A list of common SVG animation challenges along with GSAP solutions. This page is intended to be a go-to resource for anyone animating SVG with GSAP.

A great tutorial from Chris Gannon about using DrawSVGPlugin for simple, yet compelling effects.

The GSAP 1.16.x update delivers some nifty new features like svgOrigin as well as a better-than-ever Draggable that has autoScroll capabilities, a new method for determining the drag direction, and more.

Chris Gannon shows how he built a draggable 3D carousel with GSAP. We'll call it "CubeDial". It's pretty slick.

Visually explore various eases that are available in GSAP with this interactive tool.

There are some interesting (and surprising) performance implications of using CSS animations that aren't widely known. Check out this video demonstration.

Animating the rotation, scale, skew, and position of SVG elements via CSS has been completely impractical due to major browser inconsistencies...until now. GreenSock's CSSPlugin handles major bugs and inconsistencies across a wide range of modern browsers, making it easy for you to animate SVG elements exactly like regular DOM elements... even in IE.

Learn how to make a simple play / pause toggle button to control any GSAP animation (tweens or timelines). Same concepts apply to toggling the reversed() state of an animation too.

Responsive animation just got easier with GSAP 1.13.1 and support for percent-based translations. Plus enhanced support for RequireJS, AMD, Browserify and one less reason to use jQuery.

We're excited to announce several new features in the GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP) 1.12.0 that will increase not only "real" performance, but "perceived" performance as well. The innovative lagSmoothing() feature allows GSAP to automatically heal from CPU spikes that cause lag, all while maintaining perfect synchronization between all animations. And the new "lazy" rendering helps avoid layout thrashing when many animations start simultaneously.
