Mixing colors in CSS is pretty much a solved deal, thanks to the more recent color-mix() function as it gains support. Pass in two color values — any two color values at all — and optionally set the proportions.

background-color: color-mix(#000 30%, #fff 70%);

We also have the relative color syntax that can manipulate colors from one color space to another and modify them from there. The preeminent use case being a way to add opacity to color values that don’t support it, such as named colors.

background-color: hsl(from black h s l); /* hsl(0 0% 0%) */
background-color: hsl(from black h s l / 50%); /* hsl(0 0% 0% / 50%) */

We can get hacky and overlay one opaque element with another, I suppose.

Same general idea maybe, but with mix-blend-mode?

Another roundabout way of getting there is something I saw this morning when looking over the updates that Ryan added to the animation property in the Almanac. Now, we all know that animation is shorthand for about a gajillion other properties (the order of which always eludes me). One of those is animation-composition and it’s used to… well, Ryan nails the explanation:

Defining a property in CSS also sets what is considered the underlying value of the property. By default, keyframe animations will ignore the underlying value, as they only consider the effect values defined within the animation. Keyframes create a stack of effect values, which determines the order in which the animation renders to the browser. Composite operations are how CSS handles the underlying effect combined with the keyframe effect value.

Manuel Matuzović and Robin Rendle also have excellent ways of explaining the property, the former of which sparked us to update the Almanac.

OK! We have three values supported by animation-composition to replace the underlying property value in favor of the effect value defined in keyframes, add to them, or accumulate for combining multiple values. The add value is what’s interesting to us because… oh gosh, let’s just let Ryan take it:

[I]nstead of replacing an underlying background-color property value with the keyframe’s effect value, the color type values are combined, creating new colors.

A-ha! The example goes like this:

See that? The add value blends the two colors as one transitions to the other. Notice, too, how much smoother that transition is than the replace value, although we wind up with a completely new color at the 100% mark rather than the color we declared in the keyframes. What if we pause the animation at some arbitrary point? Can we extract a new color value from it?

Ryan made this so that hovering on the elements pauses the animation. If we crack open DevTools and force the :hover pseudo on the element, maybe we can head over to the Computed tab to get the new color value.

Interestingly, we get some RGB conversions in there. Probably because updating color channels is easier than converting one hex to another? Browsers do smart stuff.

Now I want to go update my old color interpolation demo…

Hmm, not any different to my untrained eye. Maybe that’s only because we’re changing the HSL’s hue channel and it’s super subtle. Whatever the case, animation-composition can produce new computed color values. What you need those for and what you’d do with them? I dunno, but go wild.

Color Mixing With Animation Composition originally published on CSS-Tricks, which is part of the DigitalOcean family. You should get the newsletter.

The landscape of video and motion graphics is evolving at an exhilarating pace, all fueled by artificial intelligence (AI). And it will continue to revolutionize the industry throughout this year.

In this post, we dive into the future of video and motion graphics, to explore the trends that will likely grow, change, and evolve this year. Naturally, most of these trends involve AI and whether you like it or not, it will be a part of your process too.

In motion graphics, the trends have stayed consistent over the years. We expect to see some of the timeless trends getting more popular while making way for new concepts that enhance visual storytelling.

Without further ado, let’s dive in and explore the video trends and motion graphic trends to keep an eye out for this year.

1. Effortless Editing With AI

.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; margin-bottom:20px; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

Editing videos became effortless with the help of AI. Adobe Premiere Pro and many other popular video editing software introduced cool new AI-powered editing systems last year, including text-based video editing.

Instead of having to scan videos manually to find and edit clips, you can now generate a transcript and edit using the text. Generating clips and scenes is also easier with AI. Enhancing audio and video quality became as simple as clicking a single button.

Things will only get bigger and better this year with Premiere Pro taking the lead on impressive AI-powered tools and features. But many other software are also introducing unique and advanced AI tools that will make video editing easier than ever.

