Spotting Help & Proofreader needed

[spence_writesepisode]

Hello again, so I’m currently in the mist of completing the first episode of my first story but there is a problem, in one scene I have a character sitting along with another character. The character(counter-main) character stays, but the main character isn’t there when the scene changes back, and doesn’t pop back up for a couple of seconds, how do I fix this and here is the coding :
INT. CLASSROOM LA DESK - DAY with DESK CLASS

@cut to zone 1

@overlay DESK CLASS shifts to -2 -3 in zone 1

@overlay DESK CLASS scales to 1.188 1.188

@overlay DESK CLASS moves to layer 10

@EMMA spot 1.280 64 59 in zone 1 AND EMMA faces right AND EMMA is idle_sit_neutral_loop

@EMMA moves to layer 2

@EVELYN spot 1.280 267 51 in zone 1 AND EVELYN faces left AND EVELYN is idle_sit_neutral_loop

NOTE: This is the story setting after the first scene change back, the beginning of the scene the character walks in and sit and that’s working fine, only thing is she’s not there when it changes back.

Also, I need preferably someone who has published a story to be my proofreader. Of course I have friends but they only read episodes and I feel like it’ll be a bit better with an Author as well.

Remove them from the scene and then you can have them walk back in for a couple of seconds by using
@pause for #
Then when you want the character to walk back into the scene put
@CHAR walks to _____

screen commands

back far left
back far right
upscreen left
upscreen right
screen left
screen right
screen center

Or if you want them to walk to a specific spot you say
@CHAR walks to spot x y z in s
If you want them to be doing a specific animation you just add an animation after the command
ei) @CHAR walks to spot x y z in s AND CHAR is (animation) (no parenthisis)

S- is the number of seconds you want them to be walking for

If you dont know how to do spot directing Joseph evans covers it here is the link

I have not published any stories yet but Im just waiting on my episode cover to come in so I really hope you take my advice because this should and will work

if you want all happening in the same moment use & instead of @ by all the commands you have for the scene
