I feel like I may be overthinking this... 😬 I have multiple sections on a page, each with their own timeline, all of which are attached to the scrollbar via ScrollTrigger. The trigger for each section is the ID of the section's container, and the timelines start at the top of each container. I'm trying to set up a fixed navigation with anchor links for the user to navigate between these sections. The problem I'm running into is that when you click on a nav link, it scrolls the user to top of the container, which is the start of the timeline. Since the timeline is attached to the scroll bar, the user will then have to scroll to play out the rest of the timeline (which I feel is not always intuitive enough). Is there a way to link to the end of the timeline of a section? I tried putting a hidden element at the end of each section for the anchor link to link to... but that doesn't always play out the whole animation. I also thought about making separate timelines (but I feel like that's too much work for something that probably has an easier solution). Am I missing something?

Hi guys. I am trying to achieve an overlay menu animation using this stack: React, styled-components and gsap. I made a simplified example of my code in here: https://codesandbox.io/s/young-wildflower-ld94q The main overlay animation plays smoothly, but the menu items dont. I am trying to create a stagger effect for each MenuItem component. As you can see using useRef() hook only works only for the last component. When Iterating an array of components useRef() is not the right choice since the same ref has been passed to multiple objects, but still I have no idea how to get a progressive fade for each component and I'm not even sure I'm using gsap in the correct way. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance, Matteo.

Hey! I have a custom timeline UI (similar to the timeline in adobe after effects) where you can set keyframes for different properties like position, opacity, scale etc. I want to save those keyframes in a format like this { time: 1, value: { x: 100, y: 0 }} for the position and add them to the timeline animation. `time` is the position in the timeline where the element should have the x and y in `value`. I just can't figure out how I would set up the code without any additional calculations for the duration. Currently I have a timeline which should be always 3 seconds long and keyframes should be added to that timeline. This code just doesn't feel correct in my opinion because I would need to set the duration manually for each keyframe by checking if there is a keyframe before the current one and then using that time to calculate the duration. const timeline = gsap.timeline({ repeat: -1, duration: 3, paused: true, onUpdate: () => { // update UI } }) const prop = { x: 0, y: 0 } timeline.add( gsap.to(prop, { keyframes: [ { x: 100, y: 100, duration: 1 }, { x: 0, y: 0, duration: 1 } ] }) ) I hope it's understandable because I don't know how I should explain it well. Sorry for that! Can you please give me a hint how I would do this with gsap? I appreciate any help and advice! For reference: I want to "translate" a view like this into "gsap code".

Hi there, I'm new to gsap and have been following the docs but I'm struggling with the scrollTrigger function. The timeline function to animate '.industry-card' works fine but the animation is happening prior to reaching the trigger '.industries-section' Would love some assistance TIA https://codesandbox.io/s/scrolltrigger-struggle-7qtcms

Hi, I tried to use a timeline with scrollTrigger and it worked well. const sections = gsap.utils.toArray('.item2'); gsap.timeline({ scrollTrigger: { trigger: '.wrapper', start: 'center center', pin: true, srub: 1 } }) .to('.item1', { top: 50 }) .to(sections, { x: 50 }) The problem is that there is four items in *sections* which will cause a fast scroll speed on them and makes it look awkward because of the *scrub 1* and I wanted to use *scrub 4* on them. So I changed the code to this. gsap.timeline() .to('.item1', { top: 50, scrollTrigger: { trigger: '.wrapper', scrub: 1, pin: true, start: 'center center' } }) .to(sections, { x: 50, scrollTrigger: { trigger: '.wrapper', // I want to use a custom scrub here scrub: 4, pin: true, start: 'center center' } }) But then another problem occurred which caused the timeline not to be working properly. How do I set a custom scrub on an element without blowing the timeline?

