Hard svg animation - animation

I need your help with the implementation of svg animation.

(sorry for the poor video quality)
And I have such a structure of svg
I need the arrow (class = "arrow") itself to move along long lines and draw it.

Advise which library I can use

You could do this using svg smil animations:
A Guide to SVG Animations (SMIL)
Your arrow animations could be achieved by
<animateMotion> for moving the arrow element and
animating the stroke-dashoffset property.
Animated example
svg {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
width: 33%;
overflow: visible;
display: block;
}
path {
stroke-width: 10;
stroke: #000;
}
<p>Click on animation for replay</p>

Quite likely, you will have to tweak your svg viewBox to get the desired result.
A common trick is to position element that's supposed to move along the motion path to x/y = 0.
Static example
<style>
svg{
border: 1px solid #ccc;
width: 33%;
overflow:visible;
display:block;
}
path{
stroke-width:10;
stroke: #000;
}

How to reverse animate motion?

Why my animation doesn't start from the top to the bottom ? How to reverse it correctly ? I don't know what I should change. (I tried keyPoints="1;0" keyTimes="0;1" which didn't work)
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="500" height="350" viewBox="0 0 500 350"><path d="M404.88 470.22V79.69c-.2-19-14.21-33-17.52-36.19s-16.77-15.19-34.7-15.45h-1.11c-28.65.35-59.55-.12-319.52 0H28" stroke="#000" stroke-miterlimit="10" fill="none" id="motionPath"></path><rect id="circle" x="-25" y="-25" rx="15" ry="15" width="50" height="50"></rect><animateMotion xlink:href="#circle" from="50" to="450" dur="5s" begin="0s" repeatCount="1" rotate="auto" fill="freeze"><mpath xlink:href="#motionPath"></mpath></animateMotion></svg>
It is necessary to remove from =" 50 " to =" 450 " since the length of the path of movement is determined by the length of the path mpath
The direction of movement of an object along a path depends on two parameters
keyPoints="1;0" - movement from start to finish
keyTimes="0;1"
keyPoints="0;1" - movement from end to start
keyTimes="0;1"
In the example below, JS is used only to handle the event of pressing the control buttons: forward and back
var animation1 = document.getElementById("forward")
function forwardSVG(){
animation1.beginElement();
}
var animation2 = document.getElementById("back")
function backSVG(){
animation2.beginElement();
}
<div id="pathContainer4">
<button id="btn1" onclick="forwardSVG()">forward</button />
<button id="btn2" onclick="backSVG()">Back</button />
</div>

Here is the reverse you want.
I modified the shape a little but you can modify it back again.
Hope that this is the solution to your problem.
you can make it freeze too if you want.

Easing animateMotion in SVG

I want to apply an easing to an animateMotion tag.
I'm confused about which attributes are relevant to animate a shape: if I understood well calcMode="spline" is required, along with the definition of keyTimes and keySplines; but what about the use of keySplines and values?
However, I tried to insert timings into my animation, but something went wrong:
<g style="transform-origin:50%;transform: rotate(180deg);">
<path id="verticalMotionPath" d="m 100,100 0, 50" stroke-width="5px" stroke="red" fill="none" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" />
<circle cx="0" cy="0" r="5" fill="#333333">
<animateMotion dur="0.2s" repeatCount="once" fill="freeze" calcMode="spline" keyPoints="0.25;0.50;0.75;1" keyTimes="0;0.25;0.75;1">
<mpath xlink:href="#verticalMotionPath"/>
</animateMotion>
</circle>
</g>
My aim would be to apply to this example timings to draw from tools like this one
You are specifying calcMode="spline", but you haven't provided a keySplines attribute.
The value for keySplines can just be copied from your spline editing tool.
<circle cx="0" cy="0" r="5" fill="#333333">
<animateMotion dur="2.2s" repeatCount="once" fill="freeze"
calcMode="spline" keyTimes="0;1" keySplines="0.1 0.8 0.9 0.1">
<mpath xlink:href="#verticalMotionPath"/>
</animateMotion>
</circle>
Full demo (I've slowed down the animation so you can see it is working).

