Scrollsequence animates the image sequence on roll per the numbering order. You can drag the images you selected to create a cohesive visual effect. If you're adding multiple scenes, they get added as new tabs. You can also duplicate existing ones to save you time from repeating the same process.

2. Adding Content
Once you've selected the images for a page, you can add content by typing directly into the rich text editor. Scrollsequence displays and animates the content over the image sequence as users scroll through the page. You can add more than plain text, such as shortcodes and embedded text.

3. Adding Animation
Setting up animations is optional. Adding them improves the cinematic effect your image sequence has upon scroll. You have to go to the Text tab of WordPress and add an "id" to each text you want to animate. If you have multiple lines of text, you can animate them differently so they appear at different times while the scroll animation is in effect. Scroll down to the Content Animation settings to add the animation.

Add the ID under the Selector column for the element you want to be animated. You can decide in what order the element becomes visible and hidden. Scrollsequence provides four different types of animations that you can optimize to deliver your message. Once you're done, you now have a scroll animation that fully showcases your brand and its product/service like the one attached below:
4. Other Configurations
Scrollsequence contains more settings that let you configure the presentation of the scroll animation. You can adjust the scaling of the image for desktop and mobile visitors, control the scroll delay, and other aspects to improve the display of the image sequence.
For visual learners, you can follow the tutorial attached below for a quick and easy guide on how to install and start using Scrollsequence.
Scrollsequence Promises Fast Response Times
Uploading multiple images to create your image sequence animation potentially affects the speed of the site. However, Scrollsequence already took this into account as scripts are loaded only when the sequence is present on the page.
The WordPress animation plugin displays the content as soon as the first image loads and then continues to load the additional images in the background. You can also take advantage of smart image loading to control how many images are loaded on page load before the animation is displayed.
Scroll animations implemented via Scrollsequence are also mobile-responsive. The WordPress plugin leverages a GSAP animation engine, which is engineered for optimal performance to handle any animation, ensuring smooth and responsive image sequence animations.
