To create a scroll effect in Webflow that fades out one background image while fading in another, you can use the scroll animation feature. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this effect:

  1. Add a section to your Webflow project and set it to full height. This section will act as the container for your background images.

  2. Inside the section, add two divs. One div will contain the first background image, and the other div will contain the second background image.

  3. Set the position of both divs to absolute, and make sure they have the same dimensions as the section. You can do this by setting the width and height to 100% and using the position property to make them stack on top of each other.

  4. Apply the first background image to the first div and the second background image to the second div.

  5. Go to the Webflow Designer, and select the first div. In the animation panel, click on the plus button to add a new scroll animation.

  6. Set the initial state of the first div to 100% opacity and the final state to 0% opacity. Adjust the duration and easing as desired.

  7. Now select the second div and add a new scroll animation to it as well.

  8. Set the initial state of the second div to 0% opacity and the final state to 100% opacity. Again, adjust the duration and easing to your preference.

  9. Preview your site to see the scroll effect in action. As you scroll down, the first background image will fade out while the second background image fades in.

  10. You can further customize the scroll effect by adjusting the trigger and offset settings for each animation. For example, you can set the animations to start when the section is in view or when a certain scroll position is reached.

By following these steps, you can easily create a scroll effect in Webflow that fades out one background image while fading in another. This effect can add a dynamic and visually appealing element to your website.
