Title: Image Looping
Post by: DanHouston on February 18, 2018, 01:35:29 PM

I created an image of music notes and would like that to loop continuously. The image is in and it scrolls up like I want, but it waits to finish scrolling off the image before it will start it again, which means there is the gap of nothing on the tree. Any thoughts on how to correct that?

Basically start scrolling the image again as soon as the end is reached rather than waiting for the image to scroll completely off the tree.

Thanks,
Dan

Try adding a layer and copying the same effect to that layer timed so it starts as needed. Copy and repeat.
There may be an easier way but I too am new at this.

I was able to make that work. Tricky with the timing and have to make sure each effect is the same length so one does not end up running a little faster. Worst case I can probably make it work this way, thanks!

Any other thoughts or a better way to get this done?

Thanks,
Dan

There is a setting wrap Pictures in the X direction.  Reason I added that feature was because a 360 tree meets in the back and there was no way to have a picture continuously scroll around the tree without it.
