Hello! I notice a warning in my script, it says that I need to use the word “in” before specifying the duration. The warnig symbol is next to the line:
label Leora_flashback_1
I also wanted to know how I can prevent from making whatever mistake I made again. Thanks so much for all the help!
Can you screenshot the script to fully understand the problem?
Ah so you need to write in before you write the duration
Example:
@transition fade out black in 2
Or
@CHARACTER walks to spot (whatever) in 2
(You can change the duration by increasing and decreasing the numbers)
INT. BLACK - NIGHT
@AUNT KAYSA enters from right to screen right
@LEORA enters from left to screen left

I guess so..
This is my script, the warning symbol is next to label Leora_flashback_1. It tells me I need to use the word “in” before specifying the duration. Does this help more?
@transition fade out white in 1.5. 
It kinda shows the exclamation mark on the wrong line, but this is the line it wants you to fix.
Also these.
You seriously need to make a thread about directing lol you’re just so easy and smooth with it all the time 
I did what you said but the warning is still there, on the same line.
Eyyy, ty lol. 
Hmmmm… 
Maybe it’s complaining about this:
These would need a screen position, like “…walks to screen center in zone 2”
Oh, alright, thank you! 
I didn’t notice that in my script. Thanks for pointing it out to me and being so helpful.
Um… the warning is still there. Maybe there’s something missing in my script? I’m not sure and so confused, my review plays until you get to:

It stops, it doesn’t show them doing these actions and stops completely at the background, nothing else plays out. Could this be the problem?
That one needs a screen position or spot as well.
Alright, thanks!
