This is so simple that I have to be missing something easy.
I'm setting the paragraph element to an opacity of 0;
Then I'm splitting the text into words.
I'm then just trying to stagger the words to an opacity of 1. I can't get this to work. I can make it staggerTo opacity of 0 but not the other way around. Here is my Codepen. http://codepen.io/trshelto/pen/YZQPwd/
TweenMax.set("p", {opacity: 0});
var text = new SplitText("p", {type: "words"}),
words = text.words;
var tl = new TimelineLite({delay: 1});
tl.staggerTo(words, 1, {opacity: 1}, 0.1);
