To fix the issue of an auto-self-scrolling marquee not finishing or looping correctly on your client's Webflow site, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Adjust the animation duration: A common reason for a marquee not looping correctly is an incorrect animation duration. Make sure that the duration for your marquee animation is long enough to allow it to complete a full loop before starting another loop. Adjust the duration in the animation settings panel.

  2. Check the easing settings: Easing determines the speed at which an animation progresses over time. If the easing is set too fast or slow, it can cause the marquee to finish prematurely or take too long to loop. Experiment with different easing settings to find the one that best suits your requirement. Ease In-Out is a commonly-used easing option for marquee animations.

  3. Add a delay before loop: To allow the marquee to finish before starting a new loop, you can add a delay before the looping animation begins again. You can achieve this by setting a specific delay value in the animation settings panel. Consider your content's length and the speed of the scrolling to determine an appropriate delay.

  4. Check for conflicting interactions: Conflicting interactions or animations on the same element can interfere with the marquee's looping behavior. Check if there are any other animations or interactions that might be conflicting with the marquee animation and modify or remove them if necessary.

  5. Test on different devices and browsers: It's important to test your marquee animation on different devices and browsers to ensure compatibility and smooth looping behavior. Different browsers and devices may have different rendering capabilities, which can affect how your animation behaves. Use Webflow's built-in device preview mode to test the marquee on various screen sizes and use browser testing tools to test different browsers.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue of your auto-self-scrolling marquee not finishing or looping correctly on your client's Webflow site.
