Problem with spotting overlays

Creator's Corner Directing Help & Tips

Hi!
This is my first time writing a story on Episode and I come across a problem. My overlay won’t spot.
I wrote this in the script.

INT. INDUSTRIAL KITCHEN OL - DAY with FIREKILLER in zone 2

@cut to zone 2
@overlay FIREKILLER create
@overlay FIREKILLER shifts to 116 247
@overlay FIREKILLER scales to 1.000 1.000

And it won’t spot. My overlay still stays in the left corner. Am I doing it wrong? Is it a bug? Or am I just dumb?

Please help

add coordinates to the background

INT. INDUSTRIAL KITCHEN OL - DAY with FIREKILLER to 1.000 116 247 in zone 2

or if you’re adding an overlay in the stage don’t forget to add a zone to shifts command and opacity
