Can you post the part of the script where error comes up?

It happens after everyone exits

Are you sure you didn’t misspell some name of your character? Can you post the whole line in here?

No I didn’t misspell anything wrong. They are at a party and they decide to play a game

After they ask everyone to leave is where they pause without any movement

@RudeInception any idea?

it happens to me sometimes if I misspell something, and often when I use props.

If you can copy the line of your script when they starting exiting we can check if it looks good.

We’ve enjoyed everyone’s company, but at this moment we ask that everyone exits left.

@HARRIS exits left AND KENT exits left AND LESLIE exits left AND DALE exits left AND MONTY exits left AND IAN exits left AND JOEY exits left AND BLAKE exits left

After this line it supposed to go to the line at the bottom but it gets stuck

INT. BLACK -NIGHT
NARRATOR
Mean while
INT. PHILADELPHIA BEDROOM NIGHT
@HEAVENLY stands screen right and HEAVENLY faces left

@ACE stands screen center and ACE faces right

Hi, i need help with this overlay. I want both characters to be in front of this overlay but even when I changed the layers they’re still behind it.

INT. PINK BEDROOM - DAY with NOVA BEDROOM WINDOW to 1.000 -1 0 in zone 1 at layer 100
@LUNA moves to layer 300 AND LUCIANA moves to layer 300
@zoom reset
@transition iris in black in 1
@LUCIANA enters from left to upscreen right THEN LUCIANA faces left AND LUNA enters from left to screen left

| reset |

Yes, that’ll work

When you use “enters from left/right to screen position” it defaults the characters to no layers. So you will need to use spot direction and place your characters offscreen with their layers, then make them walk onscreen.

Try this:

INT. PINK BEDROOM - DAY with NOVA BEDROOM WINDOW to 1.000 -1 0 in zone 1 at layer 0
&LUCIANA spot 1.28 -100 0 in zone 1 at layer 1
&LUNA spot 1.28 -100 0 in zone 1 at layer 2
@zoom reset
@transition iris in black in 1
@LUCIANA walks to upscreen right THEN LUCIANA faces left AND LUNA walks to screen left

Instead of @CHAR1 exits left AND CHAR2 exits left…

Try this:

&CHAR1 exits left
&CHAR2 exits left

This really does seem like a stupid question, but here I go.

I currently have a story in Limelight style and I’m 7 chapters in, but I wanted to transform it in INK style: same storyline, same characters, the only different thing would be INK style. If you have done this, have you noticed a different engagement between styles? Have your views in each changed from each other? Is there anything I am not contemplating? I know it will obviously take me some time due to the creation of characters and outfits, but I have read that some people prefer INK to LIMELIGHT and viceversa. Basically, is it worth it?

Thank you in advance,
Late In The A.M.

I think the INK characters are more expressive. I read stories in Limelight style sometimes but I can’t really get into them. So I would do it :slight_smile:
