Animations and Transitions Debugger
Slow down, pause, and scrub CSS animations using the Animations panel in browser DevTools.
Opening the Animations Panel
Chrome DevTools → More tools → Animations (or Cmd+Shift+P → "Animations"). The panel records CSS transitions and animations as they run, displaying them on a timeline with scrubbing and playback speed controls.
Slowing Down Animations
The animations panel offers 10%, 25%, and 100% playback speed. Slowing to 10% reveals timing issues, easing curve problems, and stutter that are invisible at full speed — essential for debugging complex multi-element choreography.
