I want the background to move, can someone tell me how to??

here’s my script: EXT. CHESTNUT HILL DOWNTOWN - DAY with CAR ANGLE SILVER

music car_motor

@zoom reset

@overlay CAR ANGLE SILVER shifts to -311 0 in zone 1
@overlay CAR ANGLE SILVER scales to 1.000 1.000

@POLL spot 0.767 216 135 AND POLL faces right

@YOU spot 0.776 123 123 AND YOU face right

@POLL starts talk_happy_hands_open

@YOU starts arms_crossed

&zoom on 183 146 to 172% in 7

@transition fade in black 3

It has to be a looping background

May I also suggest (I have no idea how this would look, but I think it’s what you’re going for.) using different zooms using the ‘&’ icon. This way you can zoom or move directions in your background while being able to continue your story.

If you want to make the background to loop you need to turn it into an overlay and make it shift and then use the :infinite" command
