How can I create a header in Webflow that changes text every few seconds, similar to this resource I found? I've run into some issues when cloning it, as it becomes a text rather than a header and requires rebuilding the entire element. Additionally, the rebuilt version doesn't display the same way, with the text pushing down the next element. Can you provide guidance on achieving this effect?
To create a header in Webflow that changes text every few seconds, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by adding a regular heading element (such as an h1 or h2) to your web page where you want the changing text to appear.
2. Give the heading element a class name by selecting it and going to the "Settings" panel on the right-hand side. Under the "Class" field, enter a class name (e.g., "changing-text").
3. Next, go to the "Animations" panel on the right-hand side and click the "+" button to add a new animation.
4. In the animation timeline that appears, select the heading element you just created.
5. Click the "Add step" button to add a new step in the animation timeline.
6. In the new step, set the duration to the desired time for each text change (e.g., 3 seconds). You can adjust the timing as needed.
7. Click on the "Transform" tab in the step options and choose the "Text" property.
8. In the "Text" field, enter the first text you want to display. For example, "Welcome!"
9. Click the "+" button to add a new keyframe at the end of the step.
10. In the new keyframe, enter the second text you want to display. For example, "Hello!"
11. Continue adding keyframes and entering the text for each change.
12. Once you've added all the desired keyframes, you can adjust the timing between them by dragging the keyframes left or right on the timeline.
13. You can also add easing effects between the keyframes to create smooth transitions if desired.
14. Lastly, make sure to set the animation to loop by clicking on the "Infinite" checkbox in the animation settings.
By following these steps, you should be able to create a header in Webflow that changes text every few seconds. This approach allows you to maintain the original heading element and avoid the need for cloning and rebuilding the entire element. The text changes should not affect the positioning of other elements on the page.
