Alright Toasty? How on earth does one animate a background like that?
I tried all sorts and still looks ropey...
Any tips will be much appreciated.
:D

with great difficulty
I would say you want 3 frames that clearly show a tree moving back before reaching the location of the 1st one on frame 4.
Do this for both sides but offset.

The problem you have here is that there are too many trees to deal with. Might be easiest to start without any trees, make one on a seperate layer and duplicate that. People aren't going to notice that they are the same tree.

make a few larger background copies and duplicate them all
then for each frame, show 2 backgrounds, 1/2 the loop length apart.
Fade the top bg layer out from 100% to 0% over the length of the loop.

or something like that!

It looks pretty good to me
The brain seems to compensate for any "ropeyness", in that it assumes the background is supposed to be moving forwards (or sometimes backwards!)

You're too kind, but every bit a gentleman.
Thank you.
