Hi there

 

I'm building Squarespace website and want to add an individual image animation as you can see on themes like Carmine - simple parallax style transition. I have looked at a few youtube videos and they all saying there is an option on your design panel on edit image option. But I can't see any on my setting. Can you help me how I can have the option I can choose between Card / Poster / Inline etc? Thanks!

Squarespace are introducing a new editing experience on version 7.1 sites called Fluid Engine. Fluid Engine sections are different to the Classic sections that you may be familiar with.

For example, block specific animations are not available on Fluid Engine sections. To use block specific animations, you will need to add a classic section to the page and then add Image Blocks to this section using the classic editor.

You'll find classic sections at the very bottom of the list when you add a section:

@paul2009 in FE, is there a way to CSS the block animation? I'm trying to find a way to animate a hero banner image block without the hover or scroll action?

Put another way, Squarespace 7.1 got rid of the ability to target block-specific animations and replaced it with an all-or-none option. Animating everything is fine as a convenience, as long as you can override specific blocks. Unfortunately, you can't. Instead, their current solution is to rebuild your nicely designed Fluid section with a less flexible "Classic" section. Only then can you animate individual blocks. The problem there is, Classic can't do what Fluid can. So your layout suffers and/or looks dated. If we want to animate (or not animate) a specific block, we're stuck with Classic—which is just a nicer name for an old platform on its way out.
