# Spotlight (`.sds-spotlight`)

Brightens in under a spotlight. Text animation in SDS Motion Forge v5.0.0. It loops continuously as soon as the class is applied.

- Page: https://sds-motion-forge.netlify.app/animations/spotlight/
- Category: Text (https://sds-motion-forge.netlify.app/categories/text/)
- Animated properties: filter, transform
- 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/text.min.css" />

<h1 class="sds-spotlight">Spotlight</h1>
```

## How it works

Plays as soon as the class is applied, looping continuously. It animates filters (blur/brightness) and movement and scale (transform) — 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.
