kinetichub

KineticHub is a lightweight suite of animated Gutenberg blocks for designers, agencies, developers, and site builders who want to add motion, media, and interactive UI effects to WordPress pages without leaving the block editor.
The plugin includes visual blocks for animated typography, video modals, audio players, before-and-after image comparisons, marquees, interactive buttons, hero backgrounds, scroll dividers, split scroll layouts, cursor reveal lists, ambient visuals, and motion-ready containers.
KineticHub is designed for modern WordPress workflows. Blocks can be inserted, configured, and reused directly inside the editor, while frontend assets are loaded through WordPress block asset registration.
Use KineticHub to build:
<ul>
<li>Animated landing page sections</li>
<li>Portfolio and agency pages</li>
<li>Interactive hero areas</li>
<li>Product and service highlights</li>
<li>Editorial layouts with motion</li>
<li>Media-rich Gutenberg pages</li>
<li>Lightweight visual effects without a page builder dependency</li>
</ul>

<h4>Performance Focused</h4>
KineticHub is designed to avoid unnecessary page weight and unnecessary frontend execution.
<ul>
<li>Block assets are loaded through WordPress block asset registration.</li>
<li>Shared runtime behavior is handled by lightweight frontend assets.</li>
<li>Video embeds are initialized lazily after user interaction where supported by the block setup.</li>
<li>Motion-heavy effects respect reduced-motion preferences.</li>
<li>Global motion settings can be configured from the KineticHub dashboard.</li>
<li>Blocks are designed to work with modern WordPress themes and performance optimization tools.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Accessibility</h4>
KineticHub includes accessibility-oriented behavior across supported blocks.
<ul>
<li>Reduced-motion support for users who prefer less animation.</li>
<li>Keyboard focus handling where interactive controls are used.</li>
<li>Screen-reader friendly fallback text for animated typography.</li>
<li>ARIA labels for video modal controls.</li>
<li>Semantic output and escaped server-side rendering.</li>
<li>Interactive blocks are designed to remain usable without relying only on motion.</li>
</ul>
<h4>External Services</h4>
The plugin does not connect to external services on activation.
Some blocks may load third-party media only when a site administrator configures content that uses those providers. For example, the Kinetic Video Modal block can embed videos from YouTube or Vimeo when a YouTube or Vimeo URL is entered by the site administrator.
Third-party services may receive visitor data when embedded media is loaded by the browser. This depends on the configured media URL, the provider used, and the visitor’s browser behavior.
Supported optional video providers include:
<ul>
<li>YouTube</li>
<li>YouTube NoCookie</li>
<li>Vimeo</li>
</ul>
Self-hosted media files can also be used.
Provider endpoints that may be used when configured by the site administrator:
<ul>
<li>YouTube video embeds: https://www.youtube.com/</li>
<li>YouTube privacy-enhanced embeds: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/</li>
<li>YouTube thumbnail images: https://img.youtube.com/</li>
<li>Vimeo video embeds: https://player.vimeo.com/</li>
</ul>
Provider policies:
<ul>
<li>YouTube Terms of Service: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms</li>
<li>YouTube Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</li>
<li>Vimeo Terms of Service: https://vimeo.com/terms</li>
<li>Vimeo Privacy Policy: https://vimeo.com/privacy</li>
</ul>

KineticHub – Animated Gutenberg Blocks

Animated Gutenberg blocks for motion, media, typography, buttons, marquees, dividers, and interactive page sections.

WPXERO

ExtenderX adds Gutenberg block animations and scroll effects to every block in the Block Editor — core WordPress blocks and third-party block libraries alike. No replacement blocks. No shortcodes. Open the block sidebar, pick an animation preset, and publish.
Animate blocks on scroll with entrance animations, add continuous floating motion, apply 3D tilt on hover, control device visibility, add tooltips, and wrap blocks with wrapper links — all from a single ExtenderX panel inside Gutenberg.
<h3>Why Use ExtenderX for Block Animations?</h3>
Most animation plugins only work with their own blocks. ExtenderX extends the blocks you already use — including Kadence Blocks, Spectra, Stackable, Essential Blocks, Ultimate Blocks, Ghostkit, Greenshift, Otter Blocks, and more.
<ul>
<li>6 animation & interaction types in one block sidebar panel</li>
<li>Scroll-triggered entrance animations with duration, delay, and easing controls</li>
<li>No coding required — configure everything visually in the editor</li>
<li>Conditional asset loading — animation scripts load only when a block uses them</li>
<li>Works with any theme — no page builder lock-in</li>
</ul>
Ready for advanced motion? <a href="https://wpxero.com/plugins/extenderx/pricing" rel="nofollow ugc">Upgrade to Pro</a> for parallax, custom CSS/JS per block, seasonal effects, and marketing tools.
<h3>How Block Animations Work</h3>
<ol>
<li>Activate ExtenderX and enable Gutenberg Block Extensions from the dashboard.</li>
<li>Edit any page or post in the Block Editor.</li>
<li>Select a block and open the right sidebar.</li>
<li>Open the ExtenderX panel and choose entrance, floating, tilt, visibility, tooltip, or wrapper link settings.</li>
</ol>
Your animations appear on the frontend immediately after publishing.
<h3>Gutenberg Block Animations (Free)</h3>
✅ Entrance Animations (Scroll Effects) 
Make blocks animate on scroll with fade in, slide up, zoom in, flip, bounce, and more. Customize duration, delay, and easing. Animations trigger when blocks enter the viewport — perfect for landing pages, portfolios, and storytelling layouts.
✅ Floating Animations 
Add subtle, continuous floating motion to any block. Ideal for hero sections, testimonials, and promotional banners. 
Note: Floating animations do not run simultaneously with Entrance or Tilt on the same block.
✅ 3D Tilt Effect 
Blocks respond to cursor movement with GPU-accelerated 3D tilt powered by VanillaTilt.js. Great for cards, images, pricing tables, and portfolio items.
✅ Responsive Visibility Control 
Show or hide any block on desktop, tablet, or mobile independently using clean CSS — no duplicate content required.
✅ Tooltips 
Add hover tooltips to any Gutenberg block powered by Tippy.js for accessible, smooth rendering.
✅ Wrapper Links 
Turn any Gutenberg block into a clickable link — wrap images, groups, columns, and cards with a custom URL.

UI Enhancements — back to top, sticky header, sticky footer, scroll progress bar, smooth scrolling, scrollspy, hide admin bar.
Enable only what you need. Each feature loads conditionally.
