Writer Warning (Overlay)

What does it mean? My overlay doesn’t want to work :no_mouth:

Script :

I think you meant to put the code for the overlay first, if you don’t want it to be visible at first them type this:

@overlay BALLOONS opacity 0 in 0
@overlay BALLOONS shifts to 200 200 in 999 in zone 1

(YOUR CODE)

When you want it to be visible, type:

@overlay BALLOONS opacity 1 in (TIME)

let me know if this works

I’ll try it! Thanks!

Hi.
I think it means the overlay in question isn’t on screen at the zoomed area(?)
You’ll need to move it so it shows on screen.

<3

does it mean I have to change the size ? (make it smaller?)

I’ll try that!

You haven’t stated a size so the overlay will be the size it was when you uploaded it/it’s default size (1.0), but you need to drag it so that it is on screen at the area where you have zoomed in.

Ahhhh I see!!!

When does that error message pop up? Does it pop up right after the “surprise” dialogue? Or does it pop up somewhere else in your script. Can we see more of your script please?

It pop up after the “SURPRISE”

Script @Dara.Amarie :

Do you want the overlay BaLLOONS to be present and visable from the start? If so you can just add the coordinates you want it to be at to the overlay name at the background.

ex
INT. CLASSIC LIVING ROOM _ DAY with BALLONS to 1.0 200 200 in zone 1 at layer 0

No, I didn’t try to create it. I thought I will see the overlay if I randomly place it

Yes! It needs to be present from the start because there’s a pan to zone 1
