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
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.
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!
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.
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 🙂
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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 🙌
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.
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.
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 :-)
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.
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
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!
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
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 🥲
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 !!
I think the "avoid animations" @media query should be written to be NOT "reduce". This allows it to work correctly if the prefers-reduced-motion has other values but "no-preference" and "reduce" in the future. For example, if the preference allows opt-in for "fancy" animations in the future query for no-preference would disable animations for those users, too.
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.
Excellent as ever… wouldn’t it be cool if you could have the background image fixed vertically, then zoom in and fade on scroll, then start zooming into the next background image. Reverse the zoom for scrolling back up.
You probably could, actually! I didn't include it in here but I've been playing around with fixed things using position: sticky that worked really well. Not what you're describing, but I have a feeling it would be possible!
i really dont know if this works out for you better then I expected.. but even tho i am a programmer and like doing it i dont wanna watch a movie on the new css feature.. 30 minutes like this one is really the max for me. Id much prefer a showoff and tutorial split
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.
I literally paused the video when I saw @animation and started googling... took me a few minutes and got distracted by some other stuff before coming back to the video. 😂😂 This is what I call 'premature optimization' lol
I’m loving this tutorial but is there anyway to make it work on Firefox and safari? I’ve tried many things but it seems impossible. I hope you have an answer 🙏
Going to have to try some of these great tips. I'm curious what would happen if the entry and exit "cross over." For example if viewed on a phone held landscape with a large image that starts exiting before it fully enters. Assuming you'd need media queries to handle.
We all are blessed to have a teacher like you kevin .
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. 👌
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
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.
Huh? U dont know javascript?
@@hungry_khid1007 It's 5MBs of minified javascript. My 12 years of JS experience are useless here
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.
is it AOS?
You've made me love CSS. You've no idea how much you're helping us with your content.
Absolutely! Kevin is my go to guy to understanding & learning the more advanced CSS.
Big kudos for mentioning "prefers-reduced-motion". It's such a small adjustment and an easy (essential) accessibility win in my eyes.
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!
It's so cool to see more and more animation functionality becoming built-in to CSS. 👍🏻
yeah its great
Really appreciate the longer content; keeping the quality even as far as shooting after editing, thanks for that :)
I finally understood the difference between "cover" and "contain" thanks to this video!
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
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.
The MDN of CSS on YT. How otherwise would I know of this sort of CSS-orcery but for Mr. Powell! Thanks, sir!
Nice step-by-step tut.
I love this dude because he actually explains things.
The future is bright for CSS! thanks for the video.
POWER of CSS, thanks for this demo.
Thank you for this great introduction! Especially the part about the animation ranges would be a pain to figure out by oneself.
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
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
This makes EVERYTHING so easy now.
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 🙂
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!
Thank you and perfect timing, just what I need for an ongoing project :)
learning so much so quickly here
Amazing! I was looking for how to do this with simple css. Thank you so much!
This was so helpful Kevin.

thank you! needed this to get started on animation
this is just what i need right now. thank you
Thank you, Kevin. I'm definitely trying these out.
this video is so good, thanks a bunch! Going to start using it for my own projects right away!
I really learn a lot from your channel. Thank you for your generous hardwork.
Thanks a lot Kevin!! , Top most valuable CSS information!! Thanks a lot for sharing!!

Learnt a lot of things. Thanks sir.
This is perfect... exactly what I was hoping to be able to do without JS. CSS really is amazing!
This is the most amazing tutorial I've ever watched. Amazing feature and the way you expalained it made it looks easy. Thank you ❤
that was awsome, exciting to learn and again Kevin ,thank you
Amazing what you can achieve with only CSS these days! Thanks, Kevin
Love it! Great post as usual Kevin!

Thanks alot bro❤
that dont works on firefox... so unable to use it in production. Do you know when FF will add this CSS update ?
Wow I discovered line-height: 1cap and this in one week. Game-changing times. Thanks!
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 🙏🏻
Wow kevin. I just love this . Thank you so much.
You're great Kevin, who would thought now we can use CSS instead of intersecting everything
This video teach me so many new features. AWESOME! Thanks a lot!

I truly appreciate Your css skills. Also, great teaching approach! Thanks for sharing :))
What a time to be alive!
You're the goat Kevin
This is so wonderful kevin!

When you typed @animation I thought there was something new I didn’t know about lol
That's the video what I'm searching for 1 days i sawed it before in somewhere!
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 🥲
You are great person, keep doing, you make people happier
You are making great points that are in-trending Thank you @Kevin
Thank you very much for what you teaching us here.. god bless you
@Kevin great topic choice. 👏 🎉 Love to see this!
Thanks for sharing this! Kevin you are awesome!
you saved us legend
Damn i can watch your work for days haha,
Thanks alot you gave me lots of inspiration from this video
This is so sick
This is so awesome! Great video, thank you!

i love the way you laugh when you teach
that's incredibly useful and powerful! Thanks!
CSS is really evolving, I remember days we had to support IE 6 !
I am confusing. No words. Kevin is the best

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.
Not having the markup for this made it hard to follow along with, otherwise great video.

@@KevinPowell I look forward to more then thanks 👍
I like the grow from the middle I think it is all cool
Is there a repo for this demo you showed us?
Oh Kevin!! You are the boss❤❤.
CSS God @Kevin Powell.
This is awesome, learned a lot. Thank you Kevin.
Why not say up front that it doesn't work with Safari and Firefox?
very cool! Thank you for teaching this!
I was totally at that point "ohh @animations why I miss that exists LOL" you made my day :)
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.
i really dont know if this works out for you better then I expected.. but even tho i am a programmer and like doing it i dont wanna watch a movie on the new css feature.. 30 minutes like this one is really the max for me. Id much prefer a showoff and tutorial split

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