This is how I would do it although I don't use animateMotion.
Since your path is made up of lines you can define the values for <animateTransform> like this:
Your path's d="M100, 100 L100, 47 146, 73"
the animation's values="100, 100; 100, 47;146, 73"
This is a working example:
<svg width="400" height="400" viewBox="0 0 200 200" style="background:aquamarine">
<path id="theMotionPath" d="M100, 100 L100, 47 146, 73" stroke-width="5px" stroke="antiquewhite" fill="none" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" />
<circle r="5" >
<animateTransform
attributeType="XML"
attributeName="transform"
type="translate"
values="100,100; 100,47; 146,73"
keySplines= ".5 0 .5 1; 0 .75 .25 1";
calcMode="spline"
dur="4s"
repeatCount="indefinite" />
</circle>
</svg>
The keySplines length must be equal to the length of the values - 1. In this case values.length = 3 thus keySplines.length = 2, i.e: the movement from the first to the second value is defined by the first key spline; the movement from the second to the third value is defined by the second key spline. Every value of the keySplines is defining the 2 control points of a Bézier curve.

SVG - animate opacity

could you please help me out, how to create SVG animation, which will behave like this? https://framer.cloud/aSUDY/
I did my best, but it always misbehaves :-(
Here is my code, where I used 6 animations to cycle through (3 to animate from 0.5 to 1 opacity and three to animate vice versa)

I've changed the animations to use values, they don't really need to be linked.
I've removed the duplication and the elements that really were'nt doing anything other than add complexity.

How to make an object rotate around the exact center of the screen using animateTransform?

Consider the following SVG code for moving a circle around the center of the screen, with hard-coded dimensions:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<g>
<ellipse id="circ" style="fill:#000000"
cx="60%" cy="50%"
rx="10" ry="10" />
<!--Assuming window size is 1000x1000-->
<animateTransform attributeName="transform"
type="rotate" dur="10s"
from="0,500,500"
to="360,500,500"
repeatCount="indefinite"/>
</g>
</svg>
If I try to provide the center of rotation in percent, the animation doesn't work at all:
<animateTransform attributeName="transform"
type="rotate" dur="10s"
from="0,50%,50%"
to="360,50%,50%"
repeatCount="indefinite"/>
How do I fix this?
Set a viewBox on your SVG, then whatever size you make it, the ellipse will rotate around the centre of it.
viewBox="0 0 1000 1000"
The value of 1000 for width and height here is chosen because it would make 500 be the centre.
svg:nth-child(1) {
width: 200px;
}
svg:nth-child(2) {
width: 500px;
}
svg {
border: solid 1px green;
}
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 1000 1000">
<g>
<ellipse id="circ" style="fill:#000000"
cx="60%" cy="50%"
rx="10" ry="10" />
<!--Assuming window size is 1000x1000-->
<animateTransform attributeName="transform"
type="rotate" dur="10s"
from="0,500,500"
to="360,500,500"
repeatCount="indefinite"/>
</g>
</svg>
<!-- An exact duplicate of th first one -->
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 1000 1000">
<g>
<ellipse id="circ" style="fill:#000000"
cx="60%" cy="50%"
rx="10" ry="10" />
<!--Assuming window size is 1000x1000-->
<animateTransform attributeName="transform"
type="rotate" dur="10s"
from="0,500,500"
to="360,500,500"
repeatCount="indefinite"/>

Laggy animation on Firefox

I've replicated this effect using mask and filter.
This is what I've done:
Applied two masks on two different text elements, one on the left for the blurred text and one on the right for the normal text.
Animated both masks and the ellipse to get the final effect.
Everything works fine, however the animation is lagging on Firefox. Is there any way to make the animation smooth?

I have taken a look at your svg animation in different browsers.
But it works without any lagging in FireFox and Chrome, but in Internet Explorer it's not working at all.
Maybe make use of Fakesmile, this is supported for Internet Explorer.
