GSAP Timeline
When to Use This Skill
Apply when building multi-step animations, coordinating several tweens in sequence or parallel, or when the user asks about timelines, sequencing, or keyframe-style animation in GSAP.
Related skills: For single tweens and eases use gsap-core; for scroll-driven timelines use gsap-scrolltrigger; for React use gsap-react.
Creating a Timeline
const tl = gsap.timeline();
tl.to(".a", { x: 100, duration: 1 })
.to(".b", { y: 50, duration: 0.5 })
.to(".c", { opacity: 0, duration: 0.3 });
By default, tweens are appended one after another. Use the position parameter to place tweens at specific times or relative to other tweens.
