I am building an animation video, but cannot figure out how to transition the background slide. For example, I want the background to remain the same as the characters continue to move, but the background needs to shift/transition as if the sprites are walking through the "woods" background. Is this even possible? Thanks for your help.

You have two options:
1) use the experimental panning blocks; but these are quite experimental
2) make an animation, and import every frame.
For number two, just make a variable for whether the background should scroll. If it equals 1, then constantly use [next background], and if it is 0, then do not.
You can use:
<when green flag clicked>
<forever if><( 1 <=> n )>
|<next background>
<end>
[/blocks]
For this.

You mention "experimental panning blocks" -- where can I find these? I've looked in Scratch 1.4, the Scratch 1.4+BYOB2 version, and in Scratch 1.2 with "show experimental blocks" turned on. I can't find a block that mentions panning in any of these places.

You use horiz. and vert. pan. (From the 1.2 experimental blocks)
You must, however, run these scripts on the stage.

Thanks. I downloaded Scratch 1.2 again, and found the "change horizontal pan" experimental blocks.
After shift-clicking the R in Scratch to "enable experimental blocks" and selecting the Stage, I had been looking in Motion and Looks menus. But it turns out for some reason the experimental blocks to pan the stage background appear in Sound.

Yes, they do.
I think that they are there, and in sensing just as a placeholder for before they get their own category.
