Storytelling Animations

Our storytelling animations bring your content to life with dynamic, full-screen slides. Create layered animations that stack seamlessly or slide over one another for smooth, engaging transitions. Enhance interactivity by swapping images based on text as it moves across the screen, ensuring a visually compelling experience that adapts to your narrative. Whether you’re crafting immersive reports, presentations, or digital stories, these animations provide a powerful way to captivate your audience.

  • In View Block – Add a class to elements when they appear on the page so individual animations, like fade in or out, can be applied.
  • Float Motion Block – Create as series of slides that change backgrounds based on objects that float in and out of view.
  • Sync Motion Block – Create a series of pinned slides – vertical or horizontal – that appear in sync on scroll.

Enhanced Events

We’re making powerful updates to our events plugin to give users more flexibility and efficiency when managing events. The next iteration will allow users to separate date and time, making it possible to schedule events with or without a time association. Additionally, event locations will be seamlessly integrated with Google and Apple Maps, providing one-click directions for attendees. Lastly, we’re introducing recurring events, enabling users to create an event once and have it automatically repeat—streamlining event management like never before. 

  • Date & Time Flexibility – Schedule events with or without a time association by separating date and time fields.
  • Integrated Maps & Directions – Add event locations linked to Google and Apple Maps for one-click directions.
  • Recurring Events – Create an event once and set it to repeat automatically for more efficient post creation.

Additionally, organizations will be able to link team members to posts or custom post types, allowing them to credit contributors to content—even if they aren’t website admins. These enhancements ensure better visibility and recognition for your team’s work.

  • Non-Admin Association – Credit team members for their work without requiring website admin access.
