Exits faster than entrances

When to use

Use when anything enters and later leaves, which is every beat. In: 0.55 s, arrives fast and lands soft (EASE.land). Out: 0.22 s, accelerates, and travels less than half the entrance distance. The exit keyframe has no from: a from would fill backwards over the entrance and hide it. Clip: exit-fast.mp4. Demo: demo/exit-fast.html.

The code

h1 { animation-name: land, leave; animation-duration: 0.55s, 0.22s;
     animation-delay: var(--beat-1), var(--beat-1-out);
     animation-timing-function: var(--settle), var(--accelerate); animation-fill-mode: both, both; }
@keyframes land { from { translate: 0 12vh; opacity: 0; } to { translate: 0 0; opacity: 1; } }
@keyframes leave { to { translate: 0 -5vh; opacity: 0; } }

Easing and timing

The clip runs 1 s. The look is paper.

The clip uses 2 named eases from core/motion/presets.js. Each is a pair of After Effects handles: influence is how far along the segment the handle reaches, and speed is how fast the value moves at the key, as a multiple of the segment's average speed. Motion in the docs explains both.

Notes

<style>:root { --beat-1: 0.05s; --beat-1-out: 0.72s; }</style>
<h1>in, then out</h1>
<script type="module">
import { EASE } from '../../core/motion/presets.js';
const root = document.documentElement.style;
root.setProperty('--settle', EASE.land);
root.setProperty('--accelerate', EASE.launch);
</script>

Name the beat once (--beat-1, --beat-1-out) and read it from every delay in that beat, so one edit moves the whole beat. Declare the empty frames after the exit in <meta name="blank">.

Looks (ground, type, radius, accent) live in demo/demo.css; this snippet keeps neutral tokens.

Sound

Sound: none; the entrance carries the beat's cue, and an exit is never scored.
