Column Drift template: columns of cards drifting up and down

How Column Drift moves

Column Drift fills the frame width with columns of cards, alternate columns drifting up and down. Each column runs through your pictures in order but starts at a different point, so the same row never repeats across columns. Twelve slots. It reads like a scrolling masonry portfolio, a good fit for Dribbble-style shots and website heroes at 16:9 or 1:1.

In the studio you can tune its 3 settings along with the background, shadow and loop length, and your images never leave your device.

Column Drift settings

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