Scroll-Driven Animation

Web design technique where a video’s playback position is tied to the user’s scroll position — scrolling down advances frames, scrolling up reverses them — creating an immersive 3D journey effect in hero sections.

Key points

  • Implemented in Claude Design by instructing it to “associate each frame with a scroll position” [009]
  • Nate Herk used this to transform the AI Automation Society website hero from a static layout into a scroll-driven 3D experience [009]
  • Asset pipeline: image prompt → Krea.ai (Nano Banana 2 model) → still image → Kling AI v2.0 → looping MP4 → upload to Claude Design → scroll animation prompt [009]
  • Motions.ai is recommended for finding scroll-journey animation templates; their prompts can be copied directly into Claude Design [009]
  • File upload limits in Claude Design: approximately 30–40 MB per asset; videos up to ~20 seconds confirmed to work [009]
