I'd like to define a class whose CSS3 transition is only applied to the translate3d transform, and not any other transform (rotate, translate, etc). Is this possible? If so, what's the syntax? Something like this:
.animatedMarker {
transition: transform:translate3d 1s linear;
/* transition is only applied to translate3d transformation, so rotate, translate, etc. won't be animated */
}
You can not transition only translate3d, however you can keep the rest unaltered:
transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0) skew(45deg) rotate(23deg);
and on hover
transform: translate3d(100px, 0, 0) skew(45deg) rotate(23deg);

Question: Why does my CPU register ~30% when blur is applied versus ~6% when no blur is applied to an animated object?
Details:
I have a set of randomly generated items on a page that have a CSS animation assigned (in a CSS file) and randomly generated values for width, height, and importantly, blur, applied inline.
CSS file styles looks like:
animation-name: rise;
animation-fill-mode: forwards;
animation-timing-function: linear;
animation-iteration-count: 1;
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
-webkit-perspective: 1000;
-webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
transform: translateZ(0);
width, height and blur are applied inline via style attribute.
<div class="foo" style="width:99px;height:99px;
filter:blur(2px);
-webkit-filter:blur(2px) opacity(0.918866247870028);
-moz-filter:blur(2px) opacity(0.918866247870028);
-o-filter:blur(2px) opacity(0.918866247870028);
-ms-filter:blur(2px) opacity(0.918866247870028);"></div>
With the blur enabled my CPU usage is ~30%. When I disable the blur, CPU usage goes down to ~6%.
What's happening here? Is chrome only able to GPU accelerate when no blur is applied? If so, why?
Update 1:
The animation rise looks as follows:
#keyframes rise {
0% {
transform: translateY(0px);
}
100% {
transform: translateY(-1000px);
}
}
I don’t think the blur is actually causing your issues, it just seems to make it more noticeable than before. The problem is that the transform: translateY in your animation is overwriting the transform: translateZ(0) you’re using to force GPU acceleration.
This is a timeline recording for the the code you’re running right now, notice how there’s all this activity on the main and raster threads:
Now compare this to a recording where I applied will-change: transform to the .foo:
No activity on the main and raster whatsoever.
There’s two steps to applying this fix:
Apply will-change: transform to .foo. This will let the browser know you intend to change that property and have it render that element on the GPU to account for this.
No versions of Edge and IE support will-change at the moment. Therefore we’ll use transform: translate3d(0, -1000px, 0); in the animation to force GPU acceleration. Note this is a hack, so we’ll detect support for will-change and use transform: translateY in browsers that support it.
Final code:
#keyframes rise {
0% {
transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}
100% {
transform: translate3d(0, 1000px, 0);
}
}
#supports (will-change: transform) {
#keyframes rise {
0% {
transform: translateY(0px);
}
100% {
transform: translateY(1000px);
}
}
}
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: #f00;
animation: rise forwards 2s linear infinite;
will-change: transform;
}

Don't blur it in inline styles. Put your blur in the style file.
The rotate animation won't work with translate. I get, that I have to put translate in the same property with the rotate, but how is this possible when using keyframes? Code is like so:
#-webkit-keyframes rotating {
from{
-webkit-transform: rotate(0deg);
}
to{
-webkit-transform: rotate(360deg);
}
}
#keyframes rotating {
from{
transform: rotate(0deg);
}
to{
transform: rotate(360deg);
}
}
img{
-webkit-transform:translate(-50%,-50%);
transform:translate(-50%,-50%);
-webkit-animation: rotating 2s linear infinite;
animation: rotating 2s linear infinite;
position:absolute;
top:50%;
left:50%;
}
This will make the rotation, but it disables the translate. If I put the translate into the rotating animation, the translate is being animated as well(ofcourse).
The 2022+ answer
You can work around this by using individual property transforms which have pretty good browser support.
In short, use the properties like scale, translate, etc. instead of transform.
Side note: You don't need browser-specific properties for anything related to transforms or animations these days.
The original 2014 answer
The issue is that the transform in the animation is overriding the default transform:translate. In this case, you can combine them in the animation itself but it has to be hard coded.
#keyframes rotating {
from {
transform: translate(-50%,-50%) rotate(0deg);
}
to {
transform: translate(-50%,-50%) rotate(360deg);
}
}
If you need it to be dynamic, you can nest it in an element and animate one while not affecting the other - most likely translate the parent and rotate the child.
If you absolutely cannot have more than one element, you can affect the transform matrix for the element using JavaScript, in which case using an animation library like GSAP would be advantageous.
I am trying to have an element scale up from 0 on page load, but that element needs to be rotated. Seems like a simple thing, but it seems to apply the rotation after the animation finishes:
#-webkit-keyframes scale{
0%{-webkit-transform: scale(0);}
100%{-webkit-transform: scale(1);}
}
div{
-webkit-transform: rotate(30deg);
-webkit-animation: scale 2s;
}

You need to use the transform shorthand within the #keyframes rule, as your rotate() function is outside the rule and thus not animating like you expected.

I want to use a transform for both scale and translateX, but each with a different timing function. Currently I have it working with absolute positioning instead of translateX, as follows:
transition: transform 500ms cubic-bezier(0.390, -0.600, 1.000, -0.600),
left 500ms cubic-bezier(0.270, 0.875, 0.575, 0.870);
.
left: -50px ;
transform: scale(2,2) ;
How would you rewrite this to achieve the same, but use translateX instead of left ?
In this case, I would probably use a wrapper and transition one of the two transforms for the wrapper and the other one for the element itself.
demo
HTML:
<div class='wrap'>
<div class='el'></div>
</div>
Relevant CSS:
.wrap {
transition: transform .5s cubic-bezier(.39, -.6, 1, -.6);
}
.el {
transition: transform .5s cubic-bezier(.27, .875, .575, .87);
}
.wrap:hover { transform: scale(2,2); }
.wrap:hover .el { transform: translateX(-50px); }
Not sure it's a better idea than simulating a translateX by using left.
Another idea would be not to use a transition, but an animation and set the keyframes such that to obtain the desired effect.
What I am looking to do is change the translate3d transform of an element while a css3 animation is running on the element. When I try to do this, however, it seems that the animation resets the transform every time right before updating the animation such that the translation is always (0,0,0). I wish to have the animation running and still be able to translate it with javascript such as:
element.style.webkitTransform='translate3d(100px, 30px, 0px)';
I know it would be possible by using a second containing div to set the translation on while the inner div runs the animation, but I would like to be able to just use one div if possible. Do you know how to achieve this?
This is my css as it stands:
.class{
width:32px;
height:32px;
position:absolute;
background: transparent url('./img/sprite.png');
background-size:100%;
-webkit-transform: translate3d(48px, 176px, 0px);
-webkit-transition-property: -webkit-transform;
-webkit-transition-duration: 100ms;
-webkit-animation:spin .75s infinite linear;
}
#-webkit-keyframes spin {
0% { -webkit-transform:rotate(0deg); }
100% { -webkit-transform:rotate(360deg); }
}
You can concatenate several transformation functions with a space:
-webkit-transform: translate3d(48px, 176px, 0px) rotateY(30deg) rotateX(10deg);
