Endless scrolling background with images.

[josejovel]

Hello everyone,

I've been looking everywhere for a tutorial or any help in creating a background pattern that scrolls in any direction endlessly.

Like in the example below, there is a pattern with a bunch of symbols and they scroll endlessly from bottom right to top left, this runs the entire length of the video.

I want to be able to create something like this with any image(s). Right now I want to make a background for a demo reel with the logos for a bunch of short films as the pattern.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm pretty new at After Effects but I am a quick study.

The trick is to create a tile-able image and animate it (them) in a loopable sequence. Basically animate for position A to position B, where the last frame matches the first. This sequence can be repeated as many times as you need for your total duration. The snapshot function comes in handy here...

Im willing to bet there are other methods as well, following ...
