Your absolutely right. I reduced the image size by 50% and used Horizontal Steps =1 and Horizontal Tiles =2.
The animation works perfectly.

Now I changed the Canvas Size to 1280X720 and it looks good.
Reason for the blank space is for a background image.

This is a base size for HD video.
Anyone using the script with big images will discover this problem. It's not the script. :clap

If the script shifts each frame by 1 pixel this could be increased to 10 pixels.
That would result in less frames and the animation would still look smooth IMHO.

It looks like you aimed for professional animation. I think you achieved that.

The layer doesn't need be the size of the image (of course, if you use ofn-interleave-layers later in the process, all you frames will have the size of the image...). If you look at the example that comes with the script, the bubbles layer is much smaller than the image.

Finished the cars animation. A cut-down from a video clip - they are Holdens no longer in production.

Hello, :)

Pretty animation Tas_mania.

A little detail to make more "realistic"... add shadows under the cars.

Have fun. :)

Thanks Jimmy Marco for the suggestion.
I experimented and used 'Long Shadow' and cut it off below the cars so it looks like its only the road.

Hello, :)

I think it's too dark and too strong.

I have tried with a simple black line aligned with the bottom of each car wheels...
3 pixels thickness, 90 opacity, and fade each front and back of cars :

As you work on transparency with the png's cars, it will be easier for you.
Perhaps it'll be better with 4 pixels thickness... you'll see as you prefer.

Have fun. :)

Thanks Jimmy Marco.
That's a good idea. I already used the drop shadow so maybe next time.

This time I used ofn-interleave-layers to mix the left moving cars with the right moving cars.

A good learning experience for me and appreciate the help from friends in France.
Just realised - Australia drives on the LHS not RHS. What was I thinking LoL.

BTW. Some cars are 'tailgating' other cars. I think it happens all over the World :)

Hi racer - nice background animation - good to see the coyote and road runner are keeping to the wrong side of the road :)

I like your idea to have a scrolling background racer-x :clap

Have given it a try:

Nice one teapot. Where did you get that background tile?

Thanks racer-x.

I made the background, the road is just rectangles. The hills each made from a selection with the free select tool. I put one hill in the middle, did Layer -> Transform -> Offset By width/2, then positioned the other two hills.

It's possible to animate quite long backgrounds, and foregrounds.

The gimp scripted technique animates one frame into multiple frames.

It would be good to shift multiple frames. This is a video cross-fade attempt using a POV bodyboard surf clip.
