I would like to request new feature: animate on scroll.
This is not basic “Intro & Outro” animation.
Check this video out to see what I mean:

Interesting stuff. If that’s at all possible without slowing the page speed/score down (the speed is why I switched to Bricks in the first place) it’d be great. But I fear that the more of those pretty features gets added, the slower those pages will be.
However, the decision should remain up to the designer if he wants to insert these effects at the cost of speed. He can also not insert them. The scripts should then also not be loaded.

It is very possible nowadays to load CSS/JS only if needed.
It can be done whether through PHP, or through JavaScript
I agree with this effect. Divi and Elementor have this. Hope Bricks will add this too.

Totally agree! Add it to the ideas board so it has a chance of getting on the roadmap!

Let’s take a look GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP) to create even better scroll motion animation.
Divi already available child theme that utilize GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP).

Does anyone testet this one? : https://motion.page/
On their page stand that it working on bricks…
I have it, but haven’t tried it yet 
A far as I know, this is “layer” over the theme, so it should work with every builder.
Then try it for us 
There is also Animate on Scroll?
Is it with shortcode??
I tried, it’s working perfectly But I don’t know how to work with it, so I can’t help you with that features are supported and what not.
It works outside of Bricks builder, it opens new page, kinda like new “builder”

I will take a look at the documentation. Maybe it is a cool solution for some things.
Motion.page is great and detail but it is better if Bricks have motion effect built-in.
All website under my control is using Elementor.
Elementor cost hike anger many people, and moving to Bricks means more cost since I need to pay to Motion.page to get motion effect done.
Not only Elementor & Divi have motion effect,… now Brizy 2.4 also has motion effect:

I discovered Bricks just a week ago, in general it makes a really good impression.
It would be great though if Bricks also has such an animation feature as shown in the video, that lets you adjust CSS properties by scrolling for example.
This is one of the features that still keeps me away from Bricks compared to Webflow and it would be outstanding if we could to that in Bricks itself instead of need to have and buy another plugin like motion page.
As far as I have seen, there are no updates on this yet. Is there anything known about this?

I agree with you. There should be a built-in feature for this, as it is widely available elsewhere.

You don’t need motion.page or bricksforge to use GSAP. They do allow you to work without coding which saves some people time. So that has a value which you can pay for. You also have the Web Animations API which is free to use. Webflow IX2 is not very performant and has plenty of issues. I usually use GSAP on Webflow projects (rare these days) which is portable and has many many more features and functionality.

I don’t think it has been added yet… Is this in the request features for the roadmap?
So I can give you my feedback after few projects with this. I used elementor a lot before I started with bricks (aug 2023). bricks is absolut great. the only thing is this motion stuff. at the moment, it’s not really handy with bricks to add some animations. for example you just want some animations on desktop but not on mobile? määäg not easy possible. Or scroll animations? not really cool. so at this point elementor is very easy to handle and tbh you don’t need on every project crazy animations, elementors motion effects works for 90% of all projects. I know developers want the freedom of every bit and byte but you still work in a builder and if this would be natively supported, why not? three or four clicks and you have the needed animation 
I used motion.page and bricksforge. motion page is easier to use than bricksforge, but bricksforge has more extra options to trigger timelines on events etc. at the end, bot of them use gsap and it’s for example a lot of work to just make a div fade in / out on scroll (responsiveness hello). it takes 5 times longer to get a simple animation than in elementor… and is it better? nope
long story short. I love bricks but this motion effect part should be improved / extended i think it’s one of the top rated idea on the ideaboard. if this would work out of the box, it would be amazing!

I initially intended to use bricks for my agency’s project website. After experimenting with it, I found that it possesses all the features I desire: speed, comprehensive modules, and clean code. However, it lacks certain functionalities such as scroll animation and mouse effects. I am inclined to wait until these features are integrated, provided they are easily purchasable and simple to implement, before making the switch from Elementor and Divi. Despite being slower and generating suboptimal code, these platforms offer a better user experience due to their animation capabilities.I’ve noticed that solutions like BricksForge or Motion.Page offer some animation possibilities, but they aren’t as efficient as Elementor and Divi, albeit being more versatile in terms of trigger animations. This gap is significant because I believe many users, like myself, are eagerly anticipating such features to fully embrace Bricks and abandon other builders. We envision something akin to Webflow’s advanced web design capabilities but within the WordPress ecosystem. It’s unfortunate that Bricks falls short in this aspect, despite being so close to offering a comparable experience, solely due to the absence of animations
