Hi!

I'm new to this wonderful plugin and I'm quite a beginner at using custom CSS.
Could someone please describe how I should get started with this plugin? I've tried to find some basic user information, but every guide/tutorial seems to start far away from the basics..

I want to animate a few rows created in Page Builder for one of my pages. When scrolling down, the text and pictures should meet in the middle of the page. I've seen this animation is possible - but HOW do I apply it to my content??

There is a custom CSS space in the plugin - what am I supposed to write there to make the animations apply to my content?
Please bare with my 'silly' basic questions..

All help is welcome! Thank you.

OK, so I found the icon in Visual editor. Tried it out, just choosing animation and replacing the silly text with my own - but it didnt work. Any suggestions?

Dear Oskar,

Thanks a lot for using the Animate It! Plugin.
Adding Animation to any widget is as easy as. Select Animation > Copy code > Paste it in Custom Animation Class and Save
This process is explained step-by-step here: http://www.downloads.eleopard.in/animate-it-documentation-wordpress.html#adding-animations-to-widgets

Note: In your case, while generating the animation, please set Scroll to "Yes". So that the animation will start when user has scrolled to the content which has animation.

In your case, i.e animating the elements at the center of the page. You can set on-scroll percentage to 50%. This setting will start the animations when the use scrolls down to the content and the content is at the center of the screen. You can play a little with on-scroll % in order to get the sweet spot you need.
Setting the on-scroll percentage is also explained step-by-step here: http://www.downloads.eleopard.in/animate-it-documentation-wordpress.html#note

Please feel free to let me know if you have any other queries.

Thank you for the quick reply!

I suddenly understood that my content counts as widgets so that helped. However, my text isn't quite that sort of widgets after all since it isn't listed under the Widgets page? I tried something that actually worked for me:

> copy the requested animation code from the generator > go to Pages > select my target page 'Aktuellt' and open EDIT on every separate part of text/widget in Page Builder > paste the code under 'Widget Attributes'/'Widget Class' when editing that particular text/widget.

Does this make any sense to you? Hard to explain the steps I do when I'm only guessing my way. Is this OK and reliable as a way of animating my content? Seems to work fine so far!
