Parallax Section Block – Add Parallax Scrolling Effects to Sections

The parallax effect is a modern web design technique where the background element scrolls slower than the foreground content. The parallax effect can be used on landing pages, long-form content, sales pages, or the homepage of a business website. It is a great way to highlight different sections on a lengthy page. You can easily create a parallax section with this plugin. Features

• Easy to use
• It does not require much technical knowledge to use
• It is lightweight because it relies on JavaScript
• Smooth motion — every effect glides toward the scroll position instead of jumping (on by default).
• Parallax Layers (Free) — put any blocks inside and each one moves at its own depth as you scroll, with per-layer speed, direction and fade.
• Parallax Tilt Card (Pro) — cards that tilt toward the pointer and drift on scroll, with image parallax and a glare sheen, in four styles.
• Parallax Testimonials (Pro) — a 3D coverflow, stacked, spotlight or minimal testimonial carousel with autoplay and swipe.
• Parallax CTA (Pro) — a conversion band with a magnetic button, animated aurora and converging orbs, in four styles.
• Parallax Cube (Pro) — a 3D cube or prism that turns to reveal each content face, with tabs, drag and autoplay.
• Parallax Skills Cloud (Pro) — skill bubbles that drift on a spring field and scatter from the cursor, in five styles.
• Horizontal Scroll Parallax (Pro) — the section pins while you scroll down and its cards slide sideways, with Showcase, Timeline, Gallery and Story styles, drag, keyboard and navigation.
• Cinematic Reveal (Pro) — your image or video grows from a card, circle, giant word, shutter strips or a photo collage to full screen as visitors scroll. Demos
