Animation stages

Check out how to apply different animations to your elements on the canvas

There are three different stages of animation that can be applied to each of your elements. These will occur in the following order:

  1. Entrance animation
  2. Emphasis animation
  3. Exit animation

You can also add a pause before the next element starts.

Top tip: Entrance animations are used for most elements. Emphasis and Exit animations are optional and allow you to add more movement to your element
