Tips for Best Results

Combine with Content

Motion elements work best when layered beneath other content. Adjust opacity to ensure text and images remain readable.

Performance Considerations

  • Motion elements are GPU-accelerated and optimized for performance

  • On mobile devices, some effects may be simplified automatically

  • For pages with multiple Motion elements, test performance across devices

Customize Properties

Every Motion element offers unique Properties to adjust. Experiment with these settings to:

  • Match your brand colors

  • Control animation speed and intensity

  • Enable or disable mouse interactivity

  • Adjust visual complexity

Background Styling

Each Motion element also supports editable properties for the background, allowing you to add additional colors or gradients behind the effect.
