NO BUG: Interaction Animation Problem

Trying out some Interaction Animations for the first time, but nothing seems to work (1.7.1 - 1.7.3)

Simple stuff - fadeInUp on Enter Viewport on an image.

Noticed in the inspector that this is over-riding the set animation duration

animate.min.css

@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce), print
.brx-animated {
animation-duration: 1ms !important;
animation-iteration-count: 1 !important;
transition-duration: 1ms !important;
}

If I uncheck those in the inspector then all animations work as they should. Wondering if this is a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Have tried this in multiple browsers, regenerated css, disabled plugins, put a class or ID on the image and targeted that instead of self, etc.

Hi William,
Thanks so much for your report!

This is because you have activated the option to reduce motion in your system settings. Please take a look here, and you will find information on what this is about and where you can change the settings depending on your operating system/browser:

Thank you Timmse,

Reduce motion was indeed checked in Mac Accessibility / Display settings. I have absolutely no idea why however. I have no reason to enable that, didn’t even know it was an option, but everything is fine now once unchecked.

Thought I was going crazy there trying to figure out what I was doing wrong! :smile:

Hello, I would like to join this topic briefly:
I understand the sense and benefit of reduced motion. But when this system setting is enabled, all animations (e.g. in Bricks Interactions) are disabled. Even very smooth fade transitions.

I’m currently using a soft fade transition to fade in the mobile menu. Is there a way to have these animations (in my case under Interactions-start animation) running even though reduced motion is enabled?

Thanks for any help, Kai

By the way: In motion page there is an option "Bypass prefer reduced motion. This gives me the possibility to control exactly which animation is executed. This would also be very helpful for the animations for the Bricks Interactions.

Hi Kai,
No, it does not exist in Bricks, and we will not introduce it because we think it is more than reasonable to respect the user settings.
