Yes, I have encountered a similar issue on Webflow where a video player window and an image carousel needed to load and play the corresponding video when an image is clicked. Here's how you can achieve this using Webflow:

  1. Set up the structure:
  • Create a section to hold the video player and image carousel.
  • Inside the section, add a div to act as the video player window.
  • Add an image carousel component, such as the Webflow Slider component, inside the section.
  • Make sure to have a corresponding video for each image in the carousel.
  1. Add images and videos to the carousel:
  • Upload the images you want to display in the carousel to your Webflow project.
  • In the Slider component settings, select "Choose Images" and add the uploaded images.
  • After adding the images, select each image and set its background image to the corresponding video thumbnail. This will make the video thumbnail appear in the carousel.
  1. Create interactions and custom code:
  • Select the image elements in the carousel.
  • Create a new click interaction for each image by clicking the "+" button in the interactions panel.
  • In the interaction panel, choose "Start animation" as the action.
  • Create a new animation for each image, and set the target of the animation to be the video player window.
  • For each animation, set the initial appearance of the video player window as hidden or off-screen.
  • Add a custom code snippet to each animation to dynamically load and play the corresponding video when the image is clicked. You can use Webflow's custom code feature or an external script, like Vimeo or YouTube API.
  1. Preview and test:
  • Preview your project to see the video player window and image carousel in action.
  • Click on each image in the carousel to test if the corresponding video loads and plays in the video player window.
  • Adjust the interactions, animations, or custom code as needed to achieve the desired behavior.

By following these steps, you can create a responsive Webflow project with a video player window and an image carousel that loads and plays the corresponding video when an image is clicked.
