Scroll Effects Pro

How to set up and style the Scroll Effects extension in Elementor.

Scroll Effects ties the look of a widget, container, section or column to its way through the screen while the page scrolls. The element can move up, down or sideways, rotate, grow or shrink to its normal size, sharpen from a blur and fade in or out. Use it for parallax layers and content that settles into place as it comes into view.

Part of: Bright Addons Pro.

Set it up

  1. Select the element, open the Advanced tab and open the section Bright: Scroll Effects.

  2. Switch on Scroll Effects.

  3. Set Move Up or Down (px) or Move Sideways (px) for movement, and Rotate (degrees) for a turn.

  4. Set Start Size (percent) and Start Blur (px) if the element should grow, shrink or sharpen.

  5. Pick a Fade option and choose where the change ends in Size and Blur Finish At.

  6. Select the screen sizes in Active On, then scroll the page to check the result.

Options

These options are in the Advanced tab of the element.

Tips

  • The effects are switched off completely for visitors who ask their system for reduced motion.

  • Movement is centered: the element is shifted one way when it enters at the bottom, sits in its own place about halfway, and is shifted the other way when it leaves at the top.

  • Fades use the first and last 30 percent of the way through the screen.

  • Phone is not selected in Active On by default. Add it if the effect should also run on phones.

Questions and answers

Why does nothing happen on my phone?

Active On includes only Desktop and Tablet by default. Add Phone to run the effects there.

Is this the same as an entrance animation?

No. Scroll Effects follow the scroll position, so they also run backwards when the visitor scrolls back up.

Can I combine several effects on one element?

Yes. Movement, rotation, size, blur and fade can all be set on the same element.
