🎬 NEW BRIC: VeLora - Cinematic Carousels Made Simple

Hello Blocs Brics Fans,

A proper carousel Bric has been one of the most requested things on this forum for as long as we’ve been reading it. VeLora is the answer, and it’s the biggest Bric we’ve ever built.

The idea is simple :innocent:. Every slide is an empty container. Drop in a heading, an image, a button, a form, or a whole nested layout. The sidebar decides how it moves. No Swiper config, no GSAP timeline, no code.

What that gets you on a live site:

  • A full screen hero that plays like a title sequence

  • A gallery or product range where images fill the slide, cropped or contained

  • Testimonials and case studies as cards, with the inactive ones shrunk and dimmed

  • Images arriving one after another as the visitor scrolls to the carousel, and leaving again as they scroll past

  • A heading split into words, characters or lines and staggered in

Building that by hand in Swiper and GSAP is days of work. VeLora does it from the Blocs sidebar :high_voltage:.

What’s in the box:

  • 4 modes: Content Slider, Image Gallery, Card Carousel and Full Screen Hero. Gallery fills each slide with the image. Card adds radius, shadow, inactive scale and opacity. Hero locks to the viewport.

  • 7 transitions: Slide, Fade, Cube, Coverflow, Flip, Cards, and GSAP Custom, which animates the content inside each slide instead of the slide itself.

  • Three layers of motion, tuned separately: the slide moving, the content inside it moving, and the carousel arriving on screen. Each has its own duration, ease and distance.

  • 6 one click content animations, or build your own: 6 targets (down to words, characters or lines) by 9 motions in and 9 out.

  • Viewport layer: enter and exit effects, per slide with a stagger or as one block.

  • 6 arrow styles including your own SVG, 4 pagination types, autoplay with its own progress bar, keyboard and mousewheel, and separate slides per view for mobile, tablet and desktop.

  • 84 settings in 12 sidebar sections. Each section only shows what applies to your setup.

The dropdowns and switches alone multiply out to more than 50.000 combinations :exploding_head:. Realistically you’ll change five or six things and it’ll look considered. The depth is there when you want it.

It respects Reduce Motion automatically, works on Bootstrap 4 and 5, bundles Swiper and GSAP so nothing loads from a CDN, and runs on any static host. Add unlimited independent carousels per page.

Launch offer, limited time

VeLora is $49. For launch it is $35, one time, lifetime use, no subscription. Free updates through the Blocs updater, and support from the person who built it.

And get MarkMe for FREE :100:

MarkMe is bundled in, FREE, for the same $35. It’s a second Bric that puts the European Commission’s :european_union: official AI content labels on an image, a video or a whole carousel.

Three official labels, four official colour variations, six placements, optional text beside the icon, and screen reader text that follows the label you pick. It’s drawn into the page as inline SVG, so there’s no script, no image file and no request to anyone’s server. The icons are voluntary and don’t make a site AI Act compliant on their own, but if you’re opening a page with a generated hero image, this is how you say so. MarkMe is a $15 Bric and it isn’t sold on its own, so the launch bundle is the only way to get it :star_struck:.

The launch price can end without notice. If you’ve been waiting for this Bric, this is the moment.

Another great Bric!

I would love to see this actually live as well as all your brics, apologies if I have missed this if they are . Actually seeing these brics live on a website in action on a Blocs website will be brilliant.

Could this be possible? Cheers,

Hi @AdieJAM
Thanks and glad you like it. :flexed_biceps:

We don’t usually put long demo videos or live showcase sites together for each Bric. That work adds a lot of time, and time is what would push the price of each Bric up. We’d rather put that effort into the Bric itself and into a full manual that covers every setting and combination.

That’s the same reason we use a simple logo template and keep the extras around the product lean: so we can stay focused on building, keep prices low, and ship free updates fast.

There are five FREE Brics in the store right now. They’re proper Brics with manuals and a real use case, not placeholders. That’s how we show what we build and how we work with the community.

If you run into a bug or have a request, we’re one PM or email away. Updates usually go out the same day. Anyone using any of our Brics can back that up.

The VeLora manual is here if you want to see the depth before anything else:

Happy to answer specific questions about how a mode or animation works.

Hi Blocs Brics Fans,

Quick update: VeLora V1.0.2 is out.

A user reported a clash this morning with a third-party Bric that still uses Swiper V4 (the 2021 version). That combination could break the arrows box.

We added a workaround and pushed the update a few hours later. You will get it through the extension manager or you can download it from your LemonSqueezy account.

As always: report it, we look at it, we ship :rocket:.

Hi Blocs Brics Fans,

Our biggest Bric ever became even more bigger.

VeLora V1.1.0 is out.

A user asked for a Ken Burns effect. We added it :innocent:.

kenburn
Ken Burns is the documentary look: a slow zoom and drift on the still image of the active slide. Text and buttons stay put. Only the photo moves. Each slide starts its movement the moment it becomes active, the image is clipped to the slide so nothing spills over the edge, and if the visitor has Reduce Motion on, the pictures stay still.

It works with every mode and every transition. Off by default, so existing carousels do not change until you switch it on.

Ken Burns controls in the sidebar

  • Zoom: 1 to 60. 15 is subtle, 30 is bold.
  • Duration in seconds. Pair it with your autoplay delay.
  • Pan: Alternate, Random, None, or a fixed direction.
  • Motion: Zoom In or Zoom Out.
  • Ease: Linear for the classic documentary feel, or soften the ends.
  • Loop Back: keep drifting for as long as the slide is shown.
