GSAP ScrollTrigger for Premium Portfolios

Why GSAP?

GSAP remains the industry standard for high-performance, timeline-based animations.

ScrollTrigger Basics

Pinning sections and scrubbing animations allows developers to tie visual states directly to the user's scrollbar.

"A well-executed scroll animation feels like a physical interaction, not just a visual effect."

Common Pitfalls

  • Laggy Scrubs: Avoid scrub: 1 on consecutive pinned sections. Use scrub: true for 1:1 hardware-synced performance.
  • Unresponsive Layouts: Always use invalidateOnRefresh: true so your trigger points recalculate when the user resizes their window.
