Animating with CSS Transitions - A look at the transition properties

[@mountains_and_stuff]

The tips on Javascript using ms and the CPU/GPU strain of certain animations is gold. Thank you!

[@NeroIvanY]

Finally! I have understand the difference between all these 'ease' transitions! Thank you, Kevin!

[@KevinPowell]

Awesome, glad the video helped clear that up Ivan!

[@planttherapyph2817]

For a while, I've been so confused when to use keyframes and transitions, but thanks for this! Finally, I understood it so much better! "Transitions require a trigger to run. The trigger may be one of the events listed in the last section or it might be JavaScript, but the transition needs something outside itself to start. CSS animations don’t need a trigger. They can respond to a trigger, but one isn’t needed to start the animation. Animations can run automatically when the page first loads. If you need your elements to change or move automatically, you have only one choice: animations. Transitions are limited to an initial and final state. Animations can include as many intermediate states (keyframes) as desired in between the initial and final states. This gives you more control over CSS animations and lets you create more complex animations. Transitions work better for simpler animations. Transitions can’t change CSS properties. You set the property values on a selector and perhaps the selector’s :hover state. The transition defines how the change occurs, but not the specific start and end values. Animations, on the other hand, can change property values inside their keyframes. The property values don’t even need to exist outside of the animation keyframes. This makes animation far more dynamic and flexible than transitions. Transitions can’t loop. They run when triggered and then run in reverse when the trigger is removed. Animations can loop as many times as you want. They can run forward or in reverse, or they can alternate between the two. Once again, CSS animations offer more refined control. I’m probably making it sound as though you should always choose animations. Transitions have their good side, too. Transitions are typically easier and quicker to work with. This is especially true if you use JavaScript to give yourself a little more control. For example, it’s easier for JavaScript to make changes to intrinsic property values than to property values inside animation keyframes. As a general rule, you’ll write more code using CSS animations than you will using CSS transitions, assuming both are attempting to do the same thing. However, if you find yourself writing the same transition code over and over, you might want rewrite it as a single keyframe animation that can be easily added to a number of different elements."

This was really helpful. Thanks for the comment!

[@sinc1802]

Although It's been like 3 years since this video was released, but because of you, I have found a treasure chest in my browser's dev tools (yes I was talking about that curve thingy). Thank you :)

[@casperr3717]

Thankyou Kevin for the clear explanation!. For everyone who wants to remember the transition-timing-function (6:44) I thought about the following: The subject is your home just remember around the house u are quick when leaving u are in hurry, When arriving back home u are late so running in the home also. This makes the values mean: Ease-in = u start walking slowly but when u arrive u race inside. Ease-out = u leave the house in a hurry; running and then continue walking slowly. Ease-in-out = combine above! (the home is the running part again). Just like the mailmen that approach the house with the mean guard dogs; u walk slowly run to that house and run away to walk slowly again. Linear = without a house. Just a slow and steady walk true town.

[@flaviucristian3658]

For a junior full-stack dev I found your videos very useful. You are explaining new concepts really well. Keep up the good work

[@atarixle]

I used transitions for quite a long time now, but as they say:"Every Day You Learn Something New". Thank you for teaching me cubic-bezier and transition-delay. Together this your Video "::before and ::after" (Part 2) I replaced a JavaScript function with CSS only. Keep making such great videos!

[@KevinPowell]

So glad to hear that my videos have helped you out atarixle!

Just great. You're my mentor in CSS. Humble, kind and the stuff. Thanks Kevin.

[@threeone6012]

Kevin's channel and webdevsimplified are the absolute best!

[@borisbosnjak9772]

This is the first time I am seeing this cubic-bezier value...It's so helpfull and fun to play with. Thank you!

[@KevinPowell]

It's soooo useful :)

[@d.o.nmuzic3802]

KEVIN !!!!!!! This simple and clear break down was so good! I just started trying to learn css two days ago. Your simple breakdown really help me get a good understanding. Thank you! Do you have something like this for css grid/and or positioning? I really appreciate this tutorial!

[@KevinPowell]

I have one that looks at position absolute. My grid videos are a little all over the place, but the playlist I have on it should help get you started with it :)

[@joeldcanfield_spinhead]

Especially appreciate the insight into CPU/GPU usage. Some of us (ahem*me*ahem) like to, as someone said in this video, animate everything. I"m also learning a lot about the inspector in Chrome; so much I didn't realize I was missing.

[@akashkhatri4652]

Thank you so much for this! I really hope you make some backend related videos as well, like PHP, Laravel etc. You make it really easy to understand things.

[@KevinPowell]

Sorry to disapoint, but I'm not a backend guy at all, so that won't be happening :( I'm glad that you like how I explain things though!

[@hagopderderian6824]

@@KevinPowell im currently learning frontend yet my teacher couldnt explain me everything but you did better job than him i understood better now i can practice on it ...is there more vids about transitions and stuff ?

[@cleitonandrade8802]

Best tutorial I found on CSS transitions.

[@revillsimon]

Just like the amp/filter envelopes on a synthesizer... If you're a musician, you'll already understand it. For me, this was a bonus!

