Parallax Image Scrolling Speed

[dschertz]

Is there a way to get the image in the parallax area to also move instead of just the text or other elements we put in front of it?

I have an example using my old SquareSpace site.

Unfortunately not as standard, although the setup is there ready for this so we may add it as an option in the future!

This would be an amazing option to have. Is there some type of CSS I could add to do this now?

[dschertz]

Isn’t the fancy header already capable of doing this?

great example of what I’m talking about.

Yes it is, however this functionality isn’t enabled for the parallax asset as standard. It could be done by editing the parallax element php (happy to help you with that), else I’ll try and get this added in the next update!

EDIT: The example looks really jerky for me? This is what we are trying to avoid!

Yes, it’s jerky on my end too. Thanks for all the hard work.

No worries.

We’ll get the option added, then you’re free to use it or not.

Just my 2 cents, but some themes like Jupiter provide many options for their parallax effects, like speed control. To me it seems fairly smooth, http://artbees.net/themes/jupiter-demo/homepage-parallax. These time settings are really helpful when stacking multiple parallax images. This site scrolls like absolute butter, http://www.protest.eu/en/men/. 🙂

We’ve got parallax improvements on the list for v1.2, thanks guys!
