I really need help with this coding. And tbh this is my first ie writing so I probably just messed it up. Every time i click preview these lines it just completely skips over it. Some one please help me fix this

Here’s the coding:

INT. THE INTO
music music_aggropop

@overlay EXT. EPISODE TITLE create
@overlay EXT. EPISDE TITLE opacity

@overlay 5670251189698560 EXT. EPISDE TITLE shifts to
80 335
@overlay 5670251189698560 EXT. EPISODE TITLE scales to
0.424 0.424

&overlay 5670251189698560 EXT. EPISODE TILTE shifts to
-19 305 in 1 using easebackout
@overlay 5670225118969560 EXT. EPISODE TITLE scales to
1.126 1.126 in 1 using easebackout

@overlay EXT. EPISODE TITLE clear

@overlay EXT. INTRO OVERLAY create
@overlay EXT. INTRO OVERLAY opacity 1

@overlay 5670251189698560 EXT. INTRO OVERLAY shifts to
104 337
@overlay 5670251189698560 EXT. INTRO OVERLAY scales to
0.532 0.532

&overlay 5670251189698560 EXT. INTRO OVERLAY shifts to
12 215 in 1 using easebackout
@overlay 5670251189698560 EXT. INTRO OVERLAY scales to
1.792 1.792 in 1 using easebackout

Need to include a zone still

3

What zone is it shifting too?
&

This one too?

4

Scales don’t need a time, so you can erase in 1 using easebackout

5

Thank you so much for responding,they both staying in the same zone. I was just trying to make the overlay do a cool transition. Idk how to explain but I’ll try, so basically i created a overlay for the title of the story, so i was trying to make the overlay go from small to big for the intro. I really hope you understand. :sweat_smile:

Yeah I understand what you mean, if it’s in zone 1 for example your code would be
@overlay 5670251189698560 EXT. INTRO OVERLAY shifts to 104 337 in zone 1

7

Try this?

INT. THE INTO
music music_aggropop

&overlay EXT. EPISODE TITLE create
&overlay EXT. EPISDE TITLE opacity 1 in 0

&overlay 5670251189698560 EXT. EPISDE TITLE shifts to 80 335 in zone 1 THEN overlay 5670251189698560 EXT. EPISODE TILTE shifts to
-19 305 in zone 1 in 1 using easebackout
&overlay 5670251189698560 EXT. EPISODE TITLE scales to 0.424 0.424 THEN overlay 5670225118969560 EXT. EPISODE TITLE scales to
1.126 1.126
&overlay 5670251189698560 EXT. EPISDE TITLE to layer 1

@pause for 1.5

&overlay EXT. EPISODE TITLE clear

&overlay EXT. INTRO OVERLAY create
&overlay EXT. INTRO OVERLAY opacity 1 in 0

&overlay 5670251189698560 EXT. INTRO OVERLAY shifts to 104 337 in zone 1 THEN overlay 5670251189698560 EXT. INTRO OVERLAY shifts to
12 215 in zone 1 in 1 using easebackout
&overlay 5670251189698560 EXT. INTRO OVERLAY scales to 0.532 0.532 THEN overlay 5670251189698560 EXT. INTRO OVERLAY scales to
1.792 1.792
&overlay 5670251189698560 EXT. INTRO OVERLAY to layer 2

Just switch out the zones if it’s in a different zone

It says “invalid format to specify overlay animation parameters. Yo have to put value(s) after using keyword. Or remove the last trailing white space.”
For;

And:

However you did manage to get t to show the background and te pause command, it just the overlays thats not working.

9

Remove the * where the 1 is at

10

I’m sorry for bothering you still, however it did remove the warning but the overlays just won’t show up.

11

Can you share a screenshot of your script so I can get a better idea of the error?

12

Sure

Perhaps this?

INT. THE INTO
music music_aggropop

&overlay EXT. EPISODE TITLE create
&overlay EXT. EPISDE TITLE opacity 1 in 0

&overlay EXT. EPISDE TITLE shifts to 80 335 in zone 1 THEN overlay EXT. EPISODE TILTE shifts to -19 305 in zone 1 in 1 using easebackout
&overlay EXT. EPISODE TITLE scales to 0.424 0.424 THEN overlay EXT. EPISODE TITLE scales to 1.126 1.126
&overlay EXT. EPISDE TITLE to layer 1

@pause for 2.5

&overlay EXT. EPISODE TITLE clear

&overlay EXT. INTRO OVERLAY create
&overlay EXT. INTRO OVERLAY opacity 1 in 0

&overlay EXT. INTRO OVERLAY shifts to 104 337 in zone 1 THEN overlay EXT. INTRO OVERLAY shifts to 12 215 in zone 1 in 1 using easebackout
&overlay EXT. INTRO OVERLAY scales to 0.532 0.532 THEN overlay EXT. INTRO OVERLAY scales to 1.792 1.792
&overlay EXT. INTRO OVERLAY to layer 2

18

Omg wait the first overlay worked but the second one didn’t. But still thank you so much

19

the &overlay 28382929 INT. (…) doesn’t make sense… Remove the numbers or add a _ that connects the numbers and the overlay name
IF it doesn’t work, try uploading the overlay again and naming it with only one name, all written together (you can add _)

First of all, they won’t show up because you have several typos in it. EVERY overlay needs to be named identically.

One time, it’s EPISODE then it’s EPISDE
Then it’s TITLE, later TILTE

make sure all overlays have the correct name, then we can see
