GSAP3: Beyond the Basics
Ready to take your GSAP3 skills to the next level? Let me show you my favorite "must know" features of GSAP3 that will open your eyes to new ways of creating and controlling your animations.
In GSAP3 Express I provided an accelerated path towards building animation sequences with timelines. That course only scratched the surface of what GSAP can do.
GSAP3 Beyond the Basics is designed to help you better understand the full capabilities of GSAP and master the techniques the pros use to approach more complex animations.
There is no better way to have your animations stand out than to understand the many components of staggered animations.
You'll learn how to use function-based values, eases to distribute start times, and weighted random values.
Here's a sample video from this chapter
This course is loaded with over 35 lessons packed with interactive demos and additional resources.

Don't miss this special sale event
For many years, GSAP was funded through premium memberships which gave users access to special "bonus plugins" and a commercial license that allowed you to use GSAP in products you sold to multiple people.
These GSAP memberships cost upwards of $100 per year.
As of April 30th, 2025 those memberships no longer exist and the ENTIRETY of GSAP is free to use for everyone.
I'm doing a special sale to celebrate so that everyone can become better at coding animations and avoid ALL the common pitfalls new users face.
I've spent over 4 years creating what I believe to be "Essential GSAP Training".
My course bundle contains knowledge gained from working with GSAP for nearly 2 decades.
For nearly 7 of those years I worked at GreenSock creating all their learning material, writing the documentation, creating demos, recording training videos and answering literally thousands of questions in the forums.
These videos represent literally 10's of thousands of hours worth of professional experience working with GSAP.
I go beyond "pretty effects" and aim to teach you the fundamentals in the most straight-forward and practical manner possible.
I know what it's like to be a beginner struggling with a new API, so my focus in on making everything easy and accessible.
Although each of these courses could sell for over $100 each, I'm giving them all away for one price of $49.
There is MASSIVE demand in the market for quality GSAP training and I'm confident that with the increased volume this can be a win for everyone.
My dream from day one was to help as many people as possible discover the joy of animating with GSAP.
By lowering the barrier to entry with this super-low price I'm confident I can ccome much closer to fulfilling that dream.
I hope to see you in the club!
