Lyniven44536yA lot of super heavy animation are beautiful but useless and take too much time to create and load.. not to mention a lot of ppl are just confused seeing complex animation
-
For my last website, the dude gave me a neat preloader.
Problem: It is full screen.
He would never leave away or change the animation. It looks damn sexy tbh.
So although I complained and wanted an svg animation, he gave me gif file. Okay, fine. I inserted it and in the end the dude complained that it didn't run smoothly in his browser [only runs smooth in chrome - if your internet is fast enough].
I told him that I needed another animation type (svg, css too difficult!) and now I'm at least waiting for a mp4 and I hope that it runs more smoothly -
musician6656yFyi you can export animations as svg from after effects with a plugin called bodymotion(I think). They seem pretty performant and small from what Ive seen. Maybe worth checking it out

Designer - *showing an animation made with after effects* Lets add this really cool animation in our website
Me - Actually that will be very difficult with plain CSS. We will have to use some heavy animation libraries, and we don’t have that much time for the project.

Designer - Found a better animation
*shows another animation*
Me - *awkwardly* This is more difficult to implement than the previous one
*next day*
Designer - What about this one
