Scroll Animations & Parallax Sections
Ken Burns Slow Pan Scroll Hero
A wide full-bleed image slowly translates horizontally (Ken Burns pan) across the viewport as the reader scrolls, while an eyebrow, headline, and subtitle sit bottom-left. Bottom-only soft vignette keeps text legible without a rectangular overlay. Ideal for editorial and landscape hero sections.

No extra dependencies. React 18+ and Tailwind CSS v3+ assumed. Save as SlowPanHero.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/SlowPanHero.tsx as a client component. Fixed inset-0 canvas (z-10, bg-black) with a 250vh spacer below to drive scroll. An oversized image (min-width 116%) translates horizontally: transform translateX((-8 + 16 * p)%) scale(1.15) where p is scroll progress. A soft bottom-only vignette (linear-gradient rgba(0,0,0,0.6) to transparent, height 55%) preserves text legibility without darkening the full image. Text block at bottom-left (max-w-[520px]): eyebrow (11px uppercase tracking-wide white/75), headline (36-64px white semibold tracking-tight with text-shadow), subtitle (14-16px white/85 with text-shadow). Text fades in [0.1, 0.4], holds [0.4, 0.85], fades out [0.85, 1], slides up on fade-in. rAF plus lerp (0.1). Props: image, eyebrow, headline, subtitle. Font-sans, max font-semibold. Single default export. No extra deps.

Frequently asked questions about the Ken Burns Slow Pan Scroll Hero
How do I add a Ken Burns Slow Pan Scroll Hero to my website?+
Copy the source code from the "Copy code" button above and save it as a .tsx file in your components folder.

Every prop is optional and typed.
Can I use the Ken Burns Slow Pan Scroll Hero with Claude Code, Cursor, or Lovable?+
Yes. Each prompt tab above is tuned specifically for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Lovable, Replit, and Google Stitch. Paste the prompt into whichever AI coding tool you are using and it will generate a Ken Burns Slow Pan Scroll Hero matched to your existing file structure, design tokens, and brand color. Claude Code and Cursor work best when your project is already open — they slot the component directly into your codebase. Lovable and Replit are fastest for a standalone preview.
How do I customise the hero design and colors?+
The Ken Burns Slow Pan Scroll Hero 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]`). To change the animation timing, update the `duration-` or `delay-` classes, or pass new values into the Framer Motion `transition` prop if the component uses it. For a full brand restyle, paste the component into Claude Code or Cursor and describe your design system.
