Hi @Nwekar,

 

Does this solves your issue?:

useEffect(() => {
  let tl = gsap.timeline({ repeat: -1 }),
      fadeDuration = 3.5,
      stayDuration = 3;

  let images = [...parentHero.current.children].slice(3);
  gsap.set(images[0], { autoAlpha: 1, scale: 1.1 });
  tl.to(images.slice(1), { delay: stayDuration, autoAlpha: 1, scale: 1.1, duration: fadeDuration, stagger: stayDuration + fadeDuration })
    .to(images.slice(0, images.length - 1), { autoAlpha: 0, duration: 0.01, stagger: stayDuration + fadeDuration }, stayDuration + fadeDuration)
    .set(images[0], { autoAlpha: 1, scale: 1 })
    .to(images[images.length - 1], { autoAlpha: 0, duration: fadeDuration }, "+=" + stayDuration)
    .to(images[0], { scale: 1.1, duration: fadeDuration }, "<");
  return () => {
    tl.revert();
  }
}, []);

Basically I would start the whole thing with the first image with the scale applied to it, then when you reset the opacity you can also reset the scale, otherwise you get a jump on the first image scale when the timeline restarts. Finally you needed to add an instance for the scaling of the first image that starts at the same time as the previous instance in the timeline.