Hi, I'm having a difficult time with this animation. I have a logo which is going to animate from the bottom then the letters of the logo are going to be reveal from right to left at the same time that it push the logo so everything stays centered. I have and example but it looks like the animation is starting from the center, and not from right to left. I tried to use a background image instead of the SVG and seems to work fine, the issue is that later on I need to change the logo color, so using background image is not an option. Any help would be appreciated. Here is an example of the animation I'm trying to do Screen Recording 2022-07-05 at 15.20.17.mov

Hello everyone, Hope you are fine, sorry for my english. My animation must be played twice time when the page is loaded. I have this animation code but it no longuer work: const logo = document.querySelector('.logo'); const visual = document.querySelector('.visual'); const wording = document.querySelector(".wording"); const sequence = document.querySelectorAll(".sequence"); const tlAnim = gsap.timeline(); tlAnim .add(() => { wording.classList.add('hide'); logo.classList.add('hide'); }) // Visual .from(visual, { x:-500, duration:.3, opacity:0, delay:.5 }) .to(visual, { x:-350, duration:.3, opacity:0, delay:4 }) .add(() => { visual.classList.add('hide'); logo.classList.remove('hide'); logo.classList.add('show'); wording.classList.remove('hide'); wording.classList.add('show'); }) // Shop Informations .from(sequence, { opacity:0, duration:.3, stagger:.2 }) .to(sequence, { opacity:0, duration:.3, stagger:-0.2, delay:4 }) tlAnim.restart(); I hope to find some help Best regards Adel

Hello, I'm trying to create the sketch shown in the demo with a very simple timeline that is activated on a button click and then reverses. The reverse command does nothing as far as I can see. I tried to do the same thing here without any buttons, but reverse also does not work here https://codepen.io/louise-temple/pen/GRxJXPW What am I missing?

I wanted that after the page is loaded the entire content of the page appeared, but when i added spawning animations on the ".hamburger" the rotation animation does not work then, but but as I remove reappearance animations it all works. How do i have rotation and appearance animations? I don't understand why keyframes don't work the line of code that causes the element to appear, when it is deleted, rotation will work .from('.hamburger', 0.3, {x:-100,})

Hi folks! I have a parent timeline consisting multiple child timelines with various durations and tweens. I create the parent timeline empty and paused, then add child timelines in a for loop, adding pause at the end of each. I use onStart and onUpdate methods to check the child timeline progress and update the progress bar styling on DOM, along other things. First run is working as intended, but when I use parent.restart() or parent.seek("childLabel").play(), the onUpdate of the next child timeline fires at the end of current child timeline. Behavior can be seen on console as well. Any ideas why?

Hello, I'm working on a React component for parallax image effect. The component: import React, { FC, useLayoutEffect, useRef } from 'react'; import { gsap } from 'gsap'; import { ScrollTrigger } from 'gsap/ScrollTrigger'; gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger); interface ParallaxImageProps { src: string; alt?: string; } export const ParallaxImage: FC<ParallaxImageProps> = ({ src, alt }) => { const parallaxImage = useRef(null); const parallaxImageInner = useRef(null); useLayoutEffect(() => { const tl = gsap.timeline({ scrollTrigger: { trigger: parallaxImage.current, scroller: '.nice-scroll-container', scrub: true, pin: false, }, }); tl.from(parallaxImageInner.current, { yPercent: -10, ease: 'none', }).to(parallaxImageInner.current, { yPercent: 10, ease: 'none', }); }, []); return ( <figure className="parallax-image" ref={parallaxImage}> <img src={src} alt={alt} className="parallax-image__inner" ref={parallaxImageInner} onLoad={() => ScrollTrigger.refresh()} /> </figure> ); }; I had tested onEnterand onLeavemethods and those executed in right time but animating image from yPercent: -10 to yPercent: 10 have not been working properly and have been triggering when the image comes in middle of the viewport. Any solution? Live Demo

