elementals<br \/>background slideshow feature which<br \/>allows you to set a slideshow as the<br \/>background for sections columns and<br \/>intersections this way you can build<br \/>more complex layouts like the one you<br \/>see here while still preserving cool<br \/>transition effects so let&#8217;s dive in and<br \/>see how it&#8217;s done<br \/>first off let&#8217;s have a look at the<br \/>layout I&#8217;ve created a section that takes<br \/>up the entire screens height and have<br \/>applied a background slideshow to it the<br \/>section has two columns with an inner<br \/>section in the column on the right this<br \/>inner section also has two columns with<br \/>another slideshow set as the background<br \/>in the left one as you can see both<br \/>slideshows fade together giving it this<br \/>cool transition effect there&#8217;s a video<br \/>playing in the background as well but<br \/>I&#8217;ll get to that soon first let&#8217;s start<br \/>creating in our hero section go to the<br \/>style tab and select slideshow as the<br \/>background type add your images to<br \/>create a new gallery you can reorder<br \/>them individually or reverse the order<br \/>like Sir then simply insert it cool now<br \/>let&#8217;s check out the presentation<br \/>settings here we can set the background<br \/>slide show to infinitely loop next we<br \/>can set the slider ration which is in<br \/>milliseconds 4,000 means it takes four<br \/>seconds for the images to change it&#8217;s a<br \/>bit long so I&#8217;ll go ahead and set it to<br \/>a thousand now the images change every<br \/>second here we can set the slide<br \/>transition to fade slide right or left<br \/>as well as down or up I&#8217;ll go ahead and<br \/>set it to fade we can control the<br \/>transition duration as well which also<br \/>is in milliseconds mm for example sets<br \/>the fade transition to take two seconds<br \/>before seeing the following image here<br \/>we can set the Ken Burns effect<br \/>switching it to yes gives us the option<br \/>to set the zoom direction let&#8217;s check it<br \/>out<br \/>great this is the exact effect I was<br \/>looking for the cool thing about<br \/>elementals background slideshow feature<br \/>is that you can use it in sections<br \/>columns and inner sections as you can<br \/>see over here I&#8217;ve added an intersection<br \/>with two columns in the left column<br \/>go to style and change the background<br \/>tab to slideshow select your images<br \/>create the gallery and insert it piece<br \/>of cake<br \/>go ahead and play around with the<br \/>presentation settings I&#8217;ve made sure to<br \/>set the slide and transition duration to<br \/>the same as the hero section giving it<br \/>this cool synchronized background<br \/>slideshow fade effect by the way talking<br \/>about backgrounds in addition to youtube<br \/>we&#8217;ve added Vimeo as a source for<br \/>background videos as well so you can<br \/>enjoy the benefits of your Vimeo account<br \/>in the sections background settings<br \/>simply paste your Vimeo link let&#8217;s check<br \/>it out<br \/>cool one last thing you can also set<br \/>video backgrounds to play on mobile<br \/>Elementor won&#8217;t play them by default but<br \/>you can easily set it by turning on the<br \/>play on mobile switch over here cool<br \/>well that&#8217;s it now you know how to use<br \/>elementals background slideshow feature<br \/>as well as add the cool stuff to enhance<br \/>your website backgrounds and really make<br \/>them stand out
