A product turning in space as you scroll is not a video — it is a few dozen still photos, shown one at a time.
The effect on those famous product pages is exactly what Scroll Sequence does: a set of frames captured from a slow rotation or reveal, played back frame by frame as the visitor scrolls through a full-height section.
For every Dynamic Device setting in one place, see the Scroll Sequence block guide.
Before You Start
- Edition: Pro — the Scroll Sequence block needs Nexter Blocks Pro.
- Block to enable: Scroll Sequence, switched on under Nexter > Blocks in your WordPress dashboard.
- Upload the frames in the order you want them played — a still-camera sequence of a product turning, a scene changing, or a chart building up. More frames make the motion smoother; fewer frames make it choppier but load faster.
- A genuine frame-by-frame sequence — a product photographed on a turntable, or a reveal animation exported frame by frame, not just a handful of unrelated photos.
Steps
- Add the Scroll Sequence block and upload your frames under Images Upload, in playback order.
- Set Apply To for what drives the animation as the visitor scrolls.
- Set Apply To to Body or Container, whichever section should own the effect.
- Give that section real height — the more scroll room, the slower and smoother the reveal feels.
- Set Start Offset and End Offset under Style to fine-tune exactly when the reveal begins and ends.
Whatever you point Apply To at needs to be taller than the screen. Measured: a tracked element shorter than the viewport never draws a single frame — the canvas stays completely blank for the whole page, from the first scroll to the last. Give the tracked element real height, either with its own content or a minimum height setting.
How It Behaves
- Enough frames for smooth motion. A turntable shot every few degrees, or an export at a consistent frame interval, reads as continuous; a handful of unrelated angles reads as a slideshow.
- A tall section. The more scrollable height behind the sequence, the slower and more deliberate the reveal feels — a short section rushes it, and a too-short one shows nothing at all, measured.
- Start and End Offset let you hold the final frame a little longer, or start the animation slightly before the section reaches the top of the screen.
- Consider pairing the sequence with a heading or call-to-action that appears once the reveal finishes, using Apply To: Container to keep both in the same scoped section.
Limitations
- This is a still-image effect, not video — motion blur, audio and continuous playback are outside what the block does.
- A convincing reveal needs genuinely sequential source frames; the block cannot interpolate between unrelated images.
- Whatever you point Apply To at needs to be taller than the screen. Measured: a tracked element shorter than the viewport never draws a single frame — the canvas stays completely blank for the whole page, from the first scroll to the last. Give the tracked element real height, either with its own content or a minimum height setting.
Troubleshooting
The motion looks jerky
Add more frames to the sequence, spaced more closely together in the original capture or export.
The reveal happens too fast to read
Give the tracked section more height, or adjust Start Offset and End Offset to spread the same frames over more scroll distance.
Nothing appears in that section at all
The section is probably shorter than the screen — measured, this leaves the whole thing blank. See the container guide.
