Yes, Webflow Interactions 2.0 can be used to create rotating text within a sentence by combining visibility interactions, timed animations, and optional text wrappers.
1. Structure Your Text Elements
- Create a container (e.g., a
<div>
with class like rotating-text-wrapper
) to hold your sentence. - Inside the sentence, wrap the rotating part (e.g., different phrases) in separate span elements or individual
<div>
text blocks. - Style them to occupy the same space using position: absolute or display: block with overflow hidden on the parent.
2. Set Initial States
- Add a Webflow animation using
Page Load
or While Page is Scrolling
, or use a custom trigger (like timed loop or on scroll). - Start the animation for the rotating text elements with:
- Only the first phrase visible
- All others set to opacity: 0 and optionally display: none or off-canvas (e.g., moved 100% down or left)
3. Build the Rotation Animation
- Create a Timeline Animation under "Page Trigger > Loop" or "Element Trigger > Mouse In View", depending on when rotation should start.
- For each phrase:
- Fade in (opacity to 1, duration 0.3–0.5s)
- Delay (duration visible — 2-3 seconds)
- Fade out same phrase (opacity to 0)
- Repeat this for the next phrase.
- Set the animation to loop indefinitely.
4. Optional Enhancements
- Use Move or Slide effects alongside opacity to make the rotation more dynamic (e.g., Y-axis slide or Scale).
- Add custom easing curves to smooth transitions.
- Make sure the text wrapper has fixed width/height to avoid layout jumps.
Summary
You can use Webflow Interactions 2.0 to rotate text elements within a sentence by layering and animating individual elements’ opacity and position in a timed loop. Proper setup of text wrappers and timing sequences ensures smooth and continuous rotations.
