Rotating Overlay... Help!

[authorellie]

So. I’m trying to rotate an overlay infinite times, so I want it to keep rotating throughout the scene. However, the overlay isn’t moving infinitely.

If someone could help with this, it would be great.

#######################################################
EXT. BLUE - DAY with CHEST OF GOLD VECTEEZY to 0.136 163 246 in zone 2

&overlay CHEST OF GOLD VECTEEZY opacity 1

@transition fade in white 2
&overlay CHEST OF GOLD VECTEEZY rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 3.5 loop infinite times
&overlay CHEST OF GOLD VECTEEZY shifts to 163 246 in zone 2
&overlay CHEST OF GOLD VECTEEZYY scales to 0.136 0.136 in zone 2*

@authorellie

&overlay CHEST OF GOLD VECTEEZY rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 3.5 loop infinite times

Here:

@Dara.Amarie

To have an overlay rotate infinitely, you have to reset the overlay back to 0:

&overlay OVERLAYNAME rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in [time] THEN overlay OVERLAYNAME rotates 0 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 0 loop INFINITE times

Also remove this:

@authorellie

&overlay CHEST OF GOLD VECTEEZY shifts to 163 246 in zone 2
&overlay CHEST OF GOLD VECTEEZYY scales to 0.136 0.136 in zone 2*

And this is not necessary:

@authorellie

&overlay CHEST OF GOLD VECTEEZY opacity 1

If you add an overlay to the background (assuming it’s in the right zone) it will be visible without the opacity command. The opacity is needed when you use the create command for an overlay (usually in the middle of a scene).