I've reached my witts end here, I have been trying to solve this issue for the past hour or so but with no avail. I created an animation with GSAP that creates an illusion that you are zooming into a planet, then the planet will disappear and a random image of a lake with large rocks will appear and two text boxes appear, one of them with a button. Once you click on the button, the image of the lake and the two text boxes will disappear and another image of the night sky will take its place. Everything works well up to this point, however, when I resize the viewport, the image of the night sky disappears and the image of the large rocks appears again when it shouldn't. I've included the CODEPEN for this but I can't recreate the bug/error. gsap.timeline({ scrollTrigger: { trigger: ".earth_container", start: "-20% 0%", markers: false } }) .to(".earth_planet", { width: "+=2500", height:"+=2500", duration: 3 }) .set(".earth_container", { backgroundImage: "url('https://i.postimg.cc/Dy9ryPpB/earth-forest.jpg')", backgroundSize: "cover" }) .to(".earth_planet", { opacity: 0 }) .from(".text_info_box_earth_one", { opacity: 0 }) .from(".text_info_box_earth_two", { opacity: 0 }); the timeline above executes automatically and the code below is only executed when the user clicks on the button "Night Time". As i stated before, everything works fine to this point, but once i resize the window AFTER i click on the "Night Time" button, however, the backgroundImage of the ".earth_container" reverts back to the image of the lake, when it shouldn't... why do you think this is happening? function change_to_night_earth() { let newHTML = "The night sky is just as beautiful " + "as the the day time sky. Millions of stars in every " + "corner of the sky. There may be less light, but there isn't " + "less beauty at this time of the planet"; let new_HTML = "Click the button below if you want to return to " + "the day time of earth..." + "<br><br>" + "<button type='button' class='btn'> Day Time </button>"; gsap.timeline() .to(".text_info_box_earth_one", { opacity: 0 }) .to(".text_info_box_earth_two", { opacity: 0 }) .to(".earth_container", { opacity: 0 }) .set(".text_info_box_earth_one", { innerHTML: newHTML, attr: {class: "text_containers_white text_info_box_earth_one transitioning_fast"} }) .set(".text_info_box_earth_two", { innerHTML: new_HTML, attr: {class: "text_containers_white text_info_box_earth_two transitioning_fast"} }) //-----this is propbably where the error happens---------------------------------------------- .set(".earth_container", { backgroundImage: "url('https://i.postimg.cc/x8km9XKw/earth-night.jpg')", }) //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .to(".earth_container", { opacity: 1 }) .to(".text_info_box_earth_one", { opacity: 1 }) .to(".text_info_box_earth_two", { opacity: 1 }) }

Hi there! Just working on something for a calming app. I want the user to be able to choose how many breaths they'd like to take, then be walked through an animation that symbolizes each breath. After the animation is finished it should fade off the screen and go back to the section where they can choose how many breaths they'd like to take, starting the page over again essentially. The button that the user clicks is the value that my breatheAnimation will use to repeat. Right now I'm running each timeline separately when the button is clicked, leaving me to need a 4 second delay on my breatheAnimation (not ideal). I was previously attempting to do some kind of onComplete(), isActive stuff, buuut I didn't really know how to go about it with each timeline. Nesting the animations in functions also proved tricky as I wasn't able to use my updated breatheSelect value, it only took the 0 that the breatheSelect value is upon page load. Right now I have the animationRestart timeline commented out as it will simply run as soon as the button is clicked, even when it does run I can't actually start all of the animations again by clicking one of my options. I'm assuming this means I need to reset my timelines back to paused, but I'm not really sure. Thankful for the help in advance! Hope I've provided enough details.

