Velocity is a smart animation engine that re-implements jQuery’s $.animate() for significantly greater performance (making Velocity also faster than CSS animation libraries) while including new features to improve workflow.In just 9Kb zipped, Velocity includes all of $.animate()’s features while packing in color animation, transforms, loops, easings, SVG support, and scrolling. Velocity is the best of jQuery, jQuery UI, and CSS transitions combined.

Automagic chaining:

If using the .velocity(...) chained function in libraries such as jQuery or Zepto you need to ensure that Velocity is loaded after them. If you wish to add it to anything loaded afterwards then look at the Velocity.patch() method.

Comparisons

  • CSS transitions are meant for simple interface flourishes.
  • jQuery's $.animate() is slow and poorly-equipped for motion design.
  • Velocity is a fast, feature-rich standalone alternative to jQuery's $.animate().
