So, in this Scrollsequence review, you’ll understand what Scrollsequence is, its features, pros, cons, and some helpful tips to help you create the animated pages better.

What is Scrollsequence?

Scrollsequence is a plugin that helps you create animations in WordPress from a series of images. The way it works is by displaying the order of images one after another, and it starts when users scroll the web page.

You can use it to create a professional-looking website to engage and capture the audience. In addition, businesses can use it to create attractive homepages, landing pages, product showcases, and for lots of other purposes.

Plus, it doesn’t require you to be a fluent designer, nor you’ll have to hire developers to do it. Furthermore, Scrollsequence is available for free, with the option to upgrade to premium.

Adding the scroll animation with Scrollsequence is fairly straightforward. All you have to do is add a number of images, select the animation effect, tweak some basic settings, and add it to a page with a shortcode. That’s all – the animation is activated and visible in your visitors’ devices, whether it is a phone, desktop, or tablet.

The Features of Scrollsequence

Another good part of Scrollsequence is the availability of features. So, let’s see some of its best features.

1. Shortcode Ready

Scrollsequence is a shortcode-ready plugin. As a result, you can create animations separately without interfering with other web pages. And then, adding it to web pages is easy by just copying its unique shortcode to the WordPress page editor.

It’s also beneficial for adding one animation to different web pages in any desired location. In addition, a lot of page builders have support for shortcodes. So, there’s no problem with what page builder you use.

2. Responsive Design

The animations created with Scrollsequence are responsive. So, they stand out in all devices including desktops, phones, and tablets.

For a more optimized appearance on desktops and mobile devices, the documentation of Scrollsequence suggests using images with nearly equal height and width.

3. Page Builder Compatible

Most of the WordPress users are used to creating pages with page builders. However, some plugins don’t comply well with them. But, Scrollsequence is compatible with popular page builders like Elementor, Divi, Oxygen Builder, Beaver Builder, and the default Gutenberg editor.

These page builders make it easy to add the scroll animation with shortcodes anywhere on the page.

 4. Animation Settings

Scrollsequence has lots of useful settings for animating the image and overlay elements.

Firstly, it has the option to element different HTML items like heading, paragraphs, etc. inside the Scrollsequence. Moreover, you’ll get different animation styles that can be triggered at different intervals, making it more professional.

Moreover, you can add a delay parameter that triggers the animation to start a little later, and last a little longer when scrolling. This makes the animation appear very smoothly.

Another important feature, you can set the time interval for the images. It decides how long the image lasts on-screen before changing.

5. Free Trial

Scrollsequence offers the trial of the pro version for 14 days. So, if you want to test the working of Scrollsequence, then you can use it. It doesn’t ask for your payment details, but just your email address and name to keep a record.

6. Image Optimization

To make proper animation, you’ll need a considerable amount of images, 50 at least. So, optimizing them is very important if you want them to load faster.

If you have Scrollsequence pro, then the plugin takes care of optimizing the images for you. That way, your website loads faster, saves server space and improves your website SEO.

7. Custom CSS

If you’re fluent in coding, then you can use custom CSS to modify the animation as you like. With that, you can add more styles and functionalities to the animations.

How to Use Scrollsequence – Some Tips to Help you

I found creating the animation with Scrollsequence fairly easy. You just need to understand the logic behind it and the basics.

I can go on all day explaining step-by-step how to create a good-looking animation. But, you’ll learn better when you try them all by yourself.

You can check their detailed Scrollsequence tutorial on YouTube for reference as well.

However, here are some of my useful tips to save you some time.

Tip 1: Activate the Pro Trial

I suggest you take a trial of Scrollsequence to get a taste of what the premium features it offers. It’s completely free and doesn’t push you to enter your payment details. So, it’s totally risk-free.

For that, all you have to do is go to the Scrollsequence plans page and pick the trial option. You’ll have to enter your email address to receive the link to download the Scrollsequence plugin and a unique activation license code.

So, use them to activate the pro trial version on your website.

ii. Don’t Forget to Enter the Title of the Scrollsequence

Another suggestion is to always start creating Scrollsequence by adding the title first. It’s because it seems like the Scrollsequence animation you save without a title will not be saved.

In my testing, I once missed entering the title. On saving the creation, it notified that it’s published. But, when I checked the list, it was not there. (Maybe it’s a bug – let’s hope the developers will get rid of this issue soon.)

Anyway, the best thing to do is to enter the title as soon as you are in the interface.

Add Heading

Tip 3: How to Generate Image Frames by Frame

Reminding once again – the Scrollsequence creates the animation effect by displaying a queue of images one after another.

Like when I first started, many users could have a hard time creating the sequence of images.

If you just want some images for testing, then you can download demo image packs (pack 1 or pack 2) offered by Scrollsequence.

Or, if you want your own images, then you need a short clip first. Then, you can use online tools like Ezgif Video to JPG to take image frames from the video. Personally, I am not a fan of using these online tools as it has issues like limited size, corrupter output, low-quality images, and more.

Another option – you can hire freelancers who can do the task for you.

iv. Keep the Images in Order

When you upload the images in Scrollsequence creating interface, sometimes they might be added randomly disrupting the flow of smooth animation.

If it happens to you, then you can easily keep them in order by dragging the images in position. Also, it has the option to sort all images by name, date, or reverse the whole order.