I try to briefly describe my problem: I wrote a React application to generate a series of animations on a web page. Each element can be added with gsap animation effects. The animation can be rendered by passing the animation configuration parameters corresponding to this element to gsap. For example, to Implementing an animation that rotates an element will go through the following process: const config = { duration: 3, rotate: 360, delay: 1, } const element = "#text-element-1"; const timeline = gsap.to(element, config); Now, I will store the config corresponding to each element in redux, and then implement the function of modifying the config of the element through a form. This animation parameter is passed to gsap. Now, when I modify the animation parameters of an element and submit it to redux, the program will read the new config and recreate a gsap timeline instance. I use this timeline to control the animation by calling play () and other methods. Problem Description: ① When I use a default config to pass to gasp, the animation can be executed smoothly, the following is the correct animation execution (check the style attribute change of the dom element) ② But whenever I modify the config of the element, a timeline instance will be regenerated. At this time, the timeline instance will be called again, and the animation will not respond. However, I checked the dom and found that the style attribute was indeed updated by gasp , but not the correct one. You can clearly see the difference. After regenerating the timeline instance, gasp does change the style attribute of the element, but it should be done gradually, not all at once. Because of the complexity and size of the entire application, I can't provide an example through codepen, sorry. But I have provided partial examples and code screenshots with similar logic, I hope you can help me see. This code reads the element's config and then generates a masterTimeline instance: const keyframes: keyframesData = useSelector((state: any) => state.anime.keyframes); const hasKfrChange = useSelector((state: any) => state.anime.hasKfrChange); const [timeline, setTimeline] = useState(gsap.timeline({ paused: true })); useEffect(() => { const fragment = gsap.timeline({ paused: true }); if (keyframes) { Object.values(keyframes).forEach((value: any) => { fragment.add(animeExe(value), "<"); setTimeline(fragment); }); } else { throw new Error("data type of keyframesdata is only can be object"); } }, [hasKfrChange]); Parameter explanation: keyframes is an object that stores the config of each element. I will traverse to get all the animation parameters, and then pass them to animeExe. The role of animeExe is to accept the current incoming config, then generate a timeline instance, and return this value. Like this: timeline.to('#my-element', config); return timeline; A series of elements are contained in a keyframes object, and then, gsap animations of all elements will be added to the timeline instance, and finally will be added to the main timeline masterTimeline to realize gsap animation generation of a series of elements. So, my question is, why the different timeline instances re-create according to different configs are only valid when they are called for the first time, but are invalid after modifying the config?

Hey! Suuuuper new to GSAP. 😅 I'm setting up a timeline, and I have ScrollTrigger attached to the scrollbar. There are certain elements on the timeline that I want to slow down their animation 'cause they fly onto the page at the slightest touch of the scroll bar. What property or properties do I need to add or adjust to do this? Here's my code: ** And to add, I've tried changing the duration, delay, and scrub; none of those seem to have had an effect on the time it takes to scroll through an animation. let hcSection = gsap.timeline({ scrollTrigger: { trigger: "#healthcareHome", pin: true, start: "top top", end: "+=1000", scrub: 2, } }); hcSection.from('#healthcareHome .circle svg', { duration: 2, delay: 0.5, x: '+=200px', y: '100%', scale: 0, autoAlpha: 0, rotation:'360', ease: "power4", }).from(".healthcare-home-text", { duration: 2, delay: 0.5, y: '90%', autoAlpha: 0, ease: 'power4', }).from("#healthcareHome .web-browser",{ duration: 2, delay: 0.5, y: '90%', autoAlpha: 0, ease: 'power4', }).from("#hcBrowserSVG path, #hcBrowserSVG circle, #hcBrowserSVG g, #hcBrowserSVG text", { duration: 2, scale: 1.5, ease: "linear", force3D: true, opacity: 0, delay: 0.2, stagger: 0.2, transformOrigin:'50% 50%', }).to('#healthcareHome .row', { duration: 2, scale: 1.5, ease: "linear", force3D: true, opacity: 0, delay: 0.5, stagger: 0.2, transformOrigin:'50% 50%', });

How can we implement reactjs website animation with videos on scroll? On scroll, videos can be played continuously in a screen. The exact example is like below: https://staratlas.com/ Thank you.

