Hísi Anim – Scroll Animations for Elementor, Bricks & Gutenberg

Hísi Anim – Scroll Animations for Elementor, Bricks & Gutenberg

Descripción

Hísi Anim adds smooth, modern scroll animations 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.

It is built for page builders: Elementor (classic and the new V4 atomic elements) and Bricks get native controls baked right into the editor, and any other builder — Gutenberg (block editor), Oxygen, Beaver Builder or your own theme — works too by simply adding a CSS class.

Hísi Anim combines two complementary techniques so you get the best of both worlds:

  • Entrance effects — scroll-driven animations built on the modern CSS animation-timeline: view(). They progress as you scroll, tying the motion to the reading pace for a premium, high-end feel.
  • Reveals — triggered once when the element enters the viewport (IntersectionObserver), perfect for clean, one-shot entrances.

You can even combine one Entrance effect with one Reveal on the same element and both play together, elegantly.

Why Hísi Anim

  • Truly lightweight & fast — pure vanilla JavaScript, no jQuery and no heavy libraries. Supporting browsers load nothing extra.
  • No code required — choose effects from a dropdown in Elementor and Bricks; everywhere else, add a class.
  • See it while you build — a live preview of the selected animation right inside the editor panel, plus animations that play on the canvas.
  • Accessible by default — fully respects the visitor’s prefers-reduced-motion setting.
  • Works everywhere — modern CSS where supported, with an automatic polyfill for browsers like Firefox, loaded only when needed.

Animations included

Entrance effects (scroll-driven): Blur (vertical, left, right), Scale, Background zoom, Parallax, 3D rotate, Dim to light, Skew and Horizontal drift.

Reveals (on viewport entry): Blur up, Scale in, 3D tilt, Drift, Line reveal and Clip-path reveals (top, right, bottom, left).

Native Elementor controls

A dedicated Hísi Anim section is added to every element:

  • Classic widgets (Editor V3): under the Advanced tab — entrance effect, reveal and reveal duration.
  • Atomic elements (Editor V4): under the General tab — same controls, native to the new atomic widgets.

Native Bricks controls

A Hísi Anim 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.

Any other builder (Gutenberg, Oxygen, Beaver Builder…)

Add the classes to the element’s “CSS classes” field:

  • Base class (required): hisi-anim
  • Entrance effects: ha--scrollBlur, ha--scrollBlurLeft, ha--scrollBlurRight, ha--scrollScale, ha--scrollZoom, ha--scrollParallax, ha--scrollRotate, ha--scrollDim, ha--scrollSkew, ha--scrollDriftX
  • Reveals: ha--blurUp, ha--scaleIn, ha--tiltIn, ha--drift, ha--lineReveal, ha--clipPathRight, ha--clipPathLeft, ha--clipPathTop, ha--clipPathBottom
  • Reveal duration: data-anim-time="1.2" attribute

Built for page builders

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.

Credits

This plugin bundles the scroll-timeline polyfill by Robert Flack (https://github.com/flackr/scroll-timeline), licensed under the Apache License 2.0, used to support scroll-driven animations in browsers without native animation-timeline support.

Instalación

  1. Upload the hisi-anim folder to /wp-content/plugins/, or install the ZIP from Plugins Add New Upload Plugin.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.
  3. In Elementor or Bricks, open any element and use the Hísi Anim controls. In other builders, add the hisi-anim classes to the element.

Preguntas frecuentes

Does it work with Elementor?

Yes — natively. You get a Hísi Anim section with effect, reveal and duration controls on both classic widgets (Editor V3) and the new atomic elements (Editor V4).

Does it work with Bricks Builder?

Yes — natively. A Hísi Anim control group is added to every Bricks element, with its own icon in the Style tab and the quick-access bar.

Does it work with Gutenberg, Oxygen or Beaver Builder?

Yes. Any builder that lets you add a CSS class to an element is supported: add hisi-anim plus the effect/reveal class to the element.

Does it require jQuery?

No. Hísi Anim is pure, dependency-free JavaScript.

Will it slow down my site?

No. It is intentionally lightweight, uses modern CSS for the heavy lifting, and only loads the compatibility polyfill on browsers that need it.

Can I preview the animation inside the editor?

Yes. The Hísi Anim panel shows a live preview of the selected animation, and effects also play on the editor canvas while you build.

Do animations work in Firefox and Safari?

Yes. Scroll-driven effects use a modern CSS feature; on browsers without native support the plugin automatically loads a polyfill, while supporting browsers download nothing extra.

Is it accessible?

Yes. All animations respect the visitor’s “reduce motion” operating-system preference (prefers-reduced-motion).
