Scroll Animations & Parallax Sections
Expanding Clip Scroll Hero (Apple-Style)
A pinned hero canvas that opens like an Apple product page. The image starts contained inside a small rounded rectangle in the center of the viewport, then expands to a full-bleed background as the reader scrolls. An opening headline, a mid-scroll punchline, and a final title-plus-subtitle cross-fade across the scroll. Uses requestAnimationFrame plus lerp smoothing for buttery motion.

No extra dependencies. React 18+ and Tailwind CSS v3+ assumed. Save as ExpandingClipHero.tsx.
Or rebuild it with a prompt
Paste the prompt into the tool you already use. Each version is written specifically for that tool, matched to the same design constraints so the output stays consistent.
Build components/ExpandingClipHero.tsx as a client component. It renders a fixed inset-0 canvas at z-10 that pins the hero to the viewport, plus a 250vh spacer below to drive the scroll. Inside the canvas: (1) an SEO header layer with an eyebrow and a small headline centered, visible at scroll progress 0 and fading out 0 to 0.3; (2) a mid-scroll headline that fades in 0.2 to 0.35, holds 0.35 to 0.6, fades out 0.6 to 0.75; (3) an image box that starts with clipPath inset(25% 15% round 12px) and animates to inset(0% 0% round 0px) as progress goes 0 to 1; (4) a final content overlay inside the image box (headline plus subtitle in white) that fades in 0.8 to 1. Use a requestAnimationFrame loop that lerps target progress toward current (0.1 factor). Read scroll via window.scrollY divided by spacer.offsetHeight, clamped 0 to 1. Font-sans throughout, max font-semibold. Props: image, eyebrow, headline, midHeadline, finalHeadline, finalSubtitle. Single default export. No extra dependencies.

The Expanding Clip Scroll Hero (Apple-Style) uses Tailwind utility classes throughout, so every color, spacing value, and font weight is one class away from changing. Replace any color class with your brand token (for example, swap `bg-black` for `bg-[#your-hex]`).
