Is it possible to create an infinite scroll carousel like the one in Ran Segall's case study using Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Structure the carousel using a horizontal flexbox with overflow hidden, and duplicate items to simulate continuous flow.
  • Use Webflow animations optionally, but implement custom JavaScript to reset scroll position seamlessly for a true infinite loop.

Yes, you can create an infinite scroll carousel similar to Ran Segall’s case study in Webflow, but it requires a combination of Webflow’s native animations and custom JavaScript for truly seamless infinite looping.

  • Use a horizontal flexbox or set the Slider/Div to display: flex and overflow: hidden.
  • Add a container (carousel-wrapper) with a row of items (carousel-item), all inside a masking div.
  • Duplicate the content inside the carousel once or twice to simulate infinite scrolling.
  • This provides a buffer that can scroll past the original set of items, creating the illusion of continuous motion.

3. Apply Webflow Interactions (Optional)

  • Use Webflow’s Scroll-based or timed animations to move the container on a continuous loop if desired.
  • For smoother control, Webflow’s native tools alone aren’t enough—you’ll need custom code.

4. Add Custom JavaScript for True Infinite Loop

  • You will need to insert a custom JavaScript script in the Page Settings > Footer Code or via an Embed element.
  • Key functionality: once the scroll reaches a certain point (like the end of the duplicated items), the scroll position should jump (without transition) back to the starting position.
  • This creates the “seamless” loop effect people associate with infinite carousels.

5. Add CSS for Smooth Scrolling (Optional)

  • Add custom styles (via custom code) like scroll-behavior: smooth; or use requestAnimationFrame() to manage consistent motion if animating with JS.

Summary

A truly infinite scroll carousel like Ran Segall’s requires a combination of duplicated content, custom JavaScript, and Webflow animations. Webflow alone cannot create a seamless loop, but it provides the structure and animation you can enhance with code.
