Well they've at least made it that we can remove stories out our stories list on the portal and so we can archive stories too, so at least that's a start.

how to do you zoom from someones feet to someones head?

[@memequeen8977]

search this: spot speech bubbles, shaking camera and more! | episode tutorials

[@mayap9017]

This is just a quick script that i wrote up to help, the numbers will depend on where your character is standing, but i advise you to just try out this scene with one of your characters so you can see how it works, basically you need the numbers at the start and the numbers at the end to be the same...and also the percentage... you'll understand what i mean if you try this out lol EXT. JEZEBEL STREET - NIGHT @CON spot 0.596 184 209 AND CON starts curtsey @transition fade in 3 @pause for a beat @zoom on 184 26 to 742% in 0 @pause for a beat @zoom on 184 238 to 742% in 4

[@drnkdatteabish3110]

ok thx that was so helpful, but on my episode it stays zoomed for the entire story if i put that in, so how do i stop it

[@samanthalarsson6575]

you stop the zooming with @zoom reset

[@pnksherbert3878]

1. zoom on the characters feet 2. copy the coordinates at the bottom of the screen (@zoom on [numbers] to [number]% in 0) 3. paste the coordinates in your script 4. add a "pause for a beat" or do a "pause for 2/3" 5. zoom on the characters head (repeat step 2 and 3) 6. add a timing (@zoom on [numbers] to [number]% in 3/2 (repeat step 4) 7. then put "@zoom reset" i hope this helped.

how do I get a character to exit a scene sad? You're videos are very helping by the way, thank you:)

[@gabriellalacivita2102]

let's say I had a character named Blue. Blue is a girl. I would code in: @BLUE exits right in 3 AND BLUE is walk_sad in 3 means how many seconds she'll exit out. so if i want her to take one second to walk somewhere, i would code @BLUE exits right in 1 etc. obviously your character can exit left, i just typed right. :)

[@izra-ef8kd]

Thank you so much for this. My episode is almost complete and this is just what I needed. But i also need Help. Can you help me figure out the punching animation?

This might help you (the placement is for the center): For FemalexMale: INT. BLACK - DAY @pause for a beat @YOU spot 1.280 20 0 AND YOU faces right AND YOU is idle_punch AND ANAKIN spot 1.280 300 0 AND ANAKIN faces left AND ANAKIN is idle_punch @YOU is punch_jab AND ANAKIN is punch_receive @YOU is idle_punch AND ANAKIN is idle_punch @ANAKIN is punch_jab AND YOU is punch_receive For FemalexFemale: INT. BLACK - DAY @pause for a beat @YOU spot 1.280 20 0 AND YOU faces right AND YOU is idle_punch AND YURIA spot 1.280 300 0 AND YURIA faces left AND YURIA is idle_punch @YOU is punch_jab AND YURIA is punch_receive @YOU is idle_punch AND YURIA is idle_punch @YURIA is punch_jab AND YOU is punch_receive For MalexMale: INT. BLACK - DAY @pause for a beat @ANAKIN spot 1.280 20 0 AND ANAKIN faces right AND ANAKIN is idle_punch AND KEAHI spot 1.280 300 0 AND KEAHI faces left AND KEAHI is idle_punch @ANAKIN is punch_jab AND KEAHI is punch_receive @ANAKIN is idle_punch AND KEAHI is idle_punch @KEAHI is punch_jab AND ANAKIN is punch_receive Of course you'd have to change the background and Characters names and make them properly walk to the spots and all. After that you can just continue making them punching each other until it ends or someone faints, whatever you intend on doing. Hope that helped!

[@annaburai6420]

Hey guys, I am progressing with my story, but unfortunately I ran into a problem that I just cannot fix. What I want, is a pan in a school scene between zone 1 and 3. There is no dialogue, just animations of the characters silently talking to each other, reading their phone, etc. The problem is, that the camera stays on the students in zone 1 until they finish the talking animation, and it starts to pan just after that. It should start at the very beginning, including all the students and all animations. This is what the script looks like at the moment: @CARLOS spot 1.280 80 -1 AND CARLOS faces right AND CARLOS starts talk_excited @STUDENT 2 stands upscreen right AND STUDENT 2 faces left AND STUDENT 2 starts admire @transition fade in black 4 @STUDENT 3 spot 0.840 77 215 in zone 2 AND STUDENT 3 faces right AND STUDENT 3 starts talk_arms_crossed_loop @STUDENT 1 spot 0.840 174 212 in zone 2 AND STUDENT 1 faces left AND STUDENT 1 starts think @RANDY spot 0.670 261 308 in zone 2 AND RANDY is read_phone_neutral @STUDENT 4 stands upscreen right in zone 3 AND STUDENT 4 faces left @STUDENT 4 is talk_phone_excited_loop @STUDENT 5 spot 0.840 96 225 in zone 3 AND STUDENT 5 faces right @STUDENT 5 is idle_notepad @pan to zone 2 @pan to zone 3 Can u please help me fix this?

[@ellemcfadyen3500]

hello! Im trying to find out about how to do that type of zoom where it dips down a bit before fully zooming in instead of zooming straight in or timed, or anyting like that. I'm really not sure what its called but I've seen a few authors use it and I saw it in a video once a while ago when I was starting out but don't remember what it was called. Its not the 'feet to face' zoom thing though. I'm sorry its a little hard to explain, anyone know what im talking about?

[@Vaishnavi_k503]

I wanna know the same

[@labibarahman9546]

This is cool

[@allison5801]

How do you do two people for zoom

[@aerithff7]

Somebody please reply if you can..! I'm using the background "INT. HOSPITAL HALLWAY2 - NIGHT" and I want to do that thing where it gives you 4 choices to go to each room and if you go in the wrong room it takes you back to the choices.. I hope that makes sense.. anybody know how to do that? I think you need like a label involved or something but I can't quite figure out what it is! I'm using the INK characters. Thanks..

[@Unstableo]

Yes, you do it with labels - just like in a dressing game! Let's say we name this part Room Game and the correct door to go to would be the third one, okay? Then that's how you do it: label Room Game CHARACTER (think) (What door should I check?) choice "First one" { Here you make the character go to that door. If it is the WRONG door, you usually let them come back again and put this at the end: goto Room Game } "Second" { Same here again. goto Room Game } "Third" { Now that this would be the correct door to enter you basically do nothing, except for revealing that it is the right door and you can continue after the whole label. } "Last one" { goto Room Game } So here you can go on with the story. I hope you could understand it somehow, if you have more questions feel free to ask ^.^
