Creating the Entrancing Header Animation

For this tutorial, Darren has already set up a basic design for a webpage consisting of five different sections, featuring images from some of his favorite projects. Our goal is to create a captivating entrance animation for this webpage using scroll effects on the header.

Step 1: Setting up a blank section

First, we need to add a blank section to the page that will serve as the canvas for our header animation. To do this, select the grey area outside the canvas and use a little blue plus icon to add a new section.

Now, to make sure this section takes up the entire height of the viewport it's being displayed on, set the minimum height in the Inspector panel on the right side to 100 viewport height (vh). This panel can be used to modify the size, position, and behavior of any element on your site, ensuring a seamless design process.

Step 2: Adding vertical sections

Next, we'll need to add a vertical section to each side of this blank section. Let's start with the left one. With the blank section selected, click on the three dots and choose "Add Section". This will create a new vertical section stretching down the entire page.

Now, to enable special transitions and scroll effects later, we have to mark this section as a master and header. You can do this by clicking on the three dots again and setting it as a master before marking it as a header. This nifty feature in Editor X saves and reuses headers, sections, and footers on multiple pages for a more consistent and efficient design experience.

Step 3: Adding the entrance animation

With the header and sections set up, it's time to create the actual entrance animation. To do this, select the header and access the scroll effects panel. Click on the "Entrance Animation" icon to get started.

From here, you can adjust the animation duration and easing (acceleration and deceleration of the animation) to your liking. For Darren's project, he opted for a duration of 0.5 seconds and an "Ease Out" easing option for a smoother entrance transition.

Once you're satisfied with your settings, preview your animation to make sure everything looks perfect.

Step 4: Fine-tuning and previewing

Now that you've set up the entrance animation for the header, it's time to make any final adjustments and preview your work in different viewport sizes. Switch between desktop, tablet, and mobile previews to ensure that your animation looks great and functions well on all devices.

And that's it! With just a few simple steps, you've successfully created a mesmerizing entrance animation using header scroll effects on Editor X.
