Measured entry

magicui-blur-fade

transition-effectdark-futuristicmotion on file

A client-side React wrapper that animates its child from blurred, offset, and transparent to clear and visible, optionally when it enters the viewport. It ships as a shadcn registry UI file and imports AnimatePresence, motion, and useInView from Motion.

Verdict

A sound, configurable reveal primitive that builds and mounts cleanly in the configured harness. The bare check did not mount, so it needs a shadcn-style setup. It is easiest to justify when Motion is already part of the app; otherwise the dependency cost is steep for one transition.

Use it if

  • You want one reusable wrapper for entrance reveals across cards, headings, or media.
  • Your app already uses Motion and can absorb another animated client component.
  • You need configurable direction, delay, blur, or viewport-triggered playback.

Skip it if

  • You would add Motion solely for this effect and prefer a small CSS transition.
  • You require built-in reduced-motion handling rather than adding that policy yourself.
  • Your layout cannot accept the extra div that wraps every animated child.
  • You need the content to remain a server-only React component.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, add Motion, copy the client component into your source tree, and ensure the React build accepts client directives and resolves motion