I have an intro animation timeline that works great. The onComplete of this timeline then calls a function that uses Flip.from() to animate my header and brand from fullscreen to a normal top nav bar. After I use Flip.getState() I remove my ".big" class from my header, then use Flip.from(). When I remove the ".big" class from my header, it causes a jump in the animation. Is there a better way for me to accomplish this? I can't figure out how to get rid of the jump.

Hello, This forum seems very friendly and has been an asset in my journey so far. I’m hoping you can help me. I have created a scroll trigger section for a website. In the backend there are sections with a background image. And within those sections, a variable number of content, between 1-3. The sections are pinned to allow the content to scroll through however I’m having an issue with the background image. I’m trying to get the background image to be fixed, and for the new background image to slide in as the previous one slides out together, triggered around the center before the next section content gets pinned. As they are pinned, it ends up being more of a zig zag with the background image sliding out and a load of blank space till the previous pin scrolls out Can you suggest where I am going wrong here, or point me in the right direction? Thank you

I'm animating some text on a path back and forth, quite a simple animation but occasionally the type keeps jumping and glitching. If you watch the demo on codepen you'll see some letters, quite randomly and sporadically jump or flip over. You might have to watch it a few times as some times it happens more than others – I can't seem to figure out why it's happening or find a fix, any ideas or help on this would be massively appreciated!

Tweenings Greetings, I've shared a demo that works okay in codepen, but has many syncing issues in prod (react). I'd like to know if there is a better way to do what I'm doing here. I'm also curious to find some docs on helping gsap get initialized before rendering. Seem to have the odd refresh where my text treatment is all messed up. After initial text and video wipe this should happen: With the frame cuts of the video the span in "The next number is" {1} should update. With the frame cuts the bg gradient should also update. On repeat is should stay in sync with the video. Thanks for any help. First time forum asker.

Hi all, I have extensive code, so I took only the issue part. There is a boolean value in my code, and I'm changing it in a timeline that I can then reverse. The value is changing, but if you open a console and open an object, you'll see it isn't. My question is, am I doing something wrong? Can you help me, please?

I used multiple timeline .When i scroll slowly everything works but scroll quickly animation jump and doesn't work . Anyone if you can help this,plz help me.

The Timeline play() method with ScrollTrigger is not working after the pin starts. Overview: There are 3 sections(red, blue, yellow). The blue section is pinned with ScrollTrigger. In the blue section there is a cyan box animated with the help of TimeLine(initially the animation is paused). There is button below the cyan box to play the animation/timeline. Steps to check: 1. Scroll to a point so that the blue section is not pinned yet and you can see the cyan box and the "ANIMATE" button. 2. Press the "ANIMATE" button and it should animate as many times as you press the button. 3. Now scroll more into into the blue section so that the blue section gets pinned. 4. Now try to click the "ANIMATE" button and you will see the TimeLine is not playing. The "ANIMATE" button will not work once the pinning starts so reload the page and follow steps 1 and 2 to see that the animation did indeed work befoer the pinning. This maybe a trivial mistake on my part. Thanks for your help.

I'm Oliver, a noob of web animation,these two days I'm trying to do gsap marquee side project, I build 500 dom boxes as the sandbox url: https://codesandbox.io/s/gsap-marquee-test-6zx2d?file=/src/App.js&fbclid=IwAR1tbmloHRXHUBHKG5FjBGDAx0TFd9sTkBJfSwpye8CQteO-TO8FNi1w4mw and I have few question: 1.I used setTimeout to seperate each box as a unique timeline animation,so that the single box animation could go to another line immediately after finished last line, instead of waiting the other 499 boxs finished in the same line if I use property stagger. This method would produce 500 timeline instances,it seems not a good idea, are there any methods could produce the same animation in one or few timeline? 2.If I do such animation in canvas,the browser render effciency would be better?
