Creating scrolling backgrounds made much easier and WAY FASTER!

On June 24th 2020 a user by the name of "Red-Halo" on the Aseprite Discord was in search for a way to animate scrolling backgrounds in a much faster way. I saw this comment and thought this feature could be very beneficial to the community. So naturally I rolled up my sleeves and got to work.

This toolbar started out quite small but has evolved exponentially. Due to this reason I decided that this needed to be its own separate toolbar apart from my main "Carbs Toolbar".

Features:

Minimize To Reduce Its Presence When Not In Use

Built-In Info / Help Section For Quick Reference

Supports 8 Directions Of Scrolling

Supports Multiple Layer Speeds / Parallax

Each layer can be set to a separate speed. Useful for layers that are farther away!

Supports Multiple Layer Directions

Each layer can be set to animate in a separate direction!

Animations Are Inserted At Cel Selection

This allows animations to have other frames that are not animated. Also allows you to produce a pause like effect.

Here Are Some Fun Examples:

I can't wait to see your scrolling backgrounds!
