Smoother control with background

I'm currently making a site with a background moving when the mouse moves anywhere on the body. it works but when the mouse stops moving I was it to move just a little more. If you don't' know what I mean this site is an example. At the Patreon section with images of birds, when you move your mouse it has more of a transition when you stop moving the mouse.

Hi,

You good try adding a CSS transition to the .newsletter class like:

.newsletter {
    transition: .35s ease-out;
}

You would likely need to play around with this a bit more to get something a bit smoother.

Or if you prefer, the JS being used on the website you mentioned can be found at:

He appears to be using the class ".layer" as the hook for the JS file.

You could try including the JS file and using a similar structure to the HTML markup and classes on the website to see if you can replicate it, you might get a bit closer that way to either making that JS file work right away or at least get a better understanding of how he has achieved it in the JS file.

Chrome Dev Tools will help a lot here if you want to explore it further
