Incredible scroll-based animations with CSS-only

[@KOBE42__]

I’m beginning to love CSS so much more these days. I really appreciate your work in keeping us in the loop with the latest CSS functionalities. 👌

[@cmukama]

This is exactly what I needed to refactor out an old JS animation library. The creator left 3 years ago and nobody knew how to deal with it. Thank you Kevin

[@KevinPowell]

Just watch out for browser support, since it's far from perfect! The polyfill helps, but as I show near the end, it isn't perfect.

[@hungry_khid1007]

Huh? U dont know javascript?

[@cmukama]

@@hungry_khid1007 It's 5MBs of minified javascript. My 12 years of JS experience are useless here

[@lian1238]

You can have javascript update a css variable in your DOM whenever the user scrolls. The variable can be absolute pixels or a percentage of the total height.

[@mamlzy]

is it AOS?

[@santoshparker8681]

We all are blessed to have a teacher like you kevin .

[@m.arslansarwar9449]

You've made me love CSS. You've no idea how much you're helping us with your content.

[@albedesigns]

Absolutely! Kevin is my go to guy to understanding & learning the more advanced CSS.

[@MrWhiteav6]

Kevin, I just wanted to say I've been watching your videos since I first started learning to code. I've moved on to Mobile App development with RN but I still build websites and need help with CSS and you are the GURU! You are also just a pleasure to learn from, I love your personality. Keep being you man! Thanks for all the help!

[@steelrazor]

Big kudos for mentioning "prefers-reduced-motion". It's such a small adjustment and an easy (essential) accessibility win in my eyes.

[@alirahmani5601]

Really appreciate the longer content; keeping the quality even as far as shooting after editing, thanks for that :)

[@AnthonyGruba]

This is so good, 5 minutes and I know exactly what I was looking for! I have to watch everything if just 5 minutes gave me that much

[@rebell570]

It's so cool to see more and more animation functionality becoming built-in to CSS. 👍🏻

[@prathmeshkalehere]

yeah its great

[@k16e]

The MDN of CSS on YT. How otherwise would I know of this sort of CSS-orcery but for Mr. Powell! Thanks, sir!

[@ellisj98]

I can’t believe this wasn’t in CSS before in hindsight.. it’s such a good feature. It’s also great to have it native in CSS as it can be easily disabled and enabled depending on the users motion settings.

[@simonswiss]

I finally understood the difference between "cover" and "contain" thanks to this video!

[@randomforest_dev]

The future is bright for CSS! thanks for the video.

[@leifn]

Thank you for this great introduction! Especially the part about the animation ranges would be a pain to figure out by oneself.

[@WUOTH]

Thank you and perfect timing, just what I need for an ongoing project :)

[@madisonkeck1230]

Thanks!

[@erikvanzanen]

Ok, here I am using a Jscript to make an image move from left to right, from a certain point you scroll by on the page. This is great

[@rafelgrau]

Just that you will not be able to use it until at least one more year, that is if you put it in a commercial webpage

[@mimoduocss]

I was looking for viewport based animation timeline and it was view() the entire time! My brain is too mushy for MDN docs, thank you!

[@ScottMackey]

Just an amazing demo and explanation Kevin!! It's so nice to see the css is close to where is should be, handling all the basic animation and visuals that javascript had to do for css. Thanks again 🙂

[@avi12]

12:39 Rather than wrapping the CSS with a media query, it's easier to set the animation as intended and then add in a reduced motion media query that resets the animations on the page

[@christophedelobel3904]

POWER of CSS, thanks for this demo.

[@hw5622]

Amazing! I was looking for how to do this with simple css. Thank you so much!

[@PacificDev]

too late to watch it at 1am, but I know I'll need this at some point so saved and liked 👍! I should pay you a coffee at some point for all tips and tricks I learned from you. Thanks for the amazing work Kevin 🙌

[@adrianperdomollerena5884]

Dude you are awesome, Ive always loved CSS but you make it even cooler to be a front end dev, now I can talk about reducing javascript and interception observers at work so we can add more nice animations

[@fksociety137]

Love it! Great post as usual Kevin!

[@tomcat1112k]

thank you for the amazing thoroght video Kevin. Loved it. i'll use the banner animation in my university assignment. and I'll obviously give you credit for this in the reference.

[@Jaguar_Uche]

Where is the beginning of the video please???

[@gabuhl9509]

Thanks a lot Kevin!! , Top most valuable CSS information!! Thanks a lot for sharing!!

