To make videos on your web splash page autoplay when scrolled into view and stop at the end without looping, you can follow these steps in Webflow:

Add a video element to your web page: In the Webflow Designer, drag and drop a video element onto your splash page where you want the video to appear.
Upload your video: Select the video element, click on the video source link, and upload your video file. Webflow supports various video formats like MP4, OGV, and WebM.
Set the autoplay functionality: Select the video element, go to the Settings panel on the right-hand side, and enable the "Autoplay" option. This will make the video play automatically.
Set the Loop functionality: By default, the video element loops the video when it ends. To disable the looping effect, select the video element, go to the Settings panel, and disable the "Loop" option.
Set interactions on scroll: Select the video element, go to the Interactions panel on the right-hand side, and click the "+" button to add a new scroll interaction. Choose the "While scrolling in view" trigger.
Set the interaction to play and pause the video: Under the "While scrolling in view" trigger, add two actions - one to play the video and one to pause it. To play the video, select the video element in the element dropdown, choose the "Play" action, and set the target element to your video element. To pause the video, follow the same steps but choose the "Pause" action.
Set the video to stop at the end: To make the video stop at the end instead of looping, you need to add a couple of additional interactions. Create a new scroll interaction for the "While scrolling out of view" trigger and add an action to pause the video. This will ensure that the video stops when it goes out of view.
Test and preview: Preview your web splash page and scroll to see the video autoplaying when it's in view and pausing when it's out of view.

By following these steps, you can achieve an autoplaying video on your web splash page that stops at the end without looping, providing a visually engaging experience for your visitors.
