syntax error animate and overlay

[trolltuning]

I've been trying to play around with animate and overlay and I'm making a dumb mistake but can't find it. The last two lines(commented out) each work but the animate line doesn't-it keeps saying invalid arguments.

imagesource("C:/WINDOWS/DESKTOP/uscweb/van101.JPG")
loop(300)
assumefps(29.97)
video1=last
blankclip(length=300,fps=29.97)
video2=last
animate("overlay",video2,video1,x=400,y=200,video2,video1,x=50,y=200)
#overlay(video2,video1,x=400,y=200)
#overlay(video2,video1,x=50,y=200)

I don't think you can use named arguments (x=...) inside animate. I think you may also need to provide complete argument lists for the calls to overlay, though I'm not sure. You can get around these limitations by writing a script function which takes 4 arguments and cause overlay.

Thanks. It turned out that it was the animate filter that needed the start and stop added as well as taking out the named values. Correct line is below. But now I have a new problem. The overlayed image flips upside down in frame two (and stays upside down). If I correct it in with flipVertical in one frame it still flips again in the other.
animate(0,300,"overlay",video2,video1,400,200,video2,video1,50,200)

Perhaps it is messing up because you're passing fractional arguments to overlay? Try replacingthe 300 with a 350 and see what happens... (I would try it here, but I'm tied up fighting with new input mechanisms...)

I think its fixed, I just downloaded the beta4 version of 2.56 and a similar problem with a script on my home computer dissapeared.
