Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Animated Video Scroll section work on Shopify?

The section connects video frame progression to page scrolling. As visitors scroll, the video moves through its timeline while the section remains pinned in view.

Can I upload my own video to the Animated Video Scroll section?

Yes. You can select a video uploaded to Shopify through the theme editor. The section uses an MP4 source from the selected video to animate the scroll.

Can I use an external MP4 video URL instead of uploading a video?

Yes. The section includes a Video URL setting for a direct MP4 link. If a Shopify-hosted video is selected, that video takes priority over the URL.

Does the video play automatically or respond to visitor scrolling?

The video follows the visitor's scroll motion rather than playing on standard autoplay. Scrolling controls progress through its frames.

Can I customize the animated heading displayed over the video?

Yes. You can edit the heading text, color, font size, weight, and letter spacing. You can also enable an outlined text style for a different appearance.

Can I change the video overlay color and its transparency?

Yes. Choose an overlay color and adjust its opacity from 0% to 100% in the section settings to control how much the video is darkened or tinted.

Does the Animated Video Scroll section work on mobile devices?

The section includes mobile-specific heading sizes and padding controls. Its canvas also adjusts to screen dimensions, but performance should be tested on devices.

Can I display the animated video section in a full-width layout?

Yes. Enable Full Width to use the available screen width, or disable it and enter a maximum section width for a more contained video layout.
