Join Val Head for an in-depth discussion in this video Helpful online tools for animations, part of CSS: Animation.
- The web design community is full of helpful people…and because of that, we've got a lot of great online tools…to help you create CSS animation.…We've touched on some of these tools throughout the course…and now, here's a list of some I find most useful.…For custom easing ideas, cubic-bezier.com…and easings.net have you covered.…cubic-bezier.com lets you edit…and preview your own cubic-bezier functions.…We can even edit them right here, like we've seen before,…and you can compare them to existing curves as well.…easings.net lets you preview a number…of commonly used easing equations,…including the Penner easing equations…and it gives you a way to easily copy them all…into CSS, SCSS, which is Sass, or JavaScript.…
To make your own complex animations, using matrix transforms…have a look at Bounce.js.…This online editor has presets for you to combine…or you can create your own custom effects…and it will output the CSS keyframe animations…for any effects you create.…I've mentioned Sass, the CSS preprocessor,…a few times in this course.…
