I am building a Bootstrap carousel for a project. The content of the slides have different heights. Currently, the transition animation for the different sized content is very choppy. I am wondering if there is any way to fix this transition and make it a bit more graceful/smooth as the carousel adjusts in height between the slides.
*Please note that I would like to maintain the different heights between the slides. They are sized that way for a reason that is essential to the project.
Please see an example of the choppy transition on JS Bin.
Here is the code for the carousel:

- add style .item img{ height:300px !important; width:auto;} – Syam Mohan M P Commented Jan 13, 2017 at 3:44
- Thank you, but I'd like to maintain the differences in height. I do not want the content to be scaled down. – Liz Commented Jan 13, 2017 at 3:46

Reset to default 6It was chopping a lot because of the translation left/right so if u remove it it should be a lot better.
.carousel-inner .item {
opacity: 0;
transition: none;
transform: translate3d(0,0,0) !important;
}
.carousel-inner .active {
transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
opacity: 1;
}
but if u meant animate the height between different image sizes than u can use this jQuery:
$('.carousel').carousel().on('slide.bs.carousel', function (e) {
var nextH = $(e.relatedTarget).height();
$(this).find('.active.item').parent().animate({
height: nextH
}, 1000);
});
CODEPEN
Another way you can use javascript to done that.
Example
In that code I add event listener for listen slide.bs.carousel that triggered from bootstrap, get height of active item then animate carousel-inner element height.
<div class="item active">
<div class="img" style="background-image:url('http://placehold.it/300x300')"></div>
</div>
<div class="item">
<div class="img" style="background-image:url('http://placehold.it/250x250')"></div>
</div>
<div class="item">
<div class="img" style="background-image:url('http://placehold.it/160x600')"></div>
</div>
Add style
.item .img {
height:600px; //Maximum height
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center center;
}
