ScrollTrigger scrub "Carousel" effect

Hi there :) I new around here and also to GSAP. I have to develop a carousel like effect of items sliding in and a description fading in/out on each item (but only if the item is centre stage). 

 

What I'm trying to achieve (on scroll/scrub) is to pin the container and slide the items in and out.

The tricky part is that it starts on "item-2" (doesn't show description first time)  then slide "item-2" to the right and "item-1" in.

 

It feels like I'm waaaay off base.  I'm using Timelines - but it feels "jumpy" and not smooth left to right, right to left motions. 

 

Can someone please point me in the right direction?  

 

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the GreenSock forums!!

 

I believe you are on the right track with your approach. Just a few pointers.

 

No need to add an onComplete or onUpdate callback in a timeline instance that is going to trigger a new GSAP instance, just replace the onComplete with another .to(), .from() or .fromTo() instance (depending on what you intend to do) after the instance, and replace the onUpdate with, again, a .to(), .from() or .fromTo() instance using the less than sign "<" as the position parameter and give it the same duration.

 

I'm not sure if this code does what you're after:

TL_items
  .to(".item-description-2", {
    opacity: 1,
  })
  .to(".item-description-2", {
      autoAlpha: 0
    })
  .to(".item-2", {
    x: "23vw", //slide in from left - out of view into view
  })
  .to(".item-1", {
    x: "55vw", // slide to the right of screen - but not out of view
    ease: "power2.out",
  })
  .to(".item-description-1", {
    autoAlpha: 1 // fade in description when centre stage
  })
  .to(".item-2", {
    x: "0vw", // slide to centre
  })
  .to(".item-description-2", {
    autoAlpha: 1 // fade in description when centre stage
  })
  .to(".item-1", {
    x: "0vw", // slide to the right of screen
    ease: "power2.out",
  })
  .to(".item-description-1", {
    autoAlpha: 0 // fade out description when not centre stage
  }, "<")
  .to(".item-2", {
    x: "-43vw", // slide to centre
  })
  .to(".item-description-2", {
    autoAlpha: 0 // fade out description when not centre stage
  })
  .to(".item-3", {
    x: "-55vw", // slide in from out of view
    ease: "power2.out",
  })
  .to(".item-description-3", {
    autoAlpha: 1 // fade in description when centre stage
  })
  .to(".item-2", {
    x: "-75vw", // slide in from out of view
    ease: "power2.out"
  })
  .to(".item-3", {
    x: "-75vw", // slide in from out of view
    ease: "power2.out",
  })
  .to(".item-description-3", {
    autoAlpha: 1 // fade in description when centre stage
  })
  .to(".item-3", {
    x: "-175vw", // slide in from out of view
    ease: "power2.out",
  })
  .to(".item-description-3", {
    autoAlpha: 0 // fade out description when not centre stage
  }, "<-=0.25");

But as you can see is far simpler to follow than the usage of onComplete and onUpdate.

 

Finally take a look at the docs for the GSAP Timeline's position parameter:

And take a look at the documentation regarding easing as well, to ensure that you're using the correct syntax:

Happy Tweening!!!
