# Shutter (`.sds-card-shutter`)

Five stepped horizontal reveals — mechanical shutter feel via steps(5) clip-path inset. Cards animation in SDS Motion Forge v5.0.0. It plays once as soon as the class is applied.

## 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-shutter">Card</div>
```

## How it works

Plays once, as soon as the class is applied. It animates a clip-path mask — compositor-only, so it never causes page reflow. Timing is fixed for this effect, but you can still override animation-duration/timing-function on the element.
