Problem with background overlay

My script:

:x: INT. TEXAS AIRPORT OL - DAY with INT. TEXAS AIRPORT OL - DAY in zone 1 at layer 1 with ELENAS SUITCASE in zone 3 at layer 3

&cut to zone 3

&AIRPORT WORKER spot 1 100 100 in zone 3 at layer 0 AND AIRPORT WORKER faces left
&ELENA spot 1 100 100 in zone 3 at layer 2 AND ELENA faces right

Error: Zone number can only be specified once.

The cross shows where the error’s supposed to be…?
I’ve specified the default overlay’s zone and layer many times before so I don’t quite get the error?

Never seen it written like that, pretty cool :joy: :rofl: The default scale size is 1.280

BTW,

Here’s an example of how it would look like ^^

You can just write:

You don’t need “in zone 1” there.

I always do it like that and it’s never been a problem :sweat_smile:

I’ll try this

#OK, you can try:

INT. TEXAS AIRPORT OL - DAY with INT. TEXAS AIRPORT OL - DAY at layer 1

&cut to zone 3

&overlay ELENAS SUITCASE create
&overlay ELENAS SUITCASE scales to % % in zone 3 in 0
&overlay ELENAS SUITCASE shifts to X Y in zone 3 in 0
&overlay ELENAS SUITCASE to layer 3
&overlay ELENAS SUITCASE opacity 1 in 0

#scene

#notes = replace % % with scales to coordinates (both will be the same) for the overlay ELENAS SUITCASE, and replace X Y with the shifts to coordinates.

I recommend that you should have coordinates for your overlay ELENAS SUITCASE. Move it around and get it where you like it- this controls X, Y- (play with the size too, that controls % %).
