@davidcetinkaya all good now thanks, the reInit did help prevent the setup glitch, but after applying the opacity fade, it adds a nice effect to the page to see the carousels fade (0.3s via GSAP ) 👍

Thanks again for the info 😃

Embla is my go to carousel, I’ve never been a fan of the others, and I wont touch anything jQuery. Embla is the closes way to how I would build a carousel and expect it to be init and behave. Also a 1/4 of the css the others take.

Keep up the great work.

Thanks Darcey