2. AI Voiceovers Replace Voice Actors

.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; margin-bottom:20px; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

Recording voiceovers for videos has always been a frustrating experience. Even when you manage to get everything right in the first take, there will be some issues with the audio or the mic. Not to mention the costs of hiring voice actors for professional videos.

This is part of the reason why AI voiceovers became so popular last year. Now, all you have to do is copy and paste the script into an app and have it generate the voice track.

These AI voiceover tools are surprisingly realistic and accurate and it’s very difficult to make these AI-voiced videos apart from real voices. In fact, there are now tools that allow you to synthesize your own voice so you don’t have to record voiceovers for your videos ever again.

3. AI Avatars To Replace People

While you’re replacing your voiceovers with AI this year, why not replace yourself with an AI avatar? That way, you can completely automate your video production and even reduce the costs that go into hiring actors as well.

There are already many tools that allow you to generate AI avatars for videos. Even though they are not perfect right now, it won’t be too long before they get more accurate. Tools like HeyGen are already doing a great job of cloning your personality and likeness to generate AI videos.

Soon, there will be AI tools that will let you create videos or even movies with AI actors, reducing production costs and making things way easier to create content with nothing but a laptop.

4. Rise Of Short-Form Videos

.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; margin-bottom:20px; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

Popularized by TikTok, Shorts became a phenomenal new addition to social media platforms, including YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. According to statistics, YouTube Shorts get more than 50 billion views per day.

Shorts and short-form content are much easier to consume, especially on mobile platforms. The vertical video format fits perfectly on mobile devices and they are just easier to scroll through than watching full-length videos.

Short-form videos appear to be the future of video and content creation. And marketers are slowly adopting this trend into their campaigns as well.

5. AI-Generated Videos Are Here

People laughed at the AI-generated videos. They were hilariously bad at generating realistic scenes, humans had way too many fingers, and they often looked nightmare-inducing. That all changed when OpenAI revealed its AI model for generating videos, Sora.

Sora does an incredible job at generating AI videos from text prompts. If someone were to show you the Sora introduction video without telling you it’s AI-generated, it would probably take you a long time to realize it.

There are many other AI video models out there and people are already using them to create wild and weird videos. As fun as they are to look at, it’s important to realize how fast AI-generated videos have improved over the course of a few months. And they will only get even better this year.

Marketers will be able to use AI videos to highlight their businesses, content creators will use AI to generate unique stock footage, and filmmakers will use it to create beautiful scenic shots without having to visit the locations. The opportunities will be endless.

6. Storytelling Is Still King of Marketing

.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; margin-bottom:20px; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

Every year, people around the world watch the Super Bowl for two reasons: Some watch it for the game and others watch it for the adverts. If you look at some of the most popular Super Bowl ads that generated more views and discussions, you’ll notice that they all have one thing in common—Storytelling!

Storytelling is still the key to creating more memorable, emotional, and impactful content. Whether it’s a TV commercial, social media video, or even a behind-the-scenes video, storytelling gives your content an identity that makes your brand stand out from the crowd. As long as humans have emotions, you can use storytelling to tap into their souls and minds.

7. Liquid-style Animations Takes Over

Motion graphics with liquid-style animations have been popular for quite a while. Their ability to create mesmerizing visuals with fluid animations often brings out a sense of energetic and whimsical vibe in people. This is why we’ve been seeing more and more businesses and marketers use liquid animations in their promo videos.

The fluidity and smoothness of the liquid animations make them more effective at grabbing the attention of the viewer. And using bright and vibrant colors makes them even more attractive. For these reasons, we can expect to see more motion graphic designs using liquid animations this year and probably throughout next year as well.

8. Episodic Videos Boost Retention

.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; margin-bottom:20px; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

When creating content on similar topics, consider turning it into a video series rather than creating one long-form video. Many creators have found episodic content to be much more effective than publishing individual videos apart from one another.

This is especially effective for YouTube channels. Many users on Reddit confirm that episodic content and videos made as a series work better for discoverability. And it’s also the best way to get your viewers to come back for more.

The key, however, is to create episodic content that stands on its own. Rather than creating a series with numbers like “episode 34”, you need to create interesting episodes that can be enjoyed by anyone who finds them without needing to watch the entire series from the beginning.

