Animation Creator generates production-ready motion code across the major animation ecosystems used in modern web and app development.
CSS Animations
Generates `@keyframes` with proper easing functions (cubic-bezier curves for natural motion), animation-fill-mode, and prefers-reduced-motion media query overrides. Includes shimmer effects for skeleton loaders, pulse animations for status indicators, and spin animations for loading states.
Framer Motion
Creates `motion` component variants with `initial`, `animate`, `exit`, and `transition` props. Generates `AnimatePresence` wrappers for mount/unmount transitions. Stagger children animations with `staggerChildren` for list entrances. `useScroll` and `useTransform` for parallax effects.
GSAP Timelines
Builds `gsap.timeline()` sequences with `from`, `to`, `fromTo`, and `set` tweens. ScrollTrigger integration for pinning, scrubbing, and batch animations. Proper cleanup with `ctx.revert()` for React component teardown.
Lottie
Generates Lottie JSON structure for simple icon animations (checkmarks, loading arcs, toggles). Integrates with lottie-react or lottie-web player.
Performance Guidance
All animations prefer `transform` and `opacity` properties that run on the compositor thread. Warns when animating layout-triggering properties like `width`, `height`, or `top`.
Use Cases
- Generating Framer Motion page transition and element entrance animations
- Creating CSS keyframe animations for loading spinners and skeleton screens
- Building GSAP ScrollTrigger timelines for scroll-driven storytelling
- Writing Lottie JSON animation data for icon micro-interactions
Pros & Cons
Pros
- +Covers CSS, Framer Motion, GSAP, and Lottie in one skill
- +All generated animations include prefers-reduced-motion alternatives
- +Performance guidance prevents accidental layout-thrashing animations
- +GSAP timeline sequences are precisely timed with overlap control
Cons
- -GSAP ScrollTrigger integration requires manual DOM ref wiring in React
- -Lottie JSON generation is limited to simple shapes; complex artwork needs After Effects
