How to display multiple text boxes / vids in same column in succession?

Apologies for the newbie question.

I want to create an animation-like effect using multiple text boxes where each text would fade in, stay for a few seconds then fade out, then next text fades in, etc. I’d also like to do the same with background videos against which the texts will display. Ideally the video container and the text container should fade in/out independently. And ideally, I could control them through collections (not a must).

I’m a coder so I’m fine with java script. At the same time, if this can be accomplished without using Corvid, I’d be very happy to keep it simple and go that route as well.

Btw this doesn’t need to be accomplished with multiple text boxes and multiple video containers, if there’s a way to do it with a single one – that’s great as well! I am just making a guess here.

Thank you very much. I’ve googled a lot and cannot find a solution (probably wrong keywords as I cannot imagine this isn’t easily done).

The Hidden Mixin API provides support for show/home with various effects.

Thanks very much!
I actually decided to use the built-in slideshow but changing the transition effect to fade-in and removing all the navigation elements. So far it seems to work quite well since I can animate the text in each slide independently of the slide itself.

I suspect I might hit an issue down the road since the amount of customization is limited but so far so good.

I’m definitely going to be using the Hidden Mixin API for other stuff!

Another question, the standard UI only allows you to delay an animation for up to 8 seconds. Is it possible to modify that to an arbitrary number using some API?

Thanks.
