SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating multiple animations across elements can be error-prone when using isolated tweens; GSAP timelines provide a unified way to sequence, nest, and control playback.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Creating Timelines: Use gsap.timeline() to build multi-step animations that run in sequence or in parallel.
  • Position Parameter & Nesting: Use the position parameter to place tweens relative to others and nest timelines for complex choreography.
  • Playback & Controls: Start, pause, reverse, or seek timelines with simple APIs; apply defaults and labels for readable sequencing.
  • Best Practices: Follow guidelines for labels, defaults, and avoiding mixing timeline-controlled content with standalone tweens.

Quick Start

Create a timeline with gsap.timeline() and chain multiple tweens to run in sequence.

FAQPage Schema
How do I sequence multiple GSAP animations together?

To sequence GSAP animations, use gsap.timeline() to build a unified timeline. This lets you chain tweens to run in sequence or in parallel, coordinating multiple elements within a single controlled structure.

What is the position parameter in a GSAP timeline?

The position parameter in a GSAP timeline controls when a tween starts. You use it to place tweens relative to other animations, ensuring precise choreography and overlapping effects across your web project.

Can I nest timelines within other GSAP timelines?

Yes, you can nest timelines within other GSAP timelines. Nesting allows you to modularize complex animation choreography, creating reusable sub-timelines that integrate seamlessly into a parent timeline for cohesive playback.

How do I control playback of a GSAP timeline?

You control GSAP timeline playback using simple APIs to start, pause, reverse, or seek. You can also apply defaults and use labels for readable sequencing, ensuring repeatable and controlled animation execution.

When should I use GSAP timelines instead of standalone tweens?

Use GSAP timelines when coordinating multiple animations, as isolated tweens are error-prone. Best practices dictate avoiding mixing timeline-controlled content with standalone tweens to maintain unified sequencing and predictable playback.