9. Long-Form Videos Still Works

.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; margin-bottom:20px; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

Even though short-form videos are the go-to choice among the younger generations, there is still good demand for long-form videos. The recent growth of podcast channels on YouTube is a good example of that. Even on TikTok, the long-form 10-minute videos have been quite popular over the past few months.

In-depth videos and content offer a bigger opportunity for you to engage with your audience on a much deeper level. If you can maintain the attention of your viewers throughout an hour-long video, you won’t have trouble convincing them to join your tribe.

10. Neo Brutalism Making a Comeback

There’s something about the raw and vibrant aesthetic of the Neo Brutalism trend that makes it hard to look away. The popular graphic design trend someone made its way over to motion graphics and now they are taking over the world of media as well.

The Neo Brutalism vibe is most effective for business and brand content. They help brands stand out with a more authentic look to connect with the audience on a personal level. Of course, the simple color schemes and the creative shapes also help create mesmerizing animations.

11. Silent Videos Making A Comeback

.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; margin-bottom:20px; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

In 2023 we saw a rise in silent videos on social media platforms. These are videos that don’t have any voiceovers and only consist of captions and subtitles. And they are slowly becoming the standard format for videos that target mobile audiences.

Most people who watch videos on mobile devices watch while traveling, standing in a queue, or crowded places. They prefer to keep volume muted while watching videos and that’s why they prefer these new captioned videos.

This is one of the trends that have a positive impact, allowing you to tap into a new group of audience this year.

12. Realistic 3D Motion Graphics

.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; margin-bottom:20px; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

Realism is the new theme of motion graphics. Especially with the advancements in AI, it’s getting much easier to generate brilliant motion graphics with realistic 3D visuals.

3D VFX tools like Blender also received significant improvements last year making them capable of producing life-like and ultra-realistic 3D motion graphics. Needless to say, we can expect to see more of those this year as well.

13. Retro Effects Are Still Popular

Reto-style visual effects and motion graphics will only continue to grow in popularity this year and we are not complaining. They are the ideal choice for creating a sense of nostalgia and evoking feel-good emotions.

Seeing cool retro filters, VHS-style distortions, and cyberpunk-themed glitching effects never gets old. These cool effects get featured on everything from YouTube videos to promotional adverts and even wedding videos. And we hope this retro motion graphics trend will never go out of style.

14. Grunge Visual Effects On The Rise

One of the new trends that’s slowly growing in motion graphics is the use of grunge-style visual effects. These effects add a gritty and urban feel to various types of videos, especially for intros and title scenes of videos, and add a raw and unpolished aesthetic.

Today, most content, adverts, and videos look too perfect, smooth, and unrealistic. And that’s part of why this grunge visual effects trend is getting more recognition. It adds imperfections, hand-drawn animations, grainy filters, and texture overlays to deliberately make videos look raw and realistic.

15. Dynamic Transitions To Grab Attention

Video transition effects used to be simple, minimal, and subtle. But that’s going away. Now, videos use more dynamic transition effects to attract the viewer’s attention and maintain it throughout the video.

Dynamic transitions are more than just about connecting two clips, they are also about creating fluid scenes that blend perfectly while also adding a sense of flow to the overall look of the video. Don’t be surprised if you see more videos that use dynamic transitions this year.

16. Histrionic Visuals

This is a motion graphics trend that we didn’t see coming and we certainly didn’t expect it to be this popular. Histrionic visuals are all about creating more expressive and dramatic videos.

This trend involves using rough textured overlays, old-school vintage color palettes, and distorted VHS-style effects to create scenes that evoke strong emotional responses. As a result, this effect is popularly used in videos related to serious topics, such as documentaries.

We also saw a different take on this trend where video editors and animators use histrionic visuals to create pop art and digital futurism-style looks for videos as well.

What’s Next?

We didn’t expect AI to make such a big impact on the way we work and now, somehow, we can’t imagine our lives without it.

