Thank you! I’m really happy to hear that you’re getting to grips with my components—helping you push the boundaries of what’s possible in Elements is exactly why I created them… I really love Elements!!! To help you get started right away, you can find the first tutorial videos on my YouTube channel here: > **[Christian Sassano](https://www.youtube.com/@christiansassano)** > > Share your videos with friends, family, and the world I also wanted to apologize for the slightly slower response. I’ve been working hard behind the scenes preparing two very detailed guides—one for Scrollyplay and one for Scrollytelling—to ensure you have all the documentation you need. ---

Thank you so much for your reply. I look forward to your new videos; it will be a pleasure to study them for new opportunities. I find Elements and your plug-ins really useful. What I wanted to ask you is the following. In your video ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy3KfOVsA0Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy3KfOVsA0Q)) at 0.59 seconds, you say that the ‘cinema effect’ animation is created using Scrollytelling and is a sequence of frames. ![Cinema.jpeg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/4/e/4e3b3ae373491fe336cabaeda4a17fa9e1fb4eda.jpeg) I’ve tried lots of times, but perhaps due to my lack of knowledge, I haven’t managed to fit the animation into a responsive frame as you show in the example. I’d love to know how you did it. best regards Aldo ---

**New Update: WebP Support, Custom Spinners & More!** Hi everyone! I’m excited to announce a major new update. Your feedback is our fuel, and this build marks a big step forward in performance and customization. Here’s a recap of the new features: **Scrollytelling** - **WebP Support:** Full compatibility with WebP format is now available for your sequences. Enjoy high-quality images with reduced file sizes for lightning-fast loading. - **Total Spinner Control:** A new dynamic indicator has been introduced. You can now choose between an **animated progress percentage or the classic spinner.** - **Integrated Branding:** Maximum customization! You can now place your custom logo right at the center of the loading spinner. **Scrollyplay** - **Dynamic Loading Spinner:** Added a spinner to provide visual feedback during network latency. - **Custom Logo:** You can now center your own logo within the Scrollyplay spinner for a consistent brand identity. - **General Improvements:** Under-the-hood optimizations for superior stability. **What’s coming next?** I want using these tools to be as easy as possible. Early next week, we will release **new, detailed, clear, and simple documentation.** Additionally, in one of our upcoming updates, we will include the ability to **customize the starting prefix of image sequence** names, as suggested by @logrunner. Thank you for the great tip! **My Vision** It is wonderful what we are creating together through Elements. We are all part of a revolution in app development—an app that will keep getting better to ensure that everyone is simply **free to create.** PS @aldo, ASAP I’ll post the complete workflow of the part you’re interested in. ---

Hi everyone! 👋 Listening to your feedback is my favorite part of development, and today I’m thrilled to announce a new update for Scrollytelling with a couple of very handy workflow improvements! - **Custom File Name Prefix:** A special thanks to **@logrunner** (Jon) for the great suggestion! I’ve added a “File Name Prefix” field in the sequence settings. From now on, you are no longer forced to use files named exclusively with numbers (e.g., `01.png`, `02.png`). You can enter a custom text prefix to better organize your assets (for example, using `mountain_01.png` or `spaceship-01.jpg`). The component will handle the animation automatically! - **6-Digit Support (Final Cut Pro):** I’ve also expanded the “File Numbering” padding options up to 6 digits (e.g., `000001.jpg`). Since many video editing apps like Final Cut Pro export image sequences in this format by default, you can now use those exported frames directly in the component without going crazy trying to bulk-rename them. 🎉 And that’s not all… a quick heads-up for @aldo: I haven’t forgotten your request! 😉 Later today, if I can manage it, I’ll publish a new YouTube video tutorial to show you exactly how to recreate that awesome “cinema effect” (just like the demo with the spaceship looking at the planet) and how to perfectly fit the animation inside a responsive frame. 🎬✨ The update should already be available for download. Let me know what you think and, as always, keep those fantastic ideas coming! Cheers! ---

Hi Paul, please accept my apologies for the delay in getting back to you! When you wrote to me, I was fully caught up in my development timeline, as the release of the new component (Lumière Title) for animating titles was already scheduled. I just send you an email about your project. Thanks again. ---

Hi everyone! 👋 First of all, I want to sincerely apologize to @PMUK and @aldo for the delay on the promised **“THE CINEMA EFFECT”** tutorial video. Finding the time to sit down and record it properly has been trickier than expected — and the reason is that I’ve been fully heads-down working on a brand-new component that, I promise you, will completely rewrite the way you create something **WOW** with Elements. More on that soon — stay tuned! But I come bearing good news! **Downloadable Demo — Cinema Effect** I’ve put together a complete demo project with all the same assets already integrated ([in this first launch page](https://www.sassano.me/elements/)), so that anyone can recreate the desired effect right away — no need to wait for the video. Simply download the project file and open it directly in Elements. You’ll find the link here: **[DEMO PROJECT “The Cinema Effetc”](https://www.sassano.me/download/demo/Demo-The-Cinema-Effect.zip)** **Full Documentation** I’ve now rolled out incredibly detailed documentation covering all of my components. To access it, simply: - direct link donw in the page of each component ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/c/f/cf05c670d4e88e40c3c84287fe7ce75176aa4f91.jpeg) - use the **Support** on menu ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/d/3/d347321484da8b9c05f8530f73d5ad5049168535.png) You’ll find thorough, clear guides covering every aspect of Scrollyplay, Scrollytelling, and Lumiere Title. **Interactive Simulator** The support page for each component also features a handy **interactive simulator** that lets you experiment with and visually understand the component/viewport trigger concept in a simple and intuitive way. I really recommend giving it a try — it’s a great tool for everyone, from beginners to more experienced users! ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/9/0/90d9039d28dd926d36693a56b2d34710b90aa07e.png) As always, I’m here and fully available for any question or request you may have. And as for the new component coming soon… stay tuned, because it’s going to be something truly spectacular! Thank you all for your patience and your continued support — your passion is what pushes me to do better every single day. Cheers, Christian ---
