Scroll animation for developers

Drive animation with scrolling. Read trigger markers, decide what each crossing does, scrub a drawing, pin a chapter stage and layer a hero without moving the words.

ScrollTrigger decisions for everyday pages: start and end positions, toggle actions, scrub, pinning and parallax layers. Horizontal scroll, snapping, smooth-scroll libraries and WebGL are outside this course.

Fit a lab into a lunch break or stay for a spare hour. Progress is saved so you can come and go. Labs need a laptop or desktop; the outline is available on any device.

Included with the Course pass or The Vault. Each learner needs their own account and access.

The curriculum

6 practical labs.
Decisions you can use.

Every lesson starts with a short principle and a page that needs work. You make the changes. The feedback tells you which relationships work and what to try next.

By the end, you can

  • Read and set ScrollTrigger start and end positions
  • Choose all four toggle actions deliberately
  • Scrub progress with a sensible runway and smoothing
  • Pin a stage with spacing and readable chapter timing
  • Layer parallax without moving the text

Basic HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and a first look at GSAP tweens. Motion design for developers is recommended preparation; no ScrollTrigger experience needed. Use a laptop or desktop with a browser window at least 1024px wide. Work at your own pace; there is no timer.

Proper interaction.

Scroll a live page with real ScrollTrigger markers. Drag start and end lines on a viewport schematic, build the toggle-actions sentence, drag chapter keyframes on a pin track, set layer speeds and inspect the generated GSAP. Every drag has keyboard controls.

A completion record.

Pass the practical checks in each lab to create an optional certificate with your name and a verification link. This records course completion; it is not an accredited qualification.

For you, or your team.

This course is included with the Course pass or the Vault. Each person needs their own account and access, with a separate learning record and optional certificate.
