Hi!
I have a problem with transitions and I don’t know what to do…
The scene opens with seeing the character and then the transition happens while the transition should be done with the character in it and not before…plz help!

Hey! For every line before the transition (where the characters are spotted), add in the & symbol instead of @.

The transition looks choppy because the script is picking up that you want a transition too late. It picks up first that characters are being placed, then realizes you want a transition. If you want it to transition with the characters already in place, you need to use the & symbol for placements to tell the script that you want both done simultaneously

It’s odd that it didn’t. It won’t read it right if you have one.

Should I put @ for transition and try it like that?

Yes, that should work. Also, if you’re transitioning into a scene, use the fade in command, you currently have “out”
