Lightweight scroll animations and reveal effects for Elementor, Bricks and any builder. Parallax, blur, clip-path reveals and more — no jQuery.

Peter Joseph K. Roderickson

<p><strong>Hísi Anim</strong> adds smooth, modern <strong>scroll animations</strong> to any WordPress site — without bloat, without jQuery and without writing a single line of code. Pick an effect, and your headings, images, containers and sections animate beautifully as the visitor scrolls.</p>
<p>It is built for page builders: <strong>Elementor</strong> (classic and the new V4 atomic elements) and <strong>Bricks</strong> get native controls baked right into the editor, and <strong>any other builder</strong> — Gutenberg (block editor), Oxygen, Beaver Builder or your own theme — works too by simply adding a CSS class.</p>
<p>Hísi Anim combines two complementary techniques so you get the best of both worlds:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Entrance effects</strong> — scroll-driven animations built on the modern CSS <code>animation-timeline: view()</code>. They progress <em>as you scroll</em>, tying the motion to the reading pace for a premium, high-end feel.</li>
<li><strong>Reveals</strong> — triggered once when the element enters the viewport (IntersectionObserver), perfect for clean, one-shot entrances.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can even combine one Entrance effect with one Reveal on the same element and both play together, elegantly.</p>
<h4>Why Hísi Anim</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Truly lightweight & fast</strong> — pure vanilla JavaScript, no jQuery and no heavy libraries. Supporting browsers load nothing extra.</li>
<li><strong>No code required</strong> — choose effects from a dropdown in Elementor and Bricks; everywhere else, add a class.</li>
<li><strong>See it while you build</strong> — a live preview of the selected animation right inside the editor panel, plus animations that play on the canvas.</li>
<li><strong>Accessible by default</strong> — fully respects the visitor’s <code>prefers-reduced-motion</code> setting.</li>
<li><strong>Works everywhere</strong> — modern CSS where supported, with an automatic polyfill for browsers like Firefox, loaded only when needed.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Animations included</h4>
<p><strong>Entrance effects (scroll-driven):</strong> Blur (vertical, left, right), Scale, Background zoom, Parallax, 3D rotate, Dim to light, Skew and Horizontal drift.</p>
<p><strong>Reveals (on viewport entry):</strong> Blur up, Scale in, 3D tilt, Drift, Line reveal and Clip-path reveals (top, right, bottom, left).</p>
<h4>Native Elementor controls</h4>
<p>A dedicated <strong>Hísi Anim</strong> section is added to every element:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Classic widgets (Editor V3):</strong> under the Advanced tab — entrance effect, reveal and reveal duration.</li>
<li><strong>Atomic elements (Editor V4):</strong> under the General tab — same controls, native to the new atomic widgets.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Native Bricks controls</h4>
<p>A <strong>Hísi Anim</strong> control group on every Bricks element, with its own icon in the Style tab and in the element quick-access bar — entrance effect, reveal and reveal duration.</p>
<h4>Any other builder (Gutenberg, Oxygen, Beaver Builder…)</h4>
<p>Add the classes to the element’s “CSS classes” field:</p>
<ul>
<li>Base class (required): <code>hisi-anim</code></li>
<li>Entrance effects: <code>ha--scrollBlur</code>, <code>ha--scrollBlurLeft</code>, <code>ha--scrollBlurRight</code>, <code>ha--scrollScale</code>, <code>ha--scrollZoom</code>, <code>ha--scrollParallax</code>, <code>ha--scrollRotate</code>, <code>ha--scrollDim</code>, <code>ha--scrollSkew</code>, <code>ha--scrollDriftX</code></li>
<li>Reveals: <code>ha--blurUp</code>, <code>ha--scaleIn</code>, <code>ha--tiltIn</code>, <code>ha--drift</code>, <code>ha--lineReveal</code>, <code>ha--clipPathRight</code>, <code>ha--clipPathLeft</code>, <code>ha--clipPathTop</code>, <code>ha--clipPathBottom</code></li>
<li>Reveal duration: <code>data-anim-time="1.2"</code> attribute</li>
</ul>
<h4>Built for page builders</h4>
<p>The engine detects elements injected dynamically (MutationObserver) and includes robust fallbacks, so animations trigger reliably even when the builder re-renders the page or IntersectionObserver doesn’t fire on first paint.</p>
