Weather effect problem

Creator's Corner Directing Help & Tips

My script:
EXT. STORMVIEW LIGHTNING - DAY with TITLE with effect HARD RAIN

Error:
The overlay EFFECT HARD RAIN does not exist. Did you misspell or delete it? Try reloading to update your catalog.

Help! What’s wrong with my script? I know I’m not supposed to put weather effect before overlays but I did not… so what could be the problem here?

If it’s saying “EFFECT HARD RAIN” is the issue, then that means you capitalized the word “effect” in your script. It should be lower cased.

Line 33 is where the error is at. You have “with EFFECT HARD RAIN in zone 1 at layer -1” at the end of that line. “EFFECT” needs to be lower cased, and you need to remove “in zone 1 at layer -1”
