Hi, I have a SVG text and I'd like to animate it as though someone was writing it. I know it'd be easier with paths elements but I have it as tspans instead. I have tried using drawSVG but it seems that only works with paths. Any help is totally appreciated. The SVG code: <g id="Group_80" data-name="Group 80" transform="translate(-649.918 -257.351)"> <g id="Brand" transform="translate(652.062 329.976)"> <text id="Check_me_out_and_see" data-name="Check me out and see" transform="matrix(0.985, -0.174, 0.174, 0.985, 0, 88.908)" stroke="#000" strokeWidth="1" fontSize="65" fontFamily="Satisfy-Regular, Satisfy" > <tspan x="0" y="61" ref={bstext}> Check me{' '} </tspan> <tspan x="0" y="155"> out and{' '} </tspan> <tspan x="0" y="249"> see </tspan> </text> </g> A screenshot: Thanks

Hello All, I am looking for the same text hover effect like below link. https://www.artistsweb.com/?fbclid=IwAR1ZFgHylvcRXuiqxcfiLOykfnX7VyQv4CssztG0TbkdW1RlxEWcZ1bMkXE Please help me out.

I’m trying to reproduce an effect i saw on this website : https://stuart.com/delivery-express-courier/ Just after the section with this title : Eco-friendly courier service, go green with us You can see the result on the temp website: https://swoopin.webflow.io/ There is 3 sections, and on the scroll, the image on the left stay fixed then fade to each other, while the text on the right continue to scroll normally I started workin on it, i got essential but it's buggy How could i fix that ? <script> gsap.to('#IMAGE-ELEMENT', { scrollTrigger: { trigger: '#IMAGE-ELEMENT', start: 'top top', pinReparent: true, pin: '#IMAGE-ELEMENT', endTrigger: '#LAST-SCROLLABLE-CONTENT', end: 'top top', } }); gsap.to('#CONTENT-ELEMENT-2', { scrollTrigger: { trigger: '#CONTENT-ELEMENT-2', start: 'top center', onEnter: () => { var imageUrl = 'https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5f369e90e946a4c5add5fc1a/5f3d850c8947f9d2f61724d0_shutterstock_447317020.png'; $('#IMAGE-ELEMENT') .fadeOut(10) .delay(10) .queue(function (next) { $(this).css("background-image", "url(" + imageUrl + ")"); next(); }) .fadeIn(); console.log(1); }, onEnterBack: () => { var imageUrl = 'https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5f369e90e946a4c5add5fc1a/5f3d850c8947f9d2f61724d0_shutterstock_447317020.png'; $('#IMAGE-ELEMENT') .fadeOut(10) .delay(10) .queue(function (next) { $(this).css("background-image", "url(" + imageUrl + ")"); next(); }) .fadeIn(); console.log(2); } } }); gsap.to('#LAST-SCROLLABLE-CONTENT', { scrollTrigger: { trigger: '#LAST-SCROLLABLE-CONTENT', start: 'top center', onEnter: () => { var imageUrl = 'https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5f369e90e946a4c5add5fc1a/5f3fde6487584b24a32bac96_shutterstock_254033086-901x644.jpg'; $('#IMAGE-ELEMENT') .fadeOut(10) .delay(10) .queue(function (next) { $(this).css("background-image", "url(" + imageUrl + ")"); next(); }) .fadeIn(); console.log(3); }, onEnterBack: () => { var imageUrl = 'https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5f369e90e946a4c5add5fc1a/5f3fde6487584b24a32bac96_shutterstock_254033086-901x644.jpg'; $('#IMAGE-ELEMENT') .fadeOut(10) .delay(10) .queue(function (next) { $(this).css("background-image", "url(" + imageUrl + ")"); next(); }) .fadeIn(); console.log(4); } } }); gsap.to('#CONTENT-ELEMENT-1', { scrollTrigger: { trigger: '#CONTENT-ELEMENT-1', start: 'top center', /* onEnter: () => { var imageUrl = 'https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5f369e90e946a4c5add5fc1a/5f3d850c2c39379303de0a17_camion%20poster.png'; $('#IMAGE-ELEMENT') .fadeOut(10) .delay(10) .queue(function (next) { $(this).css("background-image", "url(" + imageUrl + ")"); next(); }) .fadeIn(); console.log(5); }, */ onEnterBack: () => { var imageUrl = 'https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5f369e90e946a4c5add5fc1a/5f3d850c2c39379303de0a17_camion%20poster.png'; $('#IMAGE-ELEMENT') .fadeOut(10) .delay(10) .queue(function (next) { $(this).css("background-image", "url(" + imageUrl + ")"); next(); }) .fadeIn(); console.log(6); } } }); </script> Thank you !

