cool<br \/>mountain scene here a section with<br \/>parallax effect you&#8217;ll see how to<br \/>combine image layers motion effects and<br \/>absolute positioning to bring the design<br \/>to life so you can create cool motion<br \/>effects like these with your designs as<br \/>well so let&#8217;s dive in and see how it&#8217;s<br \/>done let&#8217;s start off with the hero<br \/>section I want the heading widgets to<br \/>stay where they are while scrolling this<br \/>way the mountains will cover them as<br \/>well so under advanced go to custom<br \/>positioning and set the position to<br \/>fixed I&#8217;ll change the horizontal offset<br \/>unit to VW and set it to 2 I&#8217;ll do the<br \/>same for the vertical offset and set it<br \/>to 25 I&#8217;ll go ahead and do the same for<br \/>the second heading here I&#8217;ve set the<br \/>vertical offset to 20 now let&#8217;s start<br \/>creating our mountain scene for this<br \/>design I&#8217;ve created a couple of image<br \/>layers and together they make up the<br \/>scene this allows us to add motion<br \/>effects to them and creates this subtle<br \/>movement where the mountain covers the<br \/>headings so I&#8217;ll go ahead and drag in an<br \/>image widget and I&#8217;ll choose this image<br \/>as the first layer set the image size to<br \/>full and under advanced and custom<br \/>positioning change the position to<br \/>absolute this allows us to add multiple<br \/>images on top of one another and create<br \/>the layered motion effect I want now go<br \/>ahead and duplicate the image and add<br \/>the next layer I&#8217;ll repeat this a couple<br \/>of times until my scene is done ok great<br \/>that looks good now as you can see the<br \/>heading widgets have disappeared so<br \/>let&#8217;s bring them back by changing the<br \/>z-index of our layers<br \/>first off I&#8217;ll open the navigator so<br \/>it&#8217;s easier to see the widgets select<br \/>the heading widgets and under advanced<br \/>set there z-index &#8211; &#8211; ok great now I&#8217;ll<br \/>go ahead and set the z-index of the<br \/>upper mountain layer images to 1 this<br \/>way they all appear behind the text now<br \/>the mountain layer images that will<br \/>cover the text while scrolling down they<br \/>need to repair about the<br \/>next widget so I&#8217;ll go ahead and select<br \/>them and set their z-index to three okay<br \/>great now that we&#8217;re done in<br \/>everything&#8217;s in place let&#8217;s add some<br \/>motion to the scene I&#8217;ll go ahead and<br \/>select the first mountain layer image<br \/>and under advanced in motion effects<br \/>switch on scrolling effects hit the<br \/>pencil icon next to the vertical scroll<br \/>to switch it on and set the direction to<br \/>down and speed to twelve go to the next<br \/>image and like before set the direction<br \/>to down but set the speed to eight<br \/>instead the same with the next image<br \/>here I&#8217;ll set the speed to six you get<br \/>the picture I&#8217;ll set this one to five<br \/>and the last one to three now let&#8217;s go<br \/>to the section settings I want the Sun<br \/>background image to stay put when we<br \/>scroll so in style set the attachment to<br \/>fixed great let&#8217;s move on to the second<br \/>section I&#8217;ll go ahead and drag in an<br \/>image widget over here and set its size<br \/>to full and under advanced I&#8217;ll change<br \/>the position to absolute horizontal<br \/>orientation to right and I&#8217;ll change the<br \/>offset unit to VW and negative 15 I&#8217;ll<br \/>do the same for the vertical offset unit<br \/>and set it to negative eighty as you can<br \/>see it moves app so it blends in nicely<br \/>with a mountain scene okay great now<br \/>let&#8217;s add some motion effects to this<br \/>sections content for the first heading<br \/>under advanced switch on the scrolling<br \/>effects set the direction to down and<br \/>speed to five set the viewport to<br \/>between zero and fifty percent on top of<br \/>this I&#8217;ll add a transparency effect so<br \/>switch it on and set the viewport to<br \/>between ten and 70% for the text widget<br \/>I&#8217;ll add a subtle transparency effect as<br \/>well I&#8217;ll set the viewport to between 15<br \/>and 55% and last but not least I apply<br \/>this effect to the inner section below<br \/>as well here I&#8217;ll set the viewport to<br \/>between 20 and 60 percent okay we&#8217;re<br \/>done let&#8217;s see it in action<br \/>cool<br \/>well that&#8217;s it now you know how to<br \/>create this cool mountain scene here a<br \/>section with parallax effect and bring<br \/>your own designs to life by combining<br \/>image layers motion effects and
