Hey,
I recently had to deal with Inertia-Movements again and had a look for some older scripts to re-use. I found two which I quickly wanted to share. Inertia movement is an effect you may know from many galleries or navigations. It’s the “move your mouse left and the clip will slide smoothly to the right” – thing. The example above shows it as well – thanks to Danny for these great pictures.
The first script I’m going to show is used for infinite looping, means, the movement will not become slower as you reach the end of the clip. It rather works like “The more the mouse is away from the horizontal center the faster the movement is”, so having an infinite loop of thumbnails is pretty cool then. An example can be found here: Hugo Boss Gallery
The other version is like the opposite – the clip is limited to the left and to the right, which basically means: The more the clip gets to it’s “end” the slower the movement becomes. This effect was used on depotVisuals or the example above.
