To review animation code for craft regressions, you evaluate easing, duration, transform origin, and interruptibility against a high craft bar. This process catches sluggish, physically wrong, or inaccessible UI transitions before they ship to production.

UI transitions feel sluggish or physically wrong when motion design violates easing, duration, or transform origin standards. Reviewing animation code identifies these craft regressions alongside missing interruption behavior and GPU-friendly property usage.

Checking animation code for accessibility flags missing reduced-motion support and ungated hover motion. The review ensures UI transitions comply with accessibility standards by enforcing strict reduced-motion compliance across all component interactions.

Layout thrashing in motion-heavy product code is caused by using non-GPU-friendly properties during UI transitions. Reviewing animation code identifies these performance issues alongside easing and duration craft regressions with precise file-line citations.

You can use an animation review to audit dropdown, toast, and modal component interactions. The review evaluates motion quality, interruptibility, and accessibility compliance for gesture interactions and UI transitions with concise file-line citations.

A motion design review fails to catch inconsistent UI transitions when it lacks strict enforcement of easing, duration, and transform origin standards. Applying a dedicated animation review identifies these craft regressions with precise file-line citations.
