Frequently asked questions

Should all body text use this effect?

No. Motion and overlapping layers can make long text difficult to read. Reserve it for restrained decoration.

Does the output handle reduced motion for my whole site?

Review the generated styles and add a static alternative for reduced-motion users in your application.
