Parallax Previewer App For Macos
What is the parallax artwork?This is an lsr file used by the Apple TV in order to create the cool parallax effect that system uses. In reality, it is just a stack of PNG images on top of each other which the system manipulates at different speeds as you pan across to give the illusion of depth. There is likely no reason you'll need these but I included them just because I find them cool. If you want to take a look at them, use the Parallax Previewer app for macOS.
Want to make an interactive parallax effect? Want a layer to rotate while it is dragged? Drivers are for you. Drivers connect properties to each other using keyframes. Unlike Animated transitions, which occur "between" artboards, drivers work in artboards. Click the Drivers button show or hide the current artboard's drivers. If your mouse doesn't support horizontal scrolling, hold space and drag the Drivers panel to scroll.
If you dislike all of the general zooming and moving and panning and parallax effects and animations in iOS, you can also enable Reduce Motion in iOS to dramatically reduce the number of motion and parallax, which instead causes iOS to replace those zooming animations with a fading transition effect that some users may enjoy more, but also sometimes feels faster for some devices.
