I do it all the time. The problem is that the overlay won’t go to the default position. I think the black background is a different size than a normal background? But if you zoom out, you’ll see it.
I just tested it with the selfie overlay and it’s definitely there =)
…I believe you. I’m just a bit sceptical because I’ve seen a lot of code OGs say that it’s not possible and I’ve tried it sooo many times. Maybe if you make a detailed guide?
INT. BLACK - NIGHT with SELFIE FEMALE 4 to .009 -8 -14 in zone 1
Magic 
But notice how much I had to scale it? Overlays definitely do work on the black BG though, you just need to fiddle with them a lot more.

Yeah and normally north-east of zone 1 lol. I find custom overlays often have the same issue (on any background, not just the black one).
No problem!

No problem! These forums are great for learning things like this 
I can’t even remember how I figured it out but I’ve been using overlays on a back background since before we could upload our own.
wait how do i change the month and date on that overlay
cause its winter at night in my story and it says april at 2 pm lol
You can’t change that as it’s part of the image. You’d need to upload your own overlay.
how would i upload my own with a certain time and month
I would save a copy of that overlay and then go into some editing program ( I like pixlr.com) and erase the current date and time and put in my own. Make sure you save it as a PNG.
Personally, I don’t even pay attention to that lol. I had no idea what the time was on that overlay
