[@swaberin2560]

Can you create a video of how to create overlays please

[@Scarecrowyungxxx]

You can use PicsArt and there you can make an overlay by typing anything u want ordraw anything or also there's a lot types of stickers you can use 'em as an overlay...♡

[@pixiebubbles2628]

It's pretty simple. Find a PNG image online, then either drag it onto your computer's home screen or download it/save it. Next you go to Art Catalog, then overlays. There is a blue button, similar to the Backgrounds button, and you click on that. Click onto the PNG you want, and it should be able to accept it. But it does have a size limit, so not every PNG image will be able to be saved.

[@aa-qg5dj]

Diriliş. _ .Ertuğrul You also do that in pix art by getting an image and erasing everything you don’t want in the overlay and then turning it into a graph background and then just copy it. Then you can paste it into browse when you’re selecting the overlay

[@misa1227]

I can find them on internet also u can make them in picsart,u take the picture with the item you want and only the item u want,also save it as a png!

how can you make a person and an overlay exit at the same time? like for example, i want a character sitting in the car (placed behind the overlay) and the car to appear to drive away and move together, but I can't achieve that by having one exit before the other.

[@collettekitchen6551]

Did you make one of doing something for instance like dancing or having something in someones hand?

[@luxepix6467]

hey i doubt anyone will see this but how do you animate 2 overlays and the same time, under one another? for example a hand handing over a book, so like how do you make them move at the same time?

I'm trying to do an overlay of a car pulling not from screen left but from a direct spot in a zone . Giving the illusion that the car is entering the scene on the road in the background for dramatic effect. Any idea how to do that?

[@aliciawilliams6518]

For some reason any time I try to write in an overlay like that, no matter the opacity I put, it stays transparent. If you're having the same issue as me, I've found that if you put in the scene like normal, then just say with your overlay, it appears and is not transparent. An example would be: EXT. MOUNTAIN ROAD - DAY with BLUE BABY SWADDLE. Make sure the word "with" is not capitalized or it won't work. After this, you can do anything to it you can do by writing it in the other way.

[@lunaa4858]

What about if the overlay appears in another zone rather then the zone you want it in can you write in zone 3 or zone 2 or..?
