You need to make a copy of that character and delete the name in the ‘display name’ box

what’s wrong with this?

&LILLIAN ROSEBERRY stands upscreen left AND LILLIAN ROSEBERRY is sing_warmup_loop THEN add Microphone Black to LILLIAN ROSEBERRY THEN LILLIAN ROSEBERRY is sing_dance_fingersnap_loop THEN LILLIAN ROSEBERRY is sing_microphone_dance_energetic_loop

**JemU776** · December 5, 2018, 10:41pm

Should be:

@LILLIAN ROSEBERRY stands upscreen left AND LILLIAN ROSEBERRY is sing_warmup_loop

@add Microphone Black to LILLIAN ROSEBERRY

@LILLIAN ROSEBERRY is sing_dance_fingersnap_loop THEN LILLIAN ROSEBERRY is sing_microphone_dance_energetic_loop

That author used overlays : )

Can read about them here: A Guide to Using & Animating OVERLAYS

I’m working on a scene where my 2 characters are in a bar and one of them i want to be behind the bar overlay while the other one isn’t how would i do this?

**RudeInception** · December 6, 2018, 8:53am

So the bar itself would have to be an overlay. Then you’d play around with layers. One of your characters would have to be in a layer higher than the bar and the other character would have to be at a lower layer than the bar.

Hi all!

I have added characters into my scene, but when I review it on the app, it shows that they aren’t even on the screen. I try spot directing them, and it shows that they are in the scene but I can’t find them. How would I go about fixing this issue?

Ex. I have three characters but only two show on the screen.

Thank you, Cortney

Try closing the app and re opening. Sometimes the app glitches and characters don’t show. Also check you’ve spelt the characters name right and you have spot directed to a certain zone if you’re not in zone 1

**Cortney** · December 6, 2018, 7:40pm

I will try that, I have tried to spot direct them in different instances, and it still shows them in a different location. haha

How can I do a facetime conversation with three people, and with different backgrounds for each person?

I already saw one with a conversation for 2 people but not three.

**Jade.epi** · December 7, 2018, 5:43pm

You need to upload a split screen BG as an overlay. Background & CHAR1 at layers 0&1. Split screen OL at layer 2 and CHAR2&3 at layer 3&4. You will have to bring the overlay down so there is room for CHAR1 at the top. This is the most common way of doing it. I can upload an example later

I hope the picture is easy to follow lol SS taken from I feel it coming - by A.P.

**ColemanS** · December 7, 2018, 10:02pm

Do you maybe know if she has a drive so I can maybe use it?

**Jade.epi** · December 7, 2018, 10:12pm

Unfortunately not. But there are loads of others have backgrounds like these

**ColemanS** · December 7, 2018, 10:16pm

Any idea who may has an overlay/background like this?

How do I make a speech bubble on the phone screen without the character in the corner?

**Jade.epi** · December 8, 2018, 11:39am

Off the top of my head, no I’m sure there is split screen BGs in the episode catalog. You can save these and convert them to PNG and upload them as an overlay