Hi, I am new in GSAP, I want to create a section where text will change by animate along with background image. Please check link below and go to section which is in screenshot. You can check this section after visit on link below. Thanks in Advance! https://www.nicolenero.com/

I'm animating some text on a path back and forth, quite a simple animation but occasionally the type keeps jumping and glitching. If you watch the demo on codepen you'll see some letters, quite randomly and sporadically jump or flip over. You might have to watch it a few times as some times it happens more than others – I can't seem to figure out why it's happening or find a fix, any ideas or help on this would be massively appreciated!

i think i have to do something similar like this(Looped "scrolling" section) or this this(the red panel animation) to achieve the background effect. i dont know how to implement though can you guys help? check out this video i am talking about this

Hello everyone, I'm facing problem in creating this effect in horizontal scroll. https://codepen.io/eighthday/pen/MKqBjX I want to create this same effect for my page reveal but I want my sections to scroll horizontally and then my whole website will be vertical. I tried by changing the "top" with "left" in js but it didn't work as expected. The problem might be in my approach with horizontal scroll as xPercent is transforming whole section and I can't fix the position of start logo. This is what I did. https://codepen.io/aniketbamotra/pen/wvJrNjr PS. I'm new to web development and this is my first time using gsap so help me with this. Thanks in advance

Hi everyone. I'm attempting to animate a block of text from straight horizontal line to an arc that would be a part of a circle. Here is the design that I have in mind: At first, I tried to use sine, cosine to calculate the horizontal and vertical distance that each character has to move to reach the arc. The problem with this approach is that I have to set `position: absolute` to each character. As a result, my attempt looks nothing like what I have in mind, with each character radiates from the center point of the imaginary circle instead of organically moving from horizontal line to the arc. So I'm rethinking: Maybe I should scratch that and try to animate a straight line to a Bezier curve using SVG, then place the characters on the curve to make them look like they are waving from straight line to curve. What do you think? Any pointer would be highly appreciated.

Hey guys, I have a problem and I can't find a solution on the TextPlugin documentation. I have this section that is going to have text (the text is coming from a WYSIWYG so it's going to have a lot of HTML tags) and I need to create like a typewriting effect, the text is going to start from the bottom and is going to go up. I added a video so you can see the effect I'm looking for, the problem is that on the video it doesn't show that, but I need to animate individual characters. I was testing the plugin but I don't see a lot of properties that I can use to create this effect, so is it possible to do it with this plugin? Or should I be using something else? I added two examples on the codepen, on one I get the animation but only for the lines, no the characters. And on the second example I only get the last line animated, can't make to other text to appear Screen Recording 2021-06-29 at 18.22.21.mov

Hi! Here is a problem. This block moves down because text has 30% width and it has two lines. But script loads faster than text goes on the second line and the block moves down. I can't use <br/> because on mobile it will be other. How to fix it?

Hi all! I've found that empty strings are replaced by an unwanted "0" when using `set`. Is there any easy way to avoid that? I know that sometimes is desirable but in some other situations I just need an empty string. Also, I've realized that an "=" sign on the second position of the string produces a "NaN" in the output. I've found that using a list with only one string element solves this issue. Is there any other way of solving this? Thanks!!

Hi everyone, I’m discovering GreenSock animation framework, seems pretty powerful. But I’m struggling reproducing the following text animation (that maybe some of you will find basic?) : https://www.buildinamsterdam.com (by animation, I'm speaking about the very first text animation on black screen where text appears from the bottom by words, then disappears on the left by chars, then black background disappears by collapsing into 3 vertical bands) Before asking for your help, I've done my research on the forum and I discovered the need to use SplitText add-on. I've set up a first approach on this pen : For the exit animation, how do I handle the "overflow hidden" wrapping of all chars to make them disappear when they move left ? How should I start for the 3 vertical bands reveal animation ? Thanks for your kind help, very much appreciated

How to achieve the effect of text appearing at the top of the container? The text comes out more and more as you scroll, it is fixed but only visible in the given container.

I am trying to replace a jQuery plugin called "li-scroller" which combines the <li> tags from an unstructured list and scrolls the items inside a div one after another from left to right indefinately. Unfortunately the plugin distorts the letters slightly as the speed increases and I was hoping that Greensock would produce a more fluid result. Since I am new to Greensock, I am not sure which approach to take to accomplish this. Is Split Text necessary or would a method using Split Text produce smoother results than the alternative? Any guidance or examples to help get me started is appreciated. When I get something to work, I will post it to CodePen. Below is a list of some of the features I am trying to incorporate: Start at right of div, fade in letters and scroll from left to right. At left of div, letters fade out of display. First list item starts right after last list item without break in list. List repeats indefinately. Mouseover list causes the list scroll to pause. Seems simple enough but I have no clue how to tackle this. Thanks, James

Hi, This is my first time posting in the forum! I searched everywhere but could not find the answer so here goes. I want to animate a line of text on a motion path. At the moment it is not working as the characters all end up on top of each other. I think it has to do with the start/end within the path that's being set but I do not know how to add code to address this. (FYI my end goal is to animate the three lines of text on three different motion paths perhaps using the class for each line. Any help would be appreciated.)

