I have an animation, I added a background image but I noticed everything is automatically parented to the root. Unfortunately I animated everything including the Root bone to move in a certain manner. Now the background image moves around with the rest of the animation up and down. Is there a way to make another additional root bone which is NOT influenced by anything so it stays put, that way I can parent the background to it, or is there a way to remove any of the animation? I cannot seem to find the individual tweens in the timeline so I can delete the background moving around so Im out of ideas. I also cannot drag the new bone ON TOP of the root to set it apart.. :sweat:

Welp, I sorta solved my issue but it was kind of a shoe string solution. If I followed your directions, wouldn't any new bone I created automatically be "under" the root bone therefore still influenced by it, i mean - any bone you create seems to automatically be a child of the root (the red line points straight from the new bone to the root)? Basically all bones created cannot superseded the root bone?

My solution: I made a copy of the entire skeleton, I went to the little skeleton figure on the top of the list, and hit "copy," So now I had to exact copy of the skeleton (two rigs). I took one skeleton and deleted all the bones/images except the background. Then I placed that one under the main skeleton. So now I had the main rig on top, I could do any animation to it and it would have no influence to the rig under it. I imagine a similar solution would be to import a another project, this would place the project again in its own root/hierarchy etc.
