How to delay the first snap and timeline item in a parallax scrolling animation?

[Veli]

Hi GSAP Community,

I'm working on a parallax scrolling animation using GSAP and ScrollTrigger, and I'm encountering an issue with adding an initial delay to the first snap and the first timeline item. Here’s a brief overview of what I’m trying to achieve:

1. Pin a section to the top of the viewport while the content inside scrolls.
2. Introduce a 1-second delay before snapping to the next section and starting the animations.
3. Ensure smooth snapping and transitions for subsequent sections.

Problem: The snapping and transitions become glitchy and don't look smooth when introducing the delay for the first snap and the first timeline item.

 

Question: How can I properly introduce a 1-second delay for the first snap and the first timeline item while ensuring smooth transitions for subsequent items? Is there a better approach to achieve this with GSAP and ScrollTrigger?

 

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
