Question

I have this carousel

$('#myCarousel').carousel({
  interval: 4000
})

$('.carousel .item').each(function(){
  var next = $(this).next();
  if (!next.length) {
    next = $(this).siblings(':first');
  }
  next.children(':first-child').clone().appendTo($(this));

  for (var i=0;i<2;i++) {
    next=next.next();
    if (!next.length) {
      next = $(this).siblings(':first');
    }

    next.children(':first-child').clone().appendTo($(this));
  }
});

.carousel-inner .active.left { left: -25%; }
.carousel-inner .next        { left:  25%; }
.carousel-inner .prev   { left: -25%; }
.carousel-control     { width:  4%; }
.carousel-control.left,.carousel-control.right {margin-left:15px;background-image:none;}

this is working fine.

I need to move only single image at once. Its moving all 4 images ..

how do you mean? you only want to show one image? because if you move one you have to move the rest... — Håkan, Jun 06 '16 at 05:22
@Håkan actually currently the entire row moves Like if 1,2,3,4 is displayed then next() will first move 1,2,3,4 to left and then new 2,3,4,5 will come up.. right . I need to move like, if 1,2,3,4 is displayed the next() will move 1 out of visible part and add 5 at back. — Atul Sharma, Jun 06 '16 at 05:25
You can see something like yours in this [pen](https://codepen.io/mephysto/pen/ZYVKRY/) — Mosh Feu, Jun 06 '16 at 05:34
@MoshFeu tried using this also... But, in system or in new fiddle the same thing happens,,, first it moves all 4 then a new row comes with 2,3,4,5 data. What may be the possible reason ? — Atul Sharma, Jun 06 '16 at 05:38

For some reason snippet is not showing the exact result. Please check the fiddle

FIDDLE (clean and working version)

$('.carousel .item').each(function(){
  var next = $(this).next();
  if (!next.length) {
    next = $(this).siblings(':first');
  }
  next.children(':first-child').clone().appendTo($(this));
  
  if (next.next().length>0) {
    next.next().children(':first-child').clone().appendTo($(this));
  }
  else {
   $(this).siblings(':first').children(':first-child').clone().appendTo($(this));
  }
});

I really don't think that it the result he expected. Why do you need to slide all the elements? he need to move just one. — Mosh Feu, Jun 06 '16 at 05:48
Check the fiddle, its works fine. I don't know why this strange thing happening in this snippet. :/ — Jinu Kurian, Jun 06 '16 at 05:49
It creates blur effect to text in "item" when is scrolling. Is there any work around to avoid text getting that blur? I have solved it partially by adding white background to "item" and that way is not transparent so you cannot see second row sliding behind. Any better idea? — StefaDesign, Nov 02 '17 at 01:32
It's not working here because of the Bootstrap version 3.3.7. If you use Bootstrap 3.0.0 CSS then it will work perfectly. — iamsujit, Aug 29 '18 at 13:13

Working Fiddle

I was having the same problem, and I got it to only slide by one item at a time by adding this code to the css:

#myCarousel .carousel-inner .item {
  background: white;
  /*transition: transform;*/
  transition: all 500ms ease-out; /* transition is added here */
}

Try this: JS:

$('#myCarousel').carousel({
  interval: 4000
})

$('.carousel .item').each(function(){
  var next = $(this).next();
  if (!next.length) {
    next = $(this).siblings(':first');
  }
  next.children(':first-child').clone().appendTo($(this));

  for (var i=0;i<2;i++) {
    next=next.next();
    if (!next.length) {
      next = $(this).siblings(':first');
    }

    next.children(':first-child').clone().appendTo($(this));
  }
});

CSS:

.carousel-inner .active.left { left: -25%; }
.carousel-inner .next        { left:  25%; }
.carousel-inner .prev        { left: -25%; }
.carousel-control            { width:  4%; }
.carousel-control.left,.carousel-control.right {margin-left:15px;background-image:none;}

#myCarousel .carousel-inner .item {
  background: white;
  /*transition: transform;*/
  transition: all 500ms ease-out; /* transition is added here */
}

You can also make the transition smoother by adding transition: all 500ms ease-out; to your css.

Fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/eaae76kx/98/

Did you ever update this with a transition? Would love to see it added to your answer to make it more smooth. — becca, Sep 25 '17 at 18:46
you can add ``` transition: all 500ms ease-out;``` to ```#myCarousel .carousel-inner .item ``` in css. I've updated my answer. You can also view Fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/eaae76kx/98/ — Kimmiekim, May 11 '18 at 19:53
