Please help me for fixing those overlays with moves, stay the rotates

I can’t do those rotate overlays with staying with a move.

Can you send your script?

Make sure you’re doing @overlay OVERLAYNAME rotates degrees anchor point .5 .5 in s. An anchor point of .5 .5 is right in the center of the overlay. Unfortunately when rotating overlays they do tend to shift, so my suggestion, if this is the error you’re encountering, would be do rotate the overlay, let it finish rotating in the previewer, then respotting it to where you want. This way it’ll be in the right spot for the rotate.

Ohhh lol I assumed that was a pic from your IG lol :laughing: I kept randomly seeing it floating around but didn’t say anything until now. Thought it might be helpful for others to have a direct link to the more in-depth explanation of that pic :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: but I’m glad you find that it might be helpful to others.

Oh no i never posted it on my Instagram lol, I saw Perry, author of Primed for Duty, post it on their Instagram and wanted to try it out for myself. Its pretty much how I learned lol.
I would only share it on forums when I didn’t know how to explain to others in a way lol. But next time I’ll share the link :smiling_face:
