To maintain the blur effect on elements in a moving carousel in Webflow, you can use the combination of CSS and interactions provided by the platform. Follow these steps:

  1. Create the carousel: Start by creating a carousel using the slider or grid element in Webflow. Add the desired elements to the carousel, such as images or text.

  2. Apply blur effect: Select the element(s) that you want to have the blur effect on. In the Style panel, navigate to the filters section and choose the "Blur" option. Adjust the blur intensity to your preference.

  3. Create interactions: Go to the Interactions panel in Webflow and create a new interaction. Link the interaction to the carousel element.

  4. Set up initial state: In the interaction editor, set the initial state of the element to have the blur effect applied. Enable the "Affect different elements" option if you want to apply the blur effect to multiple elements simultaneously.

  5. Define trigger and animation: Choose the trigger for the interaction, which can be on page load, hover, click, or scroll. Define the animation you want to apply to the carousel, such as a slide or fade effect.

  6. Add interaction steps: Within the interaction editor, add a new step and select the element(s) with the blur effect. Set the step's animation to "None" and the duration to 0ms.

  7. Set up move steps: Add another step to the interaction and choose the movement animation you want for the carousel. This could be a slide or move animation to create the desired carousel motion.

  8. Apply blur effect to move steps: In the interaction editor, locate the step(s) responsible for the carousel's movement and apply the blur effect. Set the blur intensity to match the initial state of the element(s) with the blur.

  9. Preview and adjust: Preview the carousel and make any necessary adjustments to the blur effect or animation settings. Repeat steps 6-8 for any additional movements or transitions in the carousel.

By following these steps, you can achieve a carousel in Webflow that maintains the blur effect on elements as they move.
