The lower the layer, the further away the character is from the camera. So switch their layers and it should work.

I had a issue for my characters just suddenly pop after being spot directed…what should i do so they look as if they’re since beginning
Also the weather effect stops after the character enters …what can i do about that?

Hi! Try spotting your characters first and changing their outfits later 
Let me know if it helps!

this isnt showing up on the portal and everything is correct
hey , hope you’re doing good.
I wanted to know to know how to zoom and pan while the narrations/dialogues continue to display
i mean to say that in a scene it is zooming / panning to particular dimensions/zones or over a character but along with the character is saying the dialogue or performing a particular animation
Hi! You can do this by using the & symbol in front of your pan or zoom command. You can learn about it in the first episode of Coding 101, which is free to read

(PEARL is a dog character)
The problem is the either the characters wont appear or they face opposite and get stuck, ive brainstormed every possible way but the problem doesn’t solve. I’ve used the template from DARA AMARIE’S templates. The only problem is with the characters .
I’m new to this so i have problems every now and then
ignore PEARLdoesitwhile i corrected it , the problem still exists
Question- what size is your overlay? Unless it’s 1920x1136 it’s not gonna work.

In these pictures the book and the container doesnt go behind the fingers i mean it doesnt look like they are holding those things. If i layer them back the overlay hide behind the character
Unfortunately because it is an overlay and not a prop, it will either be entirely in front of the character or behind the character depending on the layer. If you would like his hand to look like it is in front, you will either have to cut out the spaces for his fingers on the overlay and re-upload it, or upload a limb overlay for the character.

Hi, sorry for the delay! Try to change all of your “does it while”s into “starts” and let me know if it still happens!
