You can use overlays from the catalog background in other scenes, you gotta see this

[line123462]

so some of you know that some background has an overlay there is not in the writer portal. and some of you may wanna use it in another one, here is how

here is a few backgrounds with overlays that i have used in the pictures

INT. GUARD DESK - DAY
INT. GRAND DINING HALL - TABLE - NIGHT
INT. EURO HOTEL ROOM DESK OL - DAY

so how do you this, let’s say I want the dining table from this background on another background

you just do this

INT. SIMPLE LIVING ROOM - DAY with INT. GRAND DINING HALL - TABLE - NIGHT

it is so simple just put it in like an overlay and it works the same way as an overlay it is so easy and I dont understand no one has mentioned it before

I’m probably just being a bit ditzy, but what do you mean?

[line123462]

this overlays are a part of a background and are not an overlay but you can put them in as an overlay like i did show with the pictures

[line123462]

eaxmle if you use the background INT. GRAND DINING HALL - TABLE - NIGHT
there is a dining table overlay in it. but it is not under overlay, you can use it as an overlay adding it as one

Ah cool
