- Page: https://sds-motion-forge.netlify.app/animations/card-cinematic/
- Category: Cards (https://sds-motion-forge.netlify.app/categories/cards/)
- Animated properties: clip-path, opacity
- Compositor-only: yes
- Needs child elements: no
- Needs per-character spans: no
- JavaScript: none required

## Use it

```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@salkomdesignstudio/sds-motion-forge/dist/categories/cards.min.css" />

<div class="sds-card-cinematic">Card</div>
```

## How it works

Plays once, as soon as the class is applied. It animates a clip-path mask and opacity — compositor-only, so it never causes page reflow. `--sds-duration` controls the speed and `--sds-easing` controls the feel — override either on the element or :root (the sds-fast/sds-slow modifier classes do exactly that).
