MotionCraft Scroll Animations

Kuvaus

MotionCraft Scroll Animations adds smooth, scroll-triggered animations to any WordPress site. Apply animations with CSS classes, data attributes, or the Gutenberg block editor sidebar.

Built for performance and flexibility, the plugin uses lightweight animation techniques and Anime.js to create modern motion effects without slowing down your website.

Features

  • 6 built-in animation presets (fade, slide, zoom)
  • Gutenberg block editor integration with sidebar controls
  • Works with Elementor via CSS classes in the Advanced tab
  • Stagger animations for lists and grids
  • Timeline groups for sequenced animations
  • Custom animation builder (JSON-based)
  • Conditional loading and mobile disable options
  • Respects prefers-reduced-motion
  • Developer hooks and filters for extending functionality
  • Lightweight and performance-focused architecture

Usage

Add a CSS class to any element:

anime-fade-up

Or use a data attribute:

data-anime="fade-up"

The animation triggers automatically when the element scrolls into view.

{ "slide-rotate": { "opacity": 0, "translateX": -60, "rotate": -15 } }
