[Pro] Can I do this in FWP?

Hi,
Can anyone help me with this, I need to know if the main carousel slideshow on this site/link is possible to create in FWP?

I have checked and it loops around, not stop and return.

Regards

Wow. That is impressive, and really lovely photography as well. There
isn’t an Action to do this specific combination of effects, but I
might recommend ScriptyFader as an alternate. Like this site, SF can
apply a (nearly) limitless number of photos on a page, because it does
lazy-loading (only requesting the images when needed, not whacking the
browser over the head with megabytes of initial load before anything
appears). Also, it does do an endless loop animation. What it doesn’t
do is the sliding transition. But if you can compromise there, it
might be a good solution to this sort of layout.

Carousel does the horizontal scrolling effect, but it also “snaps
back” when it gets to the end of the filmstrip, and it loads all of
the contents into the page at once, which means that a strip of
pictures of this length would take minutes to load (and thus start
animating) over an average connection. Carousel was inspired by the
Coda home page Coda is now Nova and so it suits a different set
of priorities. For one thing, Carousel gives you an SEO boost by not
removing the animated content from the page. In the case of a photo
slideshow, that doesn’t mean anything at all, but if you had HTML in
each pane, and that HTML was pertinent to the page topic, using SF
would diminish the page’s semantic value.
