Hi all, my screen keeps freezing when it reaches the fade out transition
It was working a couple of days ago before I added the transition, but it still freezes after that line when I take it out. Could it just be my computer isn’t powerful enough to run it anymore? I’m open to suggestions…
I use Chrome. I don’t know if it’s something Episode can fix if I send a support ticket. This is only the intro scenes for my contest entry (that I probably won’t even make anymore ugh).
Can you copy and paste your code here?

I feel the energy sending shivers down my spine.
I just find it really weird because it was working smoothly a couple days ago 
This is the line that is causing the freeze. You have the overlay rotating in a loop in 0 seconds. You need to change the 0 seconds to an actual time.
OMG! Life saver, thank you! I thought my computer had finally given up
One problem, the overlay doesn’t loop spinning, It only spins once then stops. Any idea why?
I have to say this Dara I am a huge fan of your work! you are absolutely amazing! 
I think I know the reason why . It’s supposed to reset back to 0
try this
&overlay RAINBOWFILTER rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in S THEN overlay RAINBOWFILTER rotates 0 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 0 loop INFINITE times
( change the S to how every much time you want it to take rotating )
Just a helpful links for this
Hope this works and if not feel free to correct me @Dara.Amarie 
Yes @Catniss is correct. To have an overlay rotate continuously, you need to have it rotate to 360 then reset it back to 0 and loop that.
