when you add them using the: (e.g.)
&overlay BENCH create
&overlay TREE create
&overlay BIRD create
method, to always specify your opacity e.g.
&overlay BENCH create
&overlay BENCH opacity 1 in 0
&overlay TREE create
&overlay TREE opacity 1 in 0
&overlay BIRD create
&overlay BIRD opacity 1 in 0
Otherwise they wont show up in your script.
