Using Anchor Links in Adobe XD - With Scrolling Animation | Tutorial

[@CalerEdwards]

Don't forget to give the video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it! Have any tutorials you want to see next? Let me know :D

[@AshishKumar-rq3zp]

Same experience, but in mobile design please..

[@discoinferno2654]

This tutorial was pretty useful I mean I understood easily all the steps you showed but could you make a more detailed tutorial on how you did that airpods into the case animation? It would be a useful lesson!

[@seeinghuman]

I would love to see how this (and many others) are then developed in Webflow....

[@aimanali9868]

Tricky animation hint: Use "fix position when scrolling" option to fix the position of Airpods even after scrolling. Put the "lid of airpod container" layer behind Airpod layer. And the "airpod container" layer above the airpod layer. The animation at 3:59 can be achieved simply by creating a component of airpod layer and changing the position of airpods in the hover state. Hope this helps :)

thankies bro :>

thankies bro . But how can i put layer on and behind pods?

You are really talented and proffessional. I love your tutorials and I always learn something new. The work around is not the greatest and we really need on scroll animation - hopefuly they will add it soon. But for now - your solution is really good, great design!

[@evgeniyperekhod9278]

nice, thank you Caler, I always wanted to learn how to do the scrolling animation

[@CalerEdwards]

Happy to help! Hope Adobe adds a trigger for this in the future :D

@@CalerEdwards It would be really amazing if you make a motion design tutorial or better a course. I found this on dribbble, it looks absolutely amazing dribbble.com/shots/7120561-Bike-Configuration However, I also understand that it's not made in XD, probably in premier or after effect, I'd really love to learn the motion graphics.

Great video, thanks for sharing! I just have one question.. How do you transition your AirPods to the case? 🤯

great tutorial Caler but i have a question how were you able to make the airpods fit in the case?

[@CalerEdwards]

The bottom of the case is a layer above the airpods. And the top of the case is a layer behind them. Hope that helps :D

[@jan6743]

Hi, lets say you have a one page website with 6 sections. On the left side you have a fixed menu which highlights what section you land on. How would you create that without making 6 artboards?

[@souravpanthari1052]

same doubt here, please let me know too if you find how we do that.

[@Tibiscuit_OW2]

Hey, clean tutorial gg ! Is that possible to make the same but the animation "start" with the scroll of the mouse ? Like on the apple website -> at each notch of the scroll, it make tiny % of the animation ? Tysm

[@Excalibur1580]

Great video as always Caler! I couldn't find the Scrolling feature until you literally had to drag the wire as opposed to just doing from the states... Hmmmm.

[@tonyemenike]

This is a great tutorial, how did you make the AirPods enter the case?

[@RaziRefiRafeek]

Tony Emenike The airpods are fixed on scroll. The lid of the case is a seperate image behind the airpods and the front portion of the case is placed in front (z-axis)

[@tonyemenike]

@@RaziRefiRafeek thank you so much

[@loopcom12]

how are you able to get full aspect ratio of prototype preview artboard ?

[@MrblondeBEAST]

Very cool man, never thought of doing it this way! When you have the hover on the airpods, you would also have that on the second state right? So they would still move when you hover them, even if they are in the case :p still very cool!

[@abhishekgautam478]

Hey Caler Edwards, I'm very beginner in graphic designs. I can't cope up with the designers on dribbble. Whenever I try to make something like those, I fail miserably. I also want to make good and clean designs like you and users in dribbble. Would you give me some tips to go on?? I'm losing my focus. Thanks!

[@BryanMario]

The only advice I could give you is, stop comparing yourself to others that have been doing the same work for years, don't pretend to get the same results in weeks when it took a really long time for these people to learn those skills. Always keep a positive mindset about your own work, finish it and don't just let it die. I'm talking from experience. Stop living to others expectations. Maybe you work isn't as polished today, or tomorrow, not even in a month from now, but if keep working and learning new skills, and compare your work only to yourself, you will easily see the big improvement over a one year period, I promise you that. Losing focus and interest is really easy, no one can help you overcome those difficulties but yourself. I recommend making friends and meeting new people with the same interests as you. Hope that helps and makes sense, good luck to you.

[@abhishekgautam478]

[@nahida4444]

I would like to know how you did that with the airpods going inside the case

[@ryabyan]

Here's how I think he did it. 3 separate layers: Lid, Airpods, Case. The Airpod layer is mashed between the other two so when they meet, it appears as if the Airpods are inside the case.

[@giftchuks9619]

Hi Caler don’t know if anyone has asked this question But I’m really curios to know how you made the AirPod enter the case Are they separate entity using hierarchy level Like how did you do it that the airpod enters the case Is the case broken into smaller bits and are you using hierarchy ?? Will really appreciate your response

[@CalerEdwards]

Yea the top of the case is on a lower layer than the bottom. With the AirPods on a layer in between them.

[@karilevamp]

Can you use the anchor links on another art board or is it just for a single art board?

[@paulaalejandrahurtadoflore6681]

Question, If I make a landing page prototype animated, like this, does the developer do it as HTML or flash? Could you explain a little about this to me? PLEASE HELP!!

[@tomsawyer2k]

If u do the animations in XD, can the developer do the exact animation I guess using JS?

[@shivamgera7353]

You can do this with css3 too using smooth scroll to html element and id to the section where you wan't to navigate.

[@tomsawyer2k]

@@shivamgera7353 Thanks for the reply, but do u mean all the effects in XD or in Adobe Effects can be done by CSS or JS? Isnt it tedious? Is this the normal practice in development?

[@themikias]

@@tomsawyer2k yea it is normal practice for front-end devs

[@wajidali4267]

how airpods are fit in box while animate... ?

[@duoduo9058]

This is a late reply and you probably have figured it out by yourself right now.But I think he just put the airpods in a layer between the cap and the box,and used the same hover trigger to activate the animation.

[@ariefkurniawan1026]

What if it was done in the navigation menu. Say "Overview" is active in blue at first, after selecting "Tech Specs" it will move to the Tech Specs section. Where navigation is fixed?

[@adamsmith8347]

I am not understanding how you got the type to go from Transparent to Solid between the Hover and Default states? I have tried this and doesnt work -you can only apply one Opacity value to both states? It is universal for me? Or has your text been made to be outlined / copy>pasted from Illustrated? Thanks for clarifying.

[@MrblondeBEAST]

When you put an opacity on the default states, it will affect that value to all of the states. Then go to the new state (hover in this case) give the opacity 100%, and it will only affect that hover state. The default states kind of overwrites, so make sure you do the default state first, then whichever you want to change from that. Hope that helps :)

First tutorial I can't follow. Is that all one artboard? How did you create a component? Or a section? 🤨🤨🤨

[@JadenAccord]

He's using a single artboard, the dashed line indicates where the viewport end. If you create an artboard with specific dimensions, you can just drag the bottom to expand it, the viewport will stay the same. To create a component you have to select all the objects and right-click and select "Make component" or simply press ctrl + K (cmd + K on Mac?)
