Transition

How?

.elem {
    transition: opacity 3s 1s;
}
.elem {
    transition-property: opacity;
    transition-duration: 3s;
    transition-delay: 1s;
}

.elem {
    transition: transform .3s, opacity 3s 1s;
}
.elem {
    transition-property: transform, opacity;
    transition-duration: .3s, 3s;
    transition-delay: initial, 1s;
}

Steps

Delay

Negative delay starts the animation at position corresponding absolute value of delay

Animation

How?

.elem {
    animation: some-madness 3s infinite;
}
.elem {
    animation-name: some-madness;
    animation-duration: 3s;
    animation-iteration-count: infinite;
}

.elem {
    animation: move .3s, hide 2s 1s;
}
.elem {
    animation-name: move, hide;
    animation-duration: .3s, 2s;
    animation-delay: initial, 1s;
}

@keyframes

@keyframes <name> rule defines scenario of animation

@keyframes some-madness {
    from {
        left: 0px;
        top: 200px;
    }
    40%, 60% {
        left: 400px;
        background: brown;
    }
    to {
        left: 200px;
        top: 0px;
    }
}

.elem {
    animation: some-madness 3s infinite;
}

Timing functions

For keyframed animations, the timing function applies between keyframes rather than over the entire animation

tbody:hover .elem {
  animation: move 2s ease 1; }

@keyframes move {
  0% {
    transform: translateX(-100%); }
  25% {
    transform: translateX(-75%); }
  50% {
    transform: translateX(-50%); }
  75% {
    transform: translateX(-25%); }
  100% {
    transform: translateX(0%); } }

Iteration count

Number of iterations. Infinite or float (for example 0.5 will play half of the animation cycle)

Fill mode

Specifies how a CSS animation should apply styles to its target before and after it is executing.

body:hover tr .elem {
	-webkit-animation: move 2s linear 1s;
			animation: move 2s linear 1s;
}

Fill mode example

Direction

tbody:hover tr .elem {
	-webkit-animation: move 2s 2 ease-in
			animation: move 2s 2 ease-in
}

Debugging tools

  Paul Lewis - The Applied Science of Runtime Performance

Performance

• Use translate() instead top/left positioning
• Use translateZ(0) or translate3d(0, 0, 0) to force hardware acceleration

!important vs animation

Moving an element along a circle

Gradient animation

Vendor prefix and camelCase may require. For example webkitAnimationEnd

Example

Request animation frame

Runs callback function with before the next repaint.

var request;
function step(timestamp) {
    document.body.innerHTML = timestamp;
    request = requestAnimationFrame(step);
}
request = requestAnimationFrame(step);

setTimeout(function(){
    cancelAnimationFrame(request);
}, 1000);
