animation-range-end

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The animation-range-end CSS property is used to set the end of an animation's attachment range along its timeline, i.e. where along the timeline an animation will end.

The animation-range-end and animation-range-start properties can also be set using the animation-range shorthand property.

Note: animation-range-end is included in the animation shorthand as a reset-only value. This means that including animation resets a previously-declared animation-range-end value to normal, but a specific value cannot be set via animation. When creating CSS scroll-driven animations, you need to declare animation-range-end after declaring any animation shorthand for it to take effect.

Syntax

css

/* Keyword or length percentage value */
animation-range-end: normal;
animation-range-end: 80%;
animation-range-end: 700px;

/* Named timeline range value */
animation-range-end: cover;
animation-range-end: contain;
animation-range-end: cover 80%;
animation-range-end: contain 700px;

Values

Allowed values for animation-range-end are normal, a <length-percentage>, a <timeline-range-name>, or a <timeline-range-name> with a <length-percentage> following it. See animation-range for a detailed description of the available values.

Also check out the View Timeline Ranges Visualizer, which shows exactly what the different values mean in an easy visual format.

Formal definition

Initial value	`normal`
Applies to	all elements
Inherited	no
Percentages	Relative to the specified named timeline range if specified, otherwise relative to the entire timeline
Computed value	A list where each item may be 'normal', a length percentage, or a timeline range name and a length percentage
Animation type	Not animatable

Formal syntax

animation-range-end = 
  [ normal | <length-percentage> | <timeline-range-name> <length-percentage>? ]#  

<length-percentage> = 
  <length>      |
  <percentage>

Examples

Creating a named view progress timeline with range end

A view progress timeline named --subjectReveal is defined using the view-timeline property on a subject element with a class of animation. This is then set as the timeline for the same element using animation-timeline: --subjectReveal;. The result is that the subject element animates as it moves upwards through the document as it is scrolled.

An animation-range-end declaration is also set to make the animation end earlier than expected.

HTML

The HTML for the example is shown below.

html

<div class="content">
  <h1>Content</h1>

  <p>
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod
    tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Risus quis varius quam
    quisque id. Et ligula ullamcorper malesuada proin libero nunc consequat
    interdum varius. Elit ullamcorper dignissim cras tincidunt lobortis feugiat
    vivamus at augue.
  </p>

  <p>
    Dolor sed viverra ipsum nunc aliquet. Sed sed risus pretium quam vulputate
    dignissim. Tortor aliquam nulla facilisi cras. A erat nam at lectus urna
    duis convallis convallis. Nibh ipsum consequat nisl vel pretium lectus.
    Sagittis aliquam malesuada bibendum arcu vitae elementum. Malesuada bibendum
    arcu vitae elementum curabitur vitae nunc sed velit.
  </p>

  <div class="subject animation"></div>

  <p>
    Adipiscing enim eu turpis egestas pretium aenean pharetra magna ac. Arcu
    cursus vitae congue mauris rhoncus aenean vel. Sit amet cursus sit amet
    dictum. Augue neque gravida in fermentum et. Gravida rutrum quisque non

    quis. Duis ultricies lacus sed turpis tincidunt id aliquet. In egestas erat
    imperdiet sed euismod nisi. Eget egestas purus viverra accumsan in nisl nisi
    scelerisque. Netus et malesuada fames ac.
  </p>
</div>

CSS

The subject element and its containing content element are styled minimally, and the text content is given some basic font settings:

css

.subject {
  width: 300px;
  height: 200px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  background-color: deeppink;
}

.content {
  width: 75%;
  max-width: 800px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

p,
h1 {
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

h1 {
  font-size: 3rem;
}

p {
  font-size: 1.5rem;
  line-height: 1.5;
}

The <div> with the class of subject is also given a class of animation — this is where view-timeline is set to define a named view progress timeline. It is also given an animation-timeline name with the same value to declare that this will be the element animated as the view progress timeline is progressed. We also give it an animation-range-end declaration to make the animation end earlier than expected.

Last, an animation is specified on the element that animates its opacity and scale, causing it to fade in and size up as it moves up the scroller.

css

.animation {
  view-timeline: --subjectReveal block;
  animation-timeline: --subjectReveal;

  animation-name: appear;
  animation-range-end: contain 50%;
  animation-fill-mode: both;
  animation-duration: 1ms; /* Firefox requires this to apply the animation */
}

@keyframes appear {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: scaleX(0);
  }

  to {
    opacity: 1,
    transform: scaleX(1);
  }
}

Result

Scroll to see the subject element being animated.
