Motion

Velocity marquee

A services band that drifts on its own, speeds up with how fast you scroll and turns round when you scroll the other way.

Where it earns its place

A services or capabilities strip between two sections, where a plain ticker would be wallpaper and one that answers the reader feels alive.

What we changed

  • Kept the physics: scroll speed becomes a capped multiplier on a base drift, eased so the band has inertia, and the row keeps the last direction you scrolled in.
  • Reads speed from the panel's own endless scroller (it recentres itself and discounts the jump) instead of the page, so it can sit in a grid of other demos.
  • Replaced the spring on raw velocity with an exponential ease of 0.18s, which is frame-rate independent and cannot overshoot into a reversed direction.
  • Two rows with different jobs: the services in Syncopate, the studio's stack underneath in mono running the other way, with a live multiplier readout.
  • Reduced motion renders both rows still; the grid card plays an alternating gust so the reaction is visible without a reader.
