# Center Burst (`.sds-center-burst`)

Chars start at center, fan out. Text animation in SDS Motion Forge v5.0.0. It plays once as soon as the class is applied.

- Category: Text (https://sds-motion-forge.netlify.app/categories/text/)
- Animated properties: filter, opacity, transform
- Compositor-only: yes
- Needs child elements: no
- Needs per-character spans: yes
- JavaScript: none required

## Use it

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

<h1 class="sds-center-burst"><span class="sds-char" style="--i:0">C</span><span class="sds-char" style="--i:1">e</span><span class="sds-char" style="--i:2">n</span><span class="sds-char" style="--i:3">t</span><span class="sds-char" style="--i:4">e</span><span class="sds-char" style="--i:5">r</span><span class="sds-char" style="--i:6">&nbsp;</span><span class="sds-char" style="--i:7">B</span><span class="sds-char" style="--i:8">u</span><span class="sds-char" style="--i:9">r</span><span class="sds-char" style="--i:10">s</span><span class="sds-char" style="--i:11">t</span></h1>
```

## How it works

Plays once, as soon as the class is applied. It animates filters (blur/brightness), opacity and movement and scale (transform) — compositor-only, so it never causes page reflow. `--sds-ease-spring` controls the feel — override either on the element or :root (the sds-fast/sds-slow modifier classes do exactly that). Each character needs its own .sds-char span with a --i index (shown in the markup) — the stagger is calc'd from --i.
