How to make auto scrolling image repeat

I've updated my pen: Updated link The image is now auto looping and going in a single direction. The image scrolls at the speed the user scrolls, however it stays at that velocity. Is there a way I can get it to go back to a default velocity of '1' once the user stops scrolling?

Thanks for that Jack. 

I've updated my pen here I've added to more 'images' that now scroll in alternating directions. However the animations aren't starting at the same time and only begin to work when I scroll up and down. Do I need separate timelines as well as separate fromTo's for each image?

Also after a couple of loops the image appears to 'jerk' backwards, as if the images aren't lined up correctly.

It would be great if I could get some advice on the above.

Hi, I was wondering if there is away to make a smoother transition from where I'm setting the scroll velocity to when I revert back to 

gsap.to(tl, { timesScale: 1, duration: 3, overwrite: true });

I added a delay with "duration: 3" which makes it a bit smoother however adding a an ease 

gsap.to(tl, { timesScale: 1, duration: 3, overwrite: true, ease: 'circa.out' });

doesn't seem to make any difference.

 

Any help would be greatly received.

Thanks nicofonseca, I have "circ.out" in my code, just an error in my message. Still doesn't seem to have any affect in the transition from the updated velocity to the default gsap.to(tl, { timesScale: 1, duration: 3, overwrite: true, ease: 'circ.out' });

Is there a way to achieve a smoother transition?

Hi, I'm trying to change the duration of my animation at different breakpoints.

I'm using ScrollTrigger.matchMedia to set up my media queries however when I resize my browser to check the 2 different durations the animation becomes jerky. Could anyone provide any help to where I might be going wrong? Preview link provided

The problem is that you create a timeline (tl) once and then keep adding to it whenever the breakpoints fire. That's definitely not good - you'll end up with conflicting/competing tweens. You're also creating only one ScrollTrigger outside the matchMedia breakpoints. The whole point of ScrollTrigger.matchMedia() is to create those inside the breakpoints so that they get killed/recreated when appropriate. 

 

You can also return a function that'll get called when the breakpoint no longer matches, so you can .kill() your timeline in there for example.

 

I think you meant to do something more like this:

Thanks for this Jack. When going from a +800px breakpoint to a -800px breakpoint and back again the first and final images don't revert back to their set duration of 10 but stay on a duration of 30 set by the smaller media query and appear jerky. Could you advise on this?

The duration does change. But since you're using .from() tweens, when they get reverted that puts them back to the "from" values and then when your other matchMedia() runs and tries to do a .from() they're already at the same value. You can use ScrollTrigger.saveStyles() to force those to revert to the original. Here's a fork:

I'd strongly recommend making sure you're using the latest version of GSAP/ScrollTrigger too.
