Trigger element selector

Trigger element selector You either type directly your specific elements on Selector Box or use our Selector Detector to scan and pick elements from your Preview Page

You have the flexibility to select specific elements on your page that will trigger all the configurations within your parent timeline. This means that when users scroll down or up to the selected elements, the corresponding functions within the timeline and animations will initiate.

Note: When you ignore this selection part, the selected element in your first animation will be applied by default.

For instance, the #features section is selected to trigger. When users scroll the page down, all the elements inside this section start animating.

Start When & End When Tabs

This ScrollTrigger will be active for detailed setup when the scrollbar is between the A and B positions.
In both A and B points, you can diversify additional functions. Then we made two minis corresponding tabs: “Start When” and “End When”

Viewports

You can recognize there are two additional lines displaying on Preview

(In the "Start When" Tab)Start Viewport Or The ScrollTrigger Start Position refers to the specific point where the animation will commence. By default, it is set to "top-bottom" (meaning the animation will start when the top of the element intersects with the bottom of the viewport)
litemove scroll 8
(In the "End when" Tab)End Viewport Or The ScrollTrigger End Position denotes the precise location where the animation will conclude. By default, it is set to "bottom top" (indicating that the animation will end when the bottom of the element aligns with the top of the viewport).

Other functions

Toggle Actions

How the linked animation is controlled at the 4 distinct toggle places:

  1. On Enter,
  2. On Leave,
  3. On Enter Back,
  4. On LeaveBack,

You can use any of the following keywords for each action: “play”, “pause”, “resume”, “reset”, “restart”, “complete”, “reverse”, and “none”.
The default is “play” “none” “none” “none”.

For example, IfToggle Actions = "play" "pause" "resume" "reset" will play the animation when entering, pause it when leaving, resume it when entering again backwards, and reset (rewind back to the beginning) when scrolling all the way back past the beginning.
