Ok

Please, can you do a template for a bad girl first day entrance at school? If it’s too much hassle you don’t need to.

Hey guys I am writing a story and I am using Limelight Spotlight and I can’t figure out how to get my characters to come in correctly. Do I need to use Spot Directing or something? URGENT! :kissing_heart::thinking:

Here’s a guide on Spotlight:

Got to love Jensen Ackles. (AKA Dean Winchester)

So… Ive been trying to make a scene where basically a guy is taking a picture of his friend and Im using a camera overlay that takes up most of the background and then the character is supposed to stand behind it. However, when I layer the character to for example at layer 1 and the camera overlay to layer 2 or 3 the character would walk in the background and appear behind the camera and then when the characters stops walking it appears in front of the overlay. Does anyone know how I could fix this?

Can you take a screen shot of the problem in you’re script?

Actually I got it to work, nevermind:slightly_smiling_face::joy:

Does anyone know where I can get the tape overlay like this picture and does anyone know how she made her character like this or what behavior it is?

It’s either a background or the whole character is a overlay, the tape, chair, and her action is a overlay.

How do you layer your characters? I know you can do things like “right” or “upscreen right”, and in that scenario the characters are layered properly. But, when you’re doing spot directing, sometimes characters overlay each other in weird ways.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Add in the layer when spotting:

@CHAR spot S X Y in zone # at layer #

Because If I try the “yes” choice, It works But if I try the “no” choice it just goes to the “yes” choice. Please I’m in need of help

Can you show me the dialogue from your script? That will be helpful in order to fix your problem.
