# CSS Animations for HyperFrames
HyperFrames can seek CSS keyframe animations through its `css` runtime adapter. Use this for simple repeated motifs, background motion, shimmer, glow, masks, and non-sequenced decoration.
For scene choreography, GSAP is usually clearer. CSS animations work best when the motion belongs to one element and has a fixed duration.
## Contract
- Put the animated element in the DOM before runtime initialization finishes.
- Give timed elements a `data-start` value so local animation time matches the clip.
- Use finite `animation-duration` and `animation-iteration-count` because the negative-delay fallback cannot represent unbounded duration in environments without WAAPI-backed CSS animations.
- Prefer `animation-fill-mode: both` so seeked states hold before and after active motion.
- Avoid wall-clock JavaScript, hover-triggered state, and class toggles that depend on user events.
The adapter discovers elements with computed `animation-name`, seeks their browser `Animation` handles when available, and falls back to pausing with negative `animation-delay`.
## Basic Pattern
```html
<div
id="pulse-ring"
class="clip pulse-ring"
data-start="0"
data-duration="4"
data-track-index="2"
></div>
<style>
.pulse-ring {
width: 280px;
height: 280px;
border: 4px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
border-radius: 50%;
animation-name: pulse-ring;
animation-duration: 1200ms;
animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.2, 0, 0, 1);