[@brobinbraauw5523]

this video is so good, thanks a bunch! Going to start using it for my own projects right away!

[@trinidadfaccini1006]

thank you for this tutorial, amazing explanations loved that you mention the small -but big- considerations that we must have when creating a website so that it is accessible and navigable for everyone

[@Cognitoman]

Safari and Firefox is a no go

[@Jaguar_Uche]

Where is the beginning of the video please???

[@seeds.ffmpeg]

I'm assuming scroll looks at the stacking context by default, it's neat you can pass it root. Thanks a lot for the video! You're the reason I've been keeping up with new CSS features.

[@havefun5519]

Nice step-by-step tut.

[@carbellsarfo]

This was so helpful Kevin. The part about animating the hero section, The animations are not working, when I copy the same code and put it anywhere else, they work perfectly.

[@mohammadmahdialvansaz8001]

this is just what i need right now. thank you

[@jenstornell]

Best video I have seen this week. Congrats! 🎉

[@albedesigns]

This is perfect... exactly what I was hoping to be able to do without JS. CSS really is amazing!

[@dixxixio]

I really learn a lot from your channel. Thank you for your generous hardwork.

[@fersahahmet9597]

that was awsome, exciting to learn and again Kevin ,thank you

[@Jaguar_Uche]

Where is the beginning of the video please???

[@theia1357]

thank you! needed this to get started on animation

[@MusfikaAkter-ki6rk]

Wow kevin. I just love this . Thank you so much.

[@MoussaSaiditv]

This is the most amazing tutorial I've ever watched. Amazing feature and the way you expalained it made it looks easy. Thank you ❤

[@WarehouseDev]

Amazing what you can achieve with only CSS these days! Thanks, Kevin

[@mouhamadalmounayar2199]

I love this dude because he actually explains things.

[@Jaguar_Uche]

The video is incomplete???

[@kevinfisher7032]

Wow CSS is really kicking it these days! On a side note it’s interesting that the “forget-that-we-do-it-this-way- now” cycle is getting shorter and shorter. It’s seems like only yesterday we were struggling with intersection observers and now….oh, forget all that... we have a few lines of CSS now :-)

[@MikkoRantalainen]

Great video! All I can say about this feature is that it sure took a long time until a standard method to do this appeared. And it'll still take some time until it will be supported in all browsers. And if you want to see support for this in all browsers sooner, DO NOT USE POLYFILLS. When end users see that their browser cannot show fancy effects, they will switch to better browsers - which puts a lot of pressure to the developers of the browser that doesn't yet support these effects to implement them. Remember that you must always make the content usable without scroll effects because some users opt out of animations because of health issues so you should definitely not try to force effects on them.

[@memcap]

Do you experience a horizontal scrollbar issue when scaling the background image up in "the hero area animation" section of this video? It seems that we need to set overflow to not be hidden in order to use the view() and scroll() CSS functions. This animation appears to distort layouts by increasing the width of the container of the background. (Chrome on Windows.) Great content. Thanks for your efforts.

[@alphawebtips2950]

Thank you, Kevin. I'm definitely trying these out.

[@combinio9533]

I truly appreciate Your css skills. Also, great teaching approach! Thanks for sharing :))

[@gholapyash]

Thanks sir, This is what I was looking for and this is gonna help me to make my portfolio much better without using that old library 🙏🏻

[@DrewDoesDevops]

Hello Kevin! Thank you for the video! I do have a suggestion: For newbie coders that are watching videos like these, can you take some time to explain some of these concepts to those of us not fully familiar with them yet? I get that some of the concepts may and will make sense the further along us newbies would get, however, that would be SUPER helpful. Keep up the AWESOME WORK!

[@Jaguar_Uche]

[@kevin053100]

謝謝！

[@KevinPowell]

Thank you so much!

[@___rituraj___]

Hey man, when it comes to CSS , you always rock and outshine others🚀🔥 So why don't you curate a structured playlist by arranging all your made videos in such a way that a beginner can learn CSS from basics to advance and such playlist will also get a good reach. It will also help self taught programmers to learn from one place instead of hopping from one resource to another.

[@mrnabby4178]

Learnt a lot of things. Thanks sir.

[@udit.roshan]

This makes EVERYTHING so easy now.

[@BrendansReasons]

learning so much so quickly here

[@LorenzoGasperoni]

This video teach me so many new features. AWESOME! Thanks a lot!

