Scroll to control video position

[flim]

I saw some websites with smooth scroll video position control like Apple and Samsung, I tried to control the video but the result is very choppy, tried different size of video but the result is not desire. Any suggestion?

Hi flim,

 

I've been trying a similar stuff, and indeed it's choppy, it also depends on the browser used but still, it's an issue.

I had a look at Apple websites, and they actually don't use videos that much (at least not for video control on scroll), but usually they use multiples images coupling with <canvas> for performance. 

 

if you open the dev tool, under network tab, you can the sequence is chopped into single images.

 

 

So you can either animate a sprite image or multiple images using stepped Easing https://greensock.com/docs/v2/Easing :

here is a codepen example :

Easy to understand the principle.

 

and here is an example with the <canvas>:

and my version (choppy as well).

You can find informations on the forum about that , here:

Hope it helps!