Hi, I'm wondering how I can create a text mask animation. Actually, I don't know if it's possible to create something like this without SVG. Here's a preview of what I'd like to make : https://ibb.co/C50cJ4b I would like to animate the mask (that is black in the picture). I saw this post in the forum, but actually I'm a beginner and I don't know how to create what I want. Thanks a lot ! Laurie

Hey guys, I need a little help with splitText weird behaviour. Every single time i visit the staging site, splitText split lines wrongly. I have to refresh and then everything looks, ok. Same thing when i resize the browser the text is not wrapping automatically like it should. Do you have any ideas of what might be wrong? I use intersectionObserver to detect the item in viewport and then triggering the TweenMax function. Thank you very much

Hello, I'm trying to update this @Shaun Gorneau Codepen. First of all I would appreciate some help moving the code from jQuery to plain JavaScript. I'm stucked On the other hand I'm experimenting with this pen trying working with a font-size relative to the window width (example: font-size: 8vw;). Obviously, on window resize it messes up all the programming because it changes the object width. Anyone has a better idea than refreshing the page on window resize with a classy: window.onresize = function(){ location.reload(); } Thanks in advance,

Working on a project whereby a little creativity is called for. I have attached a zip file that contains the results of running forced alignment on a transcript using gentle that aligns an audio file to its transcript. I am looking for a way to "animate" the text as the speech is spoken in order to maximise the focus on the text being spoken as it is spoken. If someone looks away and comes back to it - they should be straight in. It is kind of like subtitles but for audio - except I want it to be as creative as possible. I originally had in mind - simply fading the text in and out whilst scrolling see the links to the examples I have tried out. Please also bear in mind that the actual audio may be over an hour long, so the animation needs to take into account the stream effect of keeping only the current text in focus (related to what is being spoken at the playhead). Any text that is not within 20-25 words of the word being spoken is not really relevant - unless it is and I'm not seeing it. Furthermore there are certain words that the forced-aligner does not pick up and marks them as <unk> - in the example "specialise" is an unknown word because it is spelt wrong. It is an American speaking so it should be spelt with a 'z'. However - there should still be a start and end number for the timeline. { "alignedWord": "<unk>", "case": "success", "end": 16.19, "endOffset": 301, "phones": [ { "duration": 0.69, "phone": "oov_S" } ], "start": 15.5, "startOffset": 291, "word": "specialise" }, http://jsfiddle.net/wuj6xqpz/18/ https://codesandbox.io/s/fervent-villani-vbero https://codepen.io/rustyleaf/pen/oNNwZpB 314a0bf1.zip

Hello everyone, how can I animate with GSAP a gradient text using the css code below? Or some other way. background: linear-gradient(to right,#3b1c52 50%,#b51a84 80%); -webkit-background-clip: text; -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;

Hi, i'm trying to replicate the animations of the texts of this site: https://designcanada.com/ For example, how can i replicate the animation of "Stuart Ash" or "Canada's heritage of graphic design" ? It's seem that there is a mask over all. is there a particular function in GSAP? Now i only use a motion like this TitoloSezione1Tl.from($TitoloSezione1, 0.5, {x:100, delay:1, opacity:0, ease:Power1.easeOut}); Thank you all Paolo

Is there a way to use the GSAP TextPlugin to animate SVG Text so that different words within one text element have different colors?

I'm having an issue with text shifting/resizing in Google Chrome. This seems to happen while the parent div is being animated. If you look at the Codepen example, you'll see the text snap to different sizes, and it also looks like it tries to change weights as well. The other thing I've noticed is that the parent container also shifts with the text. I've read other answers about this, but anything I've tried doesn't work. Does anyone have insight on this issue?

I'm working on a lightweight text slider for use on WordPress sites. The slider's context appears to be an issue: on some sites, contained within a widget, the animation works perfectly. On others, using a different WP theme, when the animation runs, the "slides" do slide, but instead of sliding out of view, they just slide to the far right side of the screen, underneath the other content. The "offscreen" slides remain partially visible under that content. I am pretty sure this is concerned with the distance the "slides" move, which I'll admit I don't fully understand. The basic code was forked off of another similar pen, I think, but a long time ago. The basic issue here is that the available plugs for basic WP animation are beasts: tons and tons of code, enough to slow page loading times by many seconds. TweenLIte, of course, is extremely lightweight. I'd be grateful if someone could explain the movement pieces of this TweenLite animation, so that I could figure out where the "offscreen" slides need to "go" to remain invisible.

Guys, I don't understand this, using this simple splitText action inside a function, works fine on codepen but locally getting in browser console: TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'a.length') Any ideas? Set up is code in a local .js file correctly linked and working with other animations and html elements in index.html exactly as codepen example. 2 a.m. here so that might have something to do with it, not normally this dense...
