Play a video on scroll in Framer
you are setting up a video that plays on scroll using scroll Variants, and you are keeping the whole workflow super clean and code-free. you will cover how to place your video, wrap it in a simple Component, create paused and playing Variants, and then tell Framer exactly when that video should kick in as the user scrolls.
Lesson details
Place the video in a section and connect its playback progress to the page scroll range shown in the lesson. Set the trigger area and map the start and end positions so the video advances while the visitor moves through the section.
Compress the source file and test loading before tuning the scroll mapping. Preview with a mouse, trackpad, and touch input, and provide a usable static state when reduced motion or slower devices make scroll-driven playback unsuitable.
Use the shortest motion that explains the change. Frequent or decorative effects should require less attention than a transition that introduces a new page or interaction state.

What does this lesson cover?
The lesson covers the settings and steps used to play a video on scroll in Framer. You will configure the relevant effect, trigger, and transition, then preview the interaction across breakpoints. Follow the demonstrated order in your project and review each change on the canvas before moving to the next step.
Which animation settings should I test in Framer?
Test the trigger, start and end states, timing, easing, and replay behavior used in the lesson. Preview the interaction at different viewport sizes and confirm that it supports the page hierarchy. Reduce or remove motion that distracts from content or makes controls harder to use.
Can I use this animation on a responsive site in Framer?
Yes. Preview the effect at every affected breakpoint and resize between them. Check trigger positions, clipping, motion distance, and the start and end states at narrow widths. Adjust the layout or effect when the animation obscures content or moves an interactive element away from its expected position.
What should I review after I play a video on scroll in Framer?
Review the exact pages and elements changed by the workflow. Confirm that copy, links, accessibility, responsive behavior, and interaction states still work as intended. Use preview for the final check and keep publishing separate from editing so you can fix problems before visitors see the update.
