To achieve the effect of pausing a section while continuing to scroll the elements inside using Webflow Interaction 2.0, you can use the Scroll Trigger interaction. This powerful feature allows you to trigger animations based on the user's scroll position, creating immersive and engaging website experiences.

Here's how you can implement this effect:

  1. Open your Webflow project and navigate to the desired page where you want to apply the effect.
  2. Select the section or element that you want to pause while scrolling.
  3. In the Interactions panel, click on the "+" button to create a new interaction.
  4. Choose the "Scroll Trigger" option from the dropdown menu.
  5. You'll see a new trigger event added for "While scrolling in view". Click on the "?" icon next to it to set the desired settings.
  6. In the Scroll Trigger settings, you can define when the animation should start and end. For example, you may want the animation to start when the element is 70% scrolled into view.
  7. Now, you can add the desired animation to the section or element by clicking on the "+" button in the Animation section of the Interaction panel.
  8. Select the type of animation you want to apply (e.g., move, scale, opacity) and set the desired properties.
  9. Finally, preview your website to see the effect in action. As the user scrolls, the section will pause while the elements inside it scroll normally.

By utilizing the Scroll Trigger interaction in Webflow, you can create captivating effects where certain sections remain static while the content inside moves, creating a sense of depth and engagement on your website.

Additional Tips:

  • You can create more complex scroll-triggered effects by applying multiple Scroll Triggers and animations to different elements on the page.
  • Experiment with different timing settings and easing options to achieve the desired effect.
  • Always preview your website across different devices and screen sizes to ensure that the effect behaves as intended.

By showcasing your dynamic scroll-triggered effects using Webflow Interaction 2.0, you can enhance the user experience of your website and make it more visually appealing.
