Quick Overlay Question for Beginner

[Apes]

You need to create or add your overlay to the background first

ADDING Overlays to the Scene:

Here are the two ways you can add overlays into your scenes:

1. Typing the overlay next to the background name using the word “with”

This is used when you want your overlay(s) to be already placed at the beginning of the scene.

INT. BACKGROUND NAME - DAY with OVERLAYNAME
or
INT. BACKGROUND NAME - DAY with OVERLAYNAME to % x y
or
INT. BACKGROUND NAME - DAY with OVERLAYNAME in zone #
or
INT. BACKGROUND NAME - DAY with OVERLAYNAME at layer #
or
INT. BACKGROUND NAME - DAY with OVERLAYNAME to % x y in zone # at layer #

2. The create overlay command
This is used when you want to add an overlay in the middle of the scene.

NOTE: To use this command you have to add in the shift, scales, and opacity commands to make the overlay appear in your scene. You can learn about shifts, scales, and opacity down below.

@overlay OVERLAYNAME create
@overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to 100 100 in zone # in 0
@overlay OVERLAYNAME scales to 1.0 1.0 in 0
@overlay OVERLAYNAME opacity 1 in 0