[@Officialdave99]

This is so wonderful kevin!

[@khuramchef6521]

You are making great points that are in-trending Thank you @Kevin

[@emmanuelmantilla1465]

You're great Kevin, who would thought now we can use CSS instead of intersecting everything

[@GilGoldshlager]

Great stuff, will use it for sure 👍👍👍

[@maximilianoInfinito]

Thanks for sharing this! Kevin you are awesome!

[@corykey9187]

Wow I discovered line-height: 1cap and this in one week. Game-changing times. Thanks!

[@avivperets7360]

Damn i can watch your work for days haha, Thanks alot you gave me lots of inspiration from this video

[@kokapeli]

This is so awesome! Great video, thank you!

[@0muhammedirfan]

Thanks alot bro❤

[@josephm.6676]

@Kevin great topic choice. 👏 🎉 Love to see this!

[@julientattevin]

At 20:00 about the horizontal tag, you use scroll(root), would view() also work ?

[@АлександрЧеремных-ц9б]

You are great person, keep doing, you make people happier

[@dirty-kebab]

This is brilliant!

[@myfreedom42]

that dont works on firefox... so unable to use it in production. Do you know when FF will add this CSS update ?

[@codewithsehran]

That's the video what I'm searching for 1 days i sawed it before in somewhere!

[@JasonAul]

Is there a repo for this demo you showed us?

[@AniketEdot]

Hey Kevin! thanks for this video. It really was informative. However i noticed when i used the animation-timeline: view() property, it seems to work on all devices, EXCEPT safari and ios/ipad os. Is there anyway to fix this? or do i have to use js ? Thanks

[@rodrigonoales]

Hi Kevin, great video... question, did you test this with native lazy load for the images ? I mean, does lazy load break the visual effect in any way, like jumps in animation or it still works smoothly as it loads the assets? Thank you !!

[@skyfall2984]

Thank you very much for what you teaching us here.. god bless you

[@SrinivasReddy07]

CSS God @Kevin Powell. This is awesome, learned a lot. Thank you Kevin.

[@GarethField]

I love that he leaves in the naming whoopsies and everything, it’s such an affirming, “*You* *can* code!”

[@Jaan-g9r]

[@vanesanchez5578]

jojo! Sufrí mucho para lograrlo 😅 porque agregué el efecto a un sitio ya hecho con Tailwind, pero se logró y aprendí! 💪 Gracias!

[@paweliszka44]

I was totally at that point "ohh @animations why I miss that exists LOL" you made my day :)

[@AlexanderBelov-y8o]

What a time to be alive!

[@EmmanuelB]

that's incredibly useful and powerful! Thanks!

[@ন.ই.রিমন]

Oh Kevin!! You are the boss❤❤.

[@portfedh]

very cool! Thank you for teaching this!

[@alexway303]

Cool stuff. But it was difficult to understand or replicate horizontal scroll animation (16:04 - working with scrollbars that are not the main viewport), cause essential part of the code is behind the scenes.

[@marvell8862]

i love the way you laugh when you teach

[@szym6r]

Hello! Thanks for this explanation! BTW There is any way to fix 'header-image-animation' if sporadically it doesn't work? I noticed after quick scroll to the top the opacity is still set to 0. When I open WebTools it's appears with correct opacity.

[@ΝικόλαοςΤζουνάκος]

awesome video again!

[@iboy35]

Why not say up front that it doesn't work with Safari and Firefox?

[@Developer_Yusuf]

I am confusing. No words. Kevin is the best

[@billycroacker]

Man, I swear on my head: in the first 30 seconds you summarized everything I have been looking for during the whole afternoon without finding decent and concise results. Now I came here two minutes ago and boom: problem solved. God bless you 🥲

Really helpful video! At 16:24 you are referring to another demo, whats the name of it?

[@thematrix29]

this is great, Kevin! 😮😄😃

[@RodrigoNishino]

Very nice! Merry Chirstmas

[@khaledfarghly6480]

Man You have just choked me by the fact that there is a something new in CSS called @animation and I didn't hear about it.

[@olusanyaayomide5336]

Perfect video You're amazing kevin

[@dertester1]

Man, I just want you to know, that I respect the f out of you, for keeping the little mistakes in there and not editing them out. Like the "animation" and "keyframe" mixup at the beginning. It really shows how natural that is and how it stays that way, even if you worked for years with coding. Also your stuff in general is awesome!
