Creating a Carousel

The carousel switches the images properly but there seems to be a jank in the animation when it restarts. Opening dev tools, it shows that the opacity changes from 0 to 1 immediately instead of transitioning like the others.

Hey ebinabo. The main issue here is that you are trying to animate the original image from an opacity of 1 to opacity of 1, so naturally it you can't perceive the animation (because the value is always the same).

 

In general you should avoid using onCompletes to reset variables in your animations. It's a whole lot cleaner to create animations beforehand and just let them do their thing, controlling them with control methods as necessary. In fact, not doing so is one of the most common GSAP mistakes.

 

I might set it up along the lines of this:
