Scroll Animations & Parallax Sections

Vertical Split Scroll Hero

Companion to the horizontal Split Panels Hero, but split on the vertical axis. Two image panels sit side by side (each 50% of the viewport). As the reader scrolls, the left panel translates left and the right panel translates right, revealing centered content that scales up as the gap widens. Ideal for product pages that pair two disciplines, two aesthetics, or two audiences.

Build components/VerticalSplitHero.tsx as a client component. Fixed inset-0 canvas (z-10, bg-white) with a 220vh spacer below driving scroll. Two vertical image panels: left absolute inset-y-0 left-0 w-1/2 overflow-hidden, right absolute inset-y-0 right-0 w-1/2 overflow-hidden. At scroll 0 they meet at the vertical midline. Animate: left transform translateX(-45% * p), right translateX(45% * p). Centered content block (absolute inset-0 flex column center, pointer-events-none) with an eyebrow (11px uppercase 0.08em tracking, muted grey), headline (26-48px semibold tracking-tight black max-w-2xl), subtitle (13-14px muted grey max-w-md), and a blue #2B65F6 CTA pill (pointer-events-auto). Content fades in and scales from 0.94 to 1 across [0.4, 0.75]. rAF plus lerp (0.1). Font-sans, max font-semibold. Props: leftImage, rightImage, eyebrow, headline, subtitle, cta. Single default export.

How to use this Vertical Split Scroll Hero as a prompt

  1. Paste the prompt into Claude Code, Cursor, or Google Stitch to build a Vertical Split Scroll Hero where left and right React image panels part on scroll to reveal a centered column.
  2. Perfect for product reveal pages, campaign hero sections, and landing pages where a horizontal reveal feels stronger than a vertical one.
  3. Ask Codex or Lovable to add a CTA button below the revealed content, or wire the panels to a CMS.

How to use this Vertical Split Scroll Hero as code

  1. Copy the React + Tailwind file into `components/hero/` and pass a left image, right image, and centered content object (eyebrow, headline, paragraph, CTA).
  2. Uses framer-motion useScroll for the panel-parting motion. Falls back to the revealed state under prefers-reduced-motion.
  3. Compatible with Next.js App Router, Astro islands, and Vite React.

Frequently asked questions about the Vertical Split Scroll Hero

How do I add a Vertical Split 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. The Vertical Split Scroll Hero is built with React and Tailwind CSS — add those as dependencies if they are not already in your project. Import and render the component wherever you need it. Every prop is optional and typed.

Can I use the Vertical Split 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 Vertical Split 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 Vertical Split 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.

Is the Vertical Split Scroll Hero free to use in commercial projects?+

Yes. Every component in the AI Library, including the Vertical Split Scroll Hero, is free to copy, adapt, and ship in commercial projects, client work, SaaS products, open-source repos, and internal tools. No attribution required, no license fee, no royalty.

What parallax frameworks does the Vertical Split Scroll Hero support?+

The Vertical Split Scroll Hero is a plain React 18 client component written in React + Tailwind. It runs on Next.js (App Router and Pages Router), Vite, Remix, Gatsby, and any other framework that supports React 18 and Tailwind CSS v3. Keep the "use client" directive at the top of the file when you paste it into a Next.js App Router project.

Does the Vertical Split Scroll Hero work with TypeScript?+

Yes. The component is written in TypeScript with fully typed props and exported interfaces. Paste it into a TypeScript project and it compiles without modification. If you need a plain JavaScript version, ask Claude Code or Cursor to strip the type annotations.

Can I combine the Vertical Split Scroll Hero with other AI Library sections?+

Yes. Every component in the AI Library is standalone with no shared global state, no conflicting resets, and no namespace collisions. Drop the Vertical Split Scroll Hero alongside any other section component. They are compatible with shadcn/ui, Radix UI, MUI, and any other component library you are already using.
