Pinspacing leaves too much whitespace below section

[Volt 22]

Hello everyone,

On the site - https://www.voltmeup.com/, I have a section with a grid with the header on the left pinned to the top of the viewport, and content scrolling on the right. 

Without pinSpacing, there seems to be some issues with the sections following, the next section contains a background video, and is supposed to be pinned to the top of the viewport as well, but it doesn't get all the way to the top before it is pinned, and the footer gets cut off as well.

But with pinSpacing enabled, there is too much whitespace below the section in question, however, everything else looks fine. How do I get rid of this whitespace caused by pinSpacing.

It's pretty tough to troubleshoot without a minimal demo - the issue could be caused by CSS, markup, a third party library, your browser, an external script that's totally unrelated to GSAP, etc. Would you please provide a very simple CodePen or CodeSandbox that demonstrates the issue? 

 

Please don't include your whole project. Just some colored <div> elements and the GSAP code is best (avoid frameworks if possible). See if you can recreate the issue with as few dependancies as possible. If not, incrementally add code bit by bit until it breaks. Usually people solve their own issues during this process! If not, then at least we have a reduced test case which greatly increases your chances of getting a relevant answer.

 

Here's a starter CodePen that loads all the plugins. Just click "fork" at the bottom right and make your minimal demo:

If you're using something like React/Next/Nuxt/Gatsby or some other framework, you may find CodeSandbox easier to use. 

 

Once we see an isolated demo, we'll do our best to jump in and help with your GSAP-specific questions.

Sorry I didn't include any demo, it's a live site, and I'm not sure how to replicate the issue.

It's pretty difficult (nigh impossible) for us to assist without seeing the code I'm afraid. 

There's not really a way to get rid of the whitespace caused by pinspacing. That's what pinSpacing does. It adds space underneath pinned elements. Sometimes this can be solved by pinning a container element instead. But I can't see your markup, your JS or your styles so I don't really know what to suggest here.

I was trying to create a minimal demo but I couldn't replicate the issue. 

However, I managed to solve the problem, I just made the container of the pinned element the pinSpacer.

Thank you @Cassie and @GSAP Helper