It’s hard to guess what kind of an impact AI will have in the video industry this year. It will likely be as mind-blowing as the last year. However, we can be sure of one thing: it’s an exciting time to be working in this industry.

I was looking over an older article Patrick Brosset penned for us introducing <selectmenu>, a new proposal at the time for a more style-able cousin to <select>. From there, I clicked the linked-up <selectmenu> explainer and got… this:

OK, link rot is a thing and happens all the time. Perhaps the site needs a little URL designing? But no, it’s not that at all. I searched a bit and found Jared White’s post saying that <selectmenu> is no more, which came by way of Una’s post over at the Chrome Developer Blog seeking feedback on a “customizable select”. And Adam Argyle’s got a wonderful demo dedicated to it, no surprise there.

I’m only sharing the links for now but plan to spend some time with it and jot down notes on Open UI’s new page for the Customizable <select>. I enjoyed looking at the boilerplate from Adam’s demo as a first glance:

select {
  &, &::picker(select) {
    appearance: base-select;
  }
  
  &::picker(select) {
    transition: 
      display allow-discrete 1s, 
      opacity 1s, 
      overlay 1s allow-discrete
    ;
  }
  
  &:not(:open)::picker(select) {
    opacity: 0;
  }
  
  &:open::picker(select) {
    opacity: 1;
    
    @starting-style {
      opacity: 0;
    }
  }
}

I see the ::picker(select) there that’s driving all of it. If I sneak a peek at Una’s post, I see that there are more ways to select different <select> parts, including:

• <selectedoption> (the current selection)
• <option> (which now accepts HTML in between the tags!)
  • option::before
  • option:checked (a little confusion here with the selected option)
• <button> (the little chevron arrow marker thingy)

So, perhaps Chrome is more of a fan of extending the native <select> with additional CSS features for selecting the existing parts rather than moving forward with a completely new element. That’s cool, as one of Una’s demos shows how we still get the default <select> behavior even if a browser does not support the new selectors.

The selectmenu Element is No More…Long Live select! originally published on CSS-Tricks, which is part of the DigitalOcean family. You should get the newsletter.

Part of me can’t believe I’m writing this article. Applying the insights of Leonardo da Vinci or Saul Bass to web design is more my groove, but sometimes you simply have to write about spreadsheets. You have to advocate for them. Because someone should.

In a checkered career spanning copywriting, journalism, engineering, and teaching, I’ve seen time and time again how powerful and useful spreadsheets are in all walks of life. The cold, hard truth is that you — yes, you — likely have an enormous amount to gain by understanding how spreadsheets work. And, more importantly, how they can work for you.

That’s what this piece is about. It’s a rallying cry, with examples of spreadsheets’ myriad uses and how they can actually, in the right circumstances, be the bedrock of altogether inspiring, lovely things.

Spreadsheets have been around for thousands of years. Papyrus remnants have been discovered from as far back as 4,600 BC. Their going digital in the late ‘70s was a major factor in the rise of personal computing. Much is (rightly) made of the cultural transformation brought about by the printing press. The digital spreadsheet, not so much.

For as long as people have had projects and data to organize, spreadsheets have been indispensable. They were the original databases.

Spreadsheets don’t always get a lot of attention these days. For organization and workflow, we usually find ourselves in the worlds of Trello, Jira, or GitHub Projects. Datasets live in Oracle, MongoDB, and the like. There are good reasons for these services emerging — everything has its place — but

I do get the sense that specialized tooling causes us to skip over the flexibility and power that today’s spreadsheet editors provide.

This is especially true for smaller projects and ones in their early stages. Yes, sometimes only a huge database will do, but often spreadsheets are more than fit for purpose.

