A Multilayer parallax section is a great way to add a bit of fluidity to your design, it is essentially adding image layers to your section, each image set to scroll at different speeds.

  1. From the top menu bar, click on the Add Menu (Shortcut: M)

  2. Search for and select Multilayer Parallax

  3. Select it

  4. Hover over the canvas and click where it says Add section here

Styling a Multilayer Parallax section

  • Spacing top: Add padding to the top of the Multilayer Parallax section in pixels or % to keep spacing between sections

  • Spacing bottom: Add padding to the bottom of the Multilayer Parallax section in pixels or % to keep spacing between sections

  • Width: The width of a Multilayer Parallax section can't be altered, it'll always be set to cover the 100%

  • Height: Set the height of the section in Pixels, % or set it to Auto so that it grows as you add content to it

  • Min H: Sets the minimum amount of height pixels a Multilayer Parallax section can be. A red stippled horizontal line inside your section will reflect the minimum height

  • Clip content: Toggle to hide the content that goes beyond the section's edges

  • Resize to fill vertically: Click to set the section's height to 100%

  • Background:

    • Add fill: Add a color as the section's background

    • Add gradient: Combine colors to add a gradient as the section's background

    • Add background image: Upload an image or choose an image from one of our free stock images libraries and use it as the section's background
