Locking the Background
Locking the Background
Hello! Would I be able to find out how to lock the background on Shot Designer and move multiple elements (characters, cameras, etc.) en masse into a different area? I manage to do it accidentally quite a bit, but whenever I want to do it on purpose, I simply can't figure it out. Thank you!
Hi,
It's a bug, fixed in the upcoming release. Basically, it's the multiple selection accidentally grabbing the background, which is supposed to be unmovable. It's only the UI object that moves, the data doesn't change (background images are always at 0,0). If you close and reopen the file, the background will jump back to its original position.

Hey Per: I found that moving the background actually worked and 'stuck'. Today I was actually trying to select the background image to be able to move it. I'm assuming this was fixed in the latest update, but just letting you know that I was definitely enjoying the ability to move the background. It helps when you are setting up templates with lots of characters and cameras. It's not great that the BG image can only be zoomed and rotated. I think it might be nice to be able to adjust it in the BG image placement window or something going forward. in addition to zoom and rotate. Just my 2 cents.
