Center Stage template: one card at a time, sliding through the centre

How Center Stage moves

Center Stage shows one piece at a time: it enters from the left with two ghost copies trailing behind, holds at the centre, then leaves to the right before the next arrives. The trail can be switched off for a cleaner slide. Three slots and a 7 second loop. It gives each image the whole stage, which suits hero shots and single product renders at 1:1 or 16:9.

In the studio you can tune its 6 settings along with the background, shadow and loop length, and your images never leave your device.

Center Stage settings

Every setting below is in the studio panel for Center Stage. Each one changes the loop live, so you can try values while it plays.
