Motion upgrades timelines with springs, callbacks
Motion’s Timelines 2.0 adds hardware-accelerated playback, spring-based sequencing, nested and mutable timelines, relative labels, progress callbacks, and play-to-label controls. The update makes Motion’s hybrid animate() API more capable for complex, interactive web animation workflows.
This is a substantial upgrade to Motion’s timeline model, shifting it from convenient sequencing toward a more programmable animation runtime.
- –Hardware acceleration can keep supported animations smooth while the JavaScript thread is busy.
- –Spring segments bring physics-based motion into coordinated multi-step timelines.
- –Nested, addable, movable, and removable sequences make dynamic timeline composition far more practical.
- –Direction-aware and progress callbacks enable reversible state changes, scrubbing, and synchronized application logic.
- –Relative labels and play-to-label controls reduce the timeline bookkeeping that often makes complex animation code brittle.
