Animations

H5mag features an easy to use animation system.

How to add an animation

  1. Click the element you want to animate.
  2. Click the animation halo-button 
  3. Select the animation type you want
  4. Optional: you can customize the duration, and delay of the animation. You can also choose to animate the element at the same time with the previous element or after a previous element's animation is done. There is also an option to start the animation after a feedback form has been submitted.

Animation clipping

*) The Dispense and Wipe animations use clipping to create these effects. Please keep this in mind when using these animation types, as content that sticks out of an animating section will not be visible during or after animations
