Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @aceternity/container-scroll-animation

Requires @aceternity in the registries of your components.json (shadcn adds official directory namespaces automatically).

Usage

usage.tsx
import { ContainerScroll } from "@/components/ui/container-scroll-animation";export function ProductPreview() {  return (    <ContainerScroll      titleComponent={<h1 className="text-4xl font-bold">Build better products</h1>}    >      <div className="h-full w-full p-8">Product preview</div>    </ContainerScroll>  );}
  • Showcase a product screenshot, dashboard, landing-page preview, or interactive demo with scroll-based depth.
  • Create a hero section that introduces a visual asset beneath an animated title.
  • Add a cinematic, premium presentation treatment to static content without building a custom animation system.

Examples

Dashboard preview

Use the animated card to present a product dashboard beneath a responsive heading.

dashboard-preview.tsx
import { ContainerScroll } from "@/components/ui/container-scroll-animation";export function DashboardPreview() {  return (    <ContainerScroll      titleComponent={        <h1 className="text-4xl font-bold tracking-tight">          Your work, in one place        </h1>      }    >      <div className="h-full w-full bg-white p-6 dark:bg-zinc-950">        Dashboard content      </div>    </ContainerScroll>  );}

Image showcase

Place a responsive image inside the animated card for a landing-page hero.

image-showcase.tsx
import { ContainerScroll } from "@/components/ui/container-scroll-animation";export function ImageShowcase() {  return (    <ContainerScroll      titleComponent={        <h1 className="text-5xl font-semibold">Designed for focus</h1>      }    >      <img        src="/images/product-screen.png"        alt="Product interface showing the project overview"        className="h-full w-full object-cover"      />    </ContainerScroll>  );}

Rich title composition

Pass a React node containing supporting text and a call to action as the title component.

rich-title-composition.tsx
import { ContainerScroll } from "@/components/ui/container-scroll-animation";export function RichHero() {  return (    <ContainerScroll      titleComponent={        <div className="mx-auto max-w-2xl space-y-4">          <h1 className="text-4xl font-bold">A clearer way to collaborate</h1>          <p className="text-muted-foreground">            Keep projects, feedback, and decisions together.          </p>        </div>      }    >      <div className="h-full w-full p-8">Collaboration workspace</div>    </ContainerScroll>  );}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
ContainerScroll.titleComponentstring | React.ReactNode—Required content rendered above the card and translated vertically during scrolling.
ContainerScroll.childrenReact.ReactNode—Required content rendered inside the animated card.
Headerany—The exported Header component accepts an untyped props object. The implementation reads titleComponent and translate, where translate is used as the motion translateY value.
Card.rotateMotionValue<number>—Required rotation motion value applied to the card's rotateX style.
Card.scaleMotionValue<number>—Required scale motion value applied to the card.
Card.translateMotionValue<number>—Required by the declared Card props type, but not read by the implementation.
Card.childrenReact.ReactNode—Required content rendered inside the card's inner clipped container.

Accessibility

  • Provide a meaningful heading element, such as h1 or h2, through titleComponent rather than relying on visually styled text alone.
  • Add useful alt text when children contains an image; decorative images should use an empty alt attribute.
  • The component does not implement reduced-motion handling. Consider providing an alternate presentation or wrapping usage with an application-level reduced-motion strategy.
  • The component does not add landmark or semantic structure, so place it within an appropriate main, section, or other semantic container.
  • Ensure text and child content maintain sufficient contrast against the dark card and light or dark inner surface.
