Core Concepts
Animation Timeline
Canonical Definition
A chronological visual editor where keyframes, easings, and sequencing tracks are arranged across time to orchestrate multi-layer motion sequences.
Detailed Explanation & Context
An animation timeline is the visual interface paradigm used to author timed motion across multiple visual layers. In ExodeUI, the timeline editor is harmonized with spring physics: creators can sequence stagger delays and choreography while allowing individual properties to resolve through physical spring mathematics rather than rigid keyframe interpolation.
Mathematical Model / Governing Formula
Timeline = Track Stagger + Property Keyframes + Physics SpringsKey Takeaways
- Enables precise multi-element choreography and entrance orchestration.
- Integrates with spring solvers so keyframes don’t lock velocity.
- Timeline tools differ in output: video, Lottie JSON, CSS or a runtime file.
Implementation Syntax (JSX)
// Sequenced stagger across 4 cards
cards.map((card, i) => <Card key={i} delay={i * 40} />)Related Glossary Terms
