Scene won't show

Hey,
I’ve been testing my Episode script and I’ve written a new scene. When I test the scene by itself everything is fine and it successfully fades in from Black to the background, but when I test it with the entire script the only thing I can see from this scene alone is just a black screen and the text bubbles. What could be the cause? How do I fix this?

I’d like to add a screenshot of the script but it feels like it’s ‘too much’ to add the entire script…
TIA!

u can add that part with fading transition, maybe there’s something wrong with it

scrnst

Alright, now even when I test the scene by itself it’s not working. I don’t know what’s wrong, I didn’t do anything to it :frowning:

put it like this
&CELESTE spot 1.0 137 222 in zone 1 AND CELESTE is talk_sit_neutral_loop AND CELESTE faces right
&GUADIANCECOUNSELOR spot 1.0 263 141 in zone 1 AND GUADIANCECOUNSELOR faces left
@transition fade in black
@GUADIANCECOUNSELOR is talk_agree_happy
CELESTE
…and anyway, that’s how I think we should save the Arctic.

hope it helped

In what line should I put what you suggested? :sweat_smile:

I eventually placed it under the GUIDANCECOUNSELOR faces left,
The problem still persists :weary:

replace the old coding from 2236 to 2244 with my code

I don’t know if I understand the scene but you could try like this…

INT. MAYORS OFFICE-DAY
&CELESTE spot 1.0 137 222 in zone 1
&GUIDANCECOUNSELOR spot 1.0 263 141 in zone 1
&GUIDANCECOUNSELOR is talk_agree_happy AND GUIDANCECOUNSELOR faces left
&CELESTE is tdle_sit_anklescrossed_neutral_loop
@transition fade in black
@CELESTE (talk_sit_armscrossed_neutral_loop)
…and anyway, that’s how I think we should save the arctic.

It’s still not working :pensive:

Question are you reviewing it from your phone or from your computer?

I mostly use my computer but I reviewed it through my phone as well, nothing changed. After using @HayleyReed 's code I can review the scene by itself and everything looks fine, but when I try reviewing everything together the screen fades out from the previous scene into black and then it fades in, but the screen is still black. The only thing I can see is the fade in part, but it kinda fades from black to black

reset the zoom and cut to the right zone. it should be fixed

Here’s the problem ('m sure):

You have you specify which zone of the background the scene takes place in.

If you don’t specify the zone, the script automatically places this scene into the zone that was used for the background before.

Hope it helps!

(Put the zone first before anything else).

@ParisAroha is right
You should put it like this:

INT. MAYORS OFFICE - DAY
&CELESTE spot 1.0 137 222 in zone 1
&GUIDANCECOUNSELOR spot 1.0 263 141 in zone 1
&GUIDANCECOUSELOR is talk_agree_happy AND PEDESTRIAN2 faces left
&CELESTE is idle_sit_anklescrossed_neutral_loop
@zoom on 0 0 to 100% in 0
@transition fade in black
CLESTE (talk_sit_armscrossed_neutral_loop)
…and anyway, that’s how I think we should save the arctic.

Yes, thanks :blob_hearts:

I meant this, though:

INT. MAYORS OFFICE - DAY

&cut to zone 1

&CELESTE spot 1.0 137 222 in zone 1

&GUIDANCECOUNSELOR spot 1.0 263 141 in zone 1

&GUIDANCECOUSELOR is talk_agree_happy AND PEDESTRIAN2 faces left

&CELESTE is idle_sit_anklescrossed_neutral_loop

@zoom on 0 0 to 100% in 0

@transition fade in black

CLESTE (talk_sit_armscrossed_neutral_loop)
…and anyway, that’s how I think we should save the arctic.

(I just put a space between everything to make is readable)

Ahh! I read zone as zoom for some silly reason…

this happens when you have in previous scene zoom and you forget to reset it in a new scene.

just ad

&zoom reset under the background at it will be most likely solved.
