@Sinak Hi I replied to a similar question here: [Importing and moving a transparent gif](https://discuss.pencil2d.org/t/importing-and-moving-a-transparent-gif/4547/2) Basically you have to create at least 2 separate files. One for the main scene with the character, and one with the moving background. In the latter you have to use the camera layer to create a motion of the background and then import it on the main scene where your character is walking in a cycle in the same place. This will give the illusion of the character moving over the background. You can also make the opposite animating the character with a camera against a transparent background and importing that into the main scene with a static background. Another way is to use another software like Synfig to move interactively the character that was animated in Pencil2D. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.pencil2d.org/t/character-movement/4572)._