What makes spreadsheets so great? We’ll get into a few real-world examples in a second, but several qualities hold true. They include the following:

• Collaboration
  Cloud-based editors like Google Sheets give groups of people a space in which to collaborate on data. They can serve as a middle ground for people working on different parts of the same project.
• Structure
  It’s inherent to spreadsheets that they’ll get you thinking about the ‘shape’ of the information you’re dealing with. In the same way that a blank piece of paper invites fluidity of thought, tables coax out frameworks — and both have their place
• Flexibility
  Spreadsheets can evolve in real time, which is especially useful during the formative stages of a project when the shape of the ‘data’ is still being established. Adding a field is as simple as naming a column, and the ability to weave in formulas makes it easy to infer other values from the ones you have. With stuff like the Google Sheets API, you can even scrape data directly from the spreadsheet
• Power
  You’d be surprised how much you can do in spreadsheets. Sometimes, you don’t even need bespoke dashboards; you can do it all in the editor. From data visualization to pivot tables, spreadsheet editors come with a bunch of powerful out-of-the-box features.
• They translate into other data formats
  Spreadsheets are one small jump from the mighty CSV. When the time is right, spreadsheets can still become raw data if you want them to.

Such is the flexibility and power of spreadsheets, and what’s listed here is scratching the surface. Their fundamental strength of organizing data has made them useful for thousands of years, while contemporary enhancements have taken them to the next level.

Below are a few examples from my own experiences that showcase these benefits in the real world. They’re obviously slanted towards my interests, but hopefully, they illustrate the usefulness of spreadsheets in different contexts.

Galaxies (Of The Guardian)

I work as a software engineer at Guardian News & Media, a place where 10% of the time, i.e., one work day every two weeks, is yours to spend on independent learning, side projects, and so on, is part of the working culture. An ongoing project of mine has been Galaxies (of the Guardian), a D3-powered org chart that represents departments as a series of interrelated people, teams, and streams.

What you see above is powered by information stored and edited in spreadsheets. A lambda scraps departmental information using the aforementioned Google Sheets API, then reformats into a shape Galaxies plays nicely with.

This approach has had several benefits. The earliest iterations of Galaxies were only possible because there was already a spreadsheet being maintained by those who needed to keep track of who worked where. Techies and non-techies alike are able to update information easily, and it is transparent to anyone who works inside the organization.

For anyone interested, I wrote a piece about how Galaxies works on the Guardian engineering blog. Suffice it to say here, spreadsheets were — and remain — the engine of the whole thing.

Food Bank Britain

My background is in journalism, and I still freelance in my own time. As my coding skills have improved, I’ve naturally gravitated towards data journalism, even teaching it for a year at my old journalism school.

Spreadsheets are inseparable from a lot of modern journalism — and, indeed, copyrighting in general. The digital world is awash with data, and good luck making sense of it without a working knowledge of spreadsheets.

For example, a piece I wrote for the Byline Times about foodbanks earlier this year simply wouldn’t have been possible without spreadsheets. It was by collating data from the Trussell Trust, the Independent Food Aid Network, and national census reports that I was able to map out the sheer scale of the UK’s food bank network.

Granted, the map is more visually engaging. But then that’s the idea. It’s the same information, just presented more pointedly.

There are plenty of other instances of spreadsheets being instrumental at the Guardian alone. Typerighter, the newspaper’s automated house style checker, began life as a subeditor’s spreadsheet. User research and bug tracking for the new Feast cooking app, which I worked on during its formative stages, was tracked and discussed in spreadsheets.

And, of course, countless pieces of quality journalism at the Guardian and beyond continue to be powered by them.

If this piece has got you to at least consider learning more about spreadsheets and spreadsheet editors, you’re in luck. There are countless free learning resources available on the web. Here are a few excellent beginner videos to help you on your way:

• Google Sheets Tutorial for Beginners
• How to use Pivot Tables in Google Sheets
• Excel Tutorial for Beginners
• Pivot Table Excel Tutorial

As for spreadsheet editors, the big three these days are probably Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, and LibreOffice Calc (for the open source devotees out there). They all work much the same way. And as you get comfortable with their functionality, new avenues will open.

Data is the lifeblood of the modern web, and spreadsheets remain one of the most accessible, flexible ways to organize, analyze, and share it. As I hope the examples I’ve shared with you show, spreadsheets aren’t inherently boring. They can be, but when used in the right ways, they become the engines of dynamic, impactful work.

The way they go is up to you.
