I have encountered a few sites, now, that take advantage of CSS3 keyframe-style animation, and decided to test it on my own sites. However, this leads me to a conundrum: Usually before I commit a CSS file to the site, I'll use the browser's inspector (Ctrl+Shift+I
on Chrome, Opera, and FF; F12
in IE) to tweack and change the CSS locally to see what I like best. However, it appears there's no way to change the keyframes of a CSS3 animation with the browser inspector! This is an extreme hinderance to me, as it forces me to commit a CSS file every time I want to change any nuance of the animation, which also comes with up to a 15-minute delay from the server. Is there any way I can locally change CSS3 animation keyframes with the browser inspector?
Open the animation tools by first opening Chrome Dev Tools, then under the dev tools menu choose More tools > Animations. The Animations panel needs to already be open when the page is loaded to capture info on animations–refresh the page to achieve this.
The @keyframes CSS at-rule controls the intermediate steps in a CSS animation sequence by defining styles for keyframes (or waypoints) along the animation sequence. This gives more control over the intermediate steps of the animation sequence than transitions.
Since Chrome 50 it's now finally possible to edit CSS keyframes. https://twitter.com/ChromeDevTools/status/694966453376675840
