When I tried doing that it popped up as not a the coordinates for an overlay can only be specified once and I don’t really understand where I put the high light I tried this position to see if it would work

don’t capitalize “in” and “shifts”

Get rid of all the capatlized in’s and shifts?

Yeah, change them to lowercase

that time I did not pres
the second photo is what it shows when I press ctrl F

Don’t capitalize the “overlay” & “loop” either except in the overlay name

And remove that | highlight: grey | cause it’s not valid.

So uncapitalize all the overlays and loops and don’t press ctrl F affter also?

You can do the Ctrl F thing after. I’m trying to check for more errors. You used Dara Amarie’s template, right? There shouldn’t be this many errors :thinking:

I went back over it and got rid of all the capilzed loops and overlays I’m using her speed 2 looping overlay and Once I did All of that I pressed ctrl F and it did not work

Oh, you made an error even with the template. Did you go through it properly? Hold on

And the last capitalized loop and overlay that’s in the picture I got rid of too

K and thank you so much for taking time out your day to help me also!!

No issues.

This is what you should have in your script

EXT. BLUE - DAY with LOOP_OVERLAY to 1.625 0 0 in zone 1 at layer -5
&overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 create from LOOP_OVERLAY and overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 opacity 1 in 0
&overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 scales to 1.625 1.625 in 0 and overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 0 and overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 to layer -6
&overlay LOOP_OVERLAY shifts to -640 0 in 6 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY shifts to -960 0 in 3 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 0 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 6 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY shifts to 0 0 in 3 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY shifts to 0 0 in 0 loop INFINITE times

&overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 6 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to 0 0 in 3 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to 0 0 in 0 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to -640 0 in 6 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to -960 0 in 3 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 0 loop INFINITE times

Then you’d highlight only LOOP_OVERLAY (DO NOT highlight LOOP_OVERLAY_2) and Ctrl F and then change it to the name of your looping overlay.

Would that mean just highlight the day with and than add the name of the overlay and when you say high light do you mean highlight with episodes highlight or my mouse highlight

What’s “day with”, and I mean your mouse highlight.
