Scrollytelling is a great way to add a visual flow to your project. After scrolling through the Scrollytelling section, the background fades into that of the subsequent Scrollytelling section. Meanwhile, elements placed inside Scrollytelling sections continue to move in a standard scrolling behavior.
Note: We recommend that you add two or more Scrollytelling Image sections back-to-back to showcase the smooth transition effect, this will allow you to unleash its full potential.

Tell it with a Collection of Images
Add multiple scrollytelling image sections to have a backdrop that progresses to match the tale.
To Create this example:
Add a scrollytelling image section, and choose your desired image.
Double-click the section to bring up the configuration settings and change to the settings below:
Add a text box with a heading and paragraph.
Add animation to the text box; select load animation with presets “slide from left” and configure with the below settings:
Duration: 1.2 seconds
Movement (?): easeOutQuart
Opacity: start = 0 / end = 1
Move Horizontal: From x = -300, to = 0 for left / From x = 300, to = 0 for right
Add your next scrollytelling image section and use the same settings as the above for uniformity and ease of transition across your image sections. The example above is a collection of four scrollytelling image sections.
