Animation Timing Functions

Animation timing functions control how an animated change progresses over time, influencing its speed and feel. Think of it as a behavioral pattern that dictates whether an animation starts slowly and speeds up, slows down at the end, or maintains a steady pace. Common examples include easing in, easing out, or a smooth acceleration and deceleration. These functions help make animations appear more natural and engaging by mimicking real-world motion, allowing designers to craft transitions that feel intuitive and aesthetically pleasing.
