Can anyone help with looping background?

When ever i review my loop it does it, but at the end it kind of reverses to the start, and not keep on looping


i fix the error thing but this is basically what i put

Is the forest loop from Episode life? :thinking: like the background and whatnot because if it is I can switch over to my computer and get the code

no i just downloaded this photo
pv1_back_EXT__FOREST_LOOPING___NIGHT
from the art catalog and made it into an overlay.
my loop looks really choppy for some reason, if you want i can send you the link to the story and u can see it for yourself because like i dont know how to explain lol.

Yeah sure, maybe that’ll help me find out what’s wrong with the looping

yeaa i dont know what to do though lol

if you’re using the code you sent in the screenshot, it won’t work. Looping backgrounds are more complicated than looping just a regular overlay. But Dara has whole template, so you can copy it and adjust to your overlays

I could code it for you if you’d like, just pick a speed and I’ll tweak for you :smiling_face:

thank you so much! if youd like it i can credit you

okay so everything looks fine from my side with the code, just copy and paste it into your script just replace LOOP_FOREST with your overlay name. Also no credit is needed:)

EXT. BLUE - DAY with LOOP_FOREST to 1.625 0 0 in zone 1 at layer -5
&overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 create from LOOP_FOREST and overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 opacity 1 in 0
&overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 scales to 1.625 1.625 in 0 and overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 0 and overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 to layer -6

&overlay LOOP_FOREST shifts to -640 0 in 3 THEN overlay LOOP_FOREST shifts to -960 0 in 1.5 THEN overlay LOOP_FOREST shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 0 THEN overlay LOOP_FOREST shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 3 THEN overlay LOOP_FOREST shifts to 0 0 in 1.5 THEN overlay LOOP_FOREST shifts to 0 0 in 0 loop INFINITE times
&overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 3 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to 0 0 in 1.5 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to 0 0 in 0 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to -640 0 in 3 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to -960 0 in 1.5 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 0 loop INFINITE times
