Hi @alexseo, Do you mean the whole selected text element moves, or letter by letter? For example, you can select an h1 element and apply a ‘fadeInDown’ ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/4/44edc1a7124dbb70c3731bce0b12ccbaf0bf1da5.png) Does this do what you want? Cheers, Bob ---

Thanks, RobM. I solved it. ---

Hey, sorry to bump an old thread. In the case of a letter by letter reveal, what animation settings would you recommend? Or is it more efficient for page load times to add CSS manually? This is the type of animation I mean, but I’d only like this to reveal when scrolling to a specific section of the page (like a scroll observer effect, I guess): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yefgBA1CecI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yefgBA1CecI) There is a gsoc animation here also that’s a bit more advanced. New to Pinegrow and curious as to whether this type of animation is easier to achieve with Interactions or not: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBf3naDvf2A](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBf3naDvf2A) Thanks ---

GSAP does have a plugin called SplitText that will enable you to do letter by letter. ---

Hi, thanks Pete. I used that in the end. New to web dev here…just wondering if I’m unnecessarily increasing page load by adding gsap again as a link tag, given that Pinegrow is presumably integrating their own version of gsap for interactions? It would be cool if I could at least use Pinegrow to trigger my own javascript animations with interactions scroll-timeline so things are managed from one place. ---

Your question got me thinking actually about adding the GSAP plugins, considering it’s all free now with GSAP. I have never done it. I haven’t checked the forum either lol.
