Staggered / Combine Scrolling For BG Auto Scroll #19
Description
Describe the new feature you would like to see and how it might function
As suggested by Bluesky user @mrbrownjeremy it would be nice to have a feature where you can offset the scroll by x amount of frames effectively scrolling on 2s 3s 4s etc instead of every frame. The proposed way this could work is that we combine all frames leading up to the desired frame to scroll on. Thus keeping our animation looping correctly (hopefully) but also only moving on the set frames.
Which tool would this most likely be a new feature for
Existing Tool: BG Auto Scroll
If applicable and possible list any steps you would take normally to produce manually
- Select a frame or frame range to scroll on.
- In the toolbar toggle the scroll on x frames input
- Type in the target frame to move on (ie. 4 would move every 4th )
- Scroll like normal
Additional context
A couple of things to consider as the tool is quite complicated:
What happens if we have a number of frames that does not divide by the scroll on x count, how do we handle this?
Will we run in to floating point math issues and inaccuracies? (Currently this is handled with a accumulative error)
How could we make this work with multiple layers selected, would we be able to offset each of those layers to say something like layer 1 = 2s layer 2=3s layer 3 = 4s etc?