[@KevinPowell]

That's really awesome that it's the same, I had no idea! I'm very musically challenged, lol.

[@revillsimon]

At the moment I'm discovering from my background in music and music technology that there are many parallels between coding, design, development, music, and music production. Concepts like layering, timing functions like this and also the mathematical side of things, feel very familiar to me. Thanks for another great video Kevin.

Great Content Kevin... Well detailed and crisp explanations.

[@denshin2724]

Fantastic! i learned keyframing, but more and more i stood up on transitions, by looking in sample projects exc~ "study on freecodecamp, and they discovered more keyframing for me, then transitions" and i was like.. wow... aniway long story short: i typed in my search :: Transition Kevin powell. and yep you got it! Your'e my favorite teacher!!!!! And thnx! i just learned the basics, no wait the whole subject in 17minutes! Your'e to good for this world!!!! stay following you.

awesome tutorial and i cracked up when you repeated your outro lol. leaving a like and sub

[@KevinPowell]

Thanks for the sub!

[@A_Lesser_Man]

oh. didn't know about "all" causing a performance hit. i, stupidly, assumed the engine would see the other properties aren't changing and no bother with those properties. good to know. ty.

[@gilbertr3651]

Great video man, you've earned a subscriber!

[@KevinPowell]

Glad you liked it Gilbert, and thanks for subbing!

[@daynablackwell5885]

Would it be fair to generalize by saying that 'transform' defines _what_ you will be animating and 'transition' defines _how_ it will be animated (in other words, the properties of the animation itself) ?

[@KevinPowell]

That's a really nice way to think about it.

[@thecorleone8777]

You deserve my subscription

[@johnconnor9787]

Kevin, please, could you make a video on css perspective and mix-blend-mode properties? That would be great

[@courtneyyamanishi-baker2889]

This was super informative, thank you so much!

[@GTexperience_Channel]

how did u get your transitions to play simultaneously? I have some that I add/remove a class from with js, but they keep playing in sequence.

[@salo1052]

great pen on the timing-function, very illustrative 👍

[@facinick]

Hey, Can you tell me, what is the best approach to have responsiveness in terms of feasibility, smoothness and cost of execution, with CSS media queries or java script? I am currently using CSS media queries to hide and unhide elements at different widths ( like changing a div options component to a menu component ), there are a few libraries in react like react-responsive that use HOOKS but where I'm working, I for some reason cannot use hooks.. I can for sure use event handlers and get window width from JS but react rendering is done with every prop/state change (here state could be window width for responsiveness and yes I am using react..) .., I need to make page responsive, which I can via CSS, but when it comes to component level like i have 5 react components which are on different repository I donot have access to.. how can I let them know it's a max-width change and define what they gotta behave as? My question I don't really think is clear.. incase you get it its good, else please let me know, I'll explain further.. Also I love your videos, I have worked on devops, but your video got me interested in CSS so much. It's do powerful only of people knew.. Regards :)

[@WPCliffsNotes]

Nice tutorial! I love CSS transitions.

[@KevinPowell]

Thanks, glad you liked it! Transitions are super useful in creating better user experiences (and making things look nice!). Too many people focus on trying to do stuff with animations and getting complicated, but a lot can be done with a simple transition

[@ateeba-mateen]

Mr Kevin, first of all, a huge bundle of thanks. I have question! How did you make all those 4 boxes undergo transition at once when you were hovering over only one box at a time? I could not do that.

[@hamedwahabzada5279]

In my vs code transition-property does't know about transform what should i do? It can accept all but does't apply transform

[@shezzammahi9136]

My question is "What will be the syntax or code If I want to put a delay of some seconds only after when I take off my cursor not when I hover ?". What will be the solution?.

[@mrhossein1976]

Nice video. Thanks. Just at the end i didn't understand that we should limit our usage of transition,and use more transform and opacity properties? It would have been great if you put an example of using transform and opacity instead of transition in the use cases which are possible. And also do you know any references that tells us which properties uses the GPU and the CPU? thank you

[@harkitnebamake]

Good tutorial ! but I tried to open the ul on button:hover instead of button:focus , as soon as I leave the button and go to the li , the ul disappears . How to fix it ?

[@chrisloach9658]

Why is ease-in not the same a linear on the way out and ease-out not the same as linear on the way in? If that makes sense? Is it just "ease"? In that case what's the difference between "ease" and "ease-in-out"?

[@soultouchingsongs]

Awesome video 👌. Thank you

[@fireofenergy]

Can you add transition-reverb 😃 (instead of coding all the back and forths, slowly fading to static).

could you show us how did you sync the hover over the 4 time-function. because i could not figure out how to have all of them in a one class but have different time-function on each one and still have a one hover tag

[@robinkohrs8097]

Thats so great thank you so much!! I kind of struggle to understand where to put the animation in css. Like for example at 5:22 if you would put all the transition* properties on the .box:hover, would this do the same?

Hi, Quick Question so I have a box that extends when u hover over it but i want it to, when it expands, make words appear. Is that possible if so please let me know!

[@KevinPowell]

If you set `overflow: hidden`, if you set a height that's smaller than the text, it would hide the text that would spill out the bottom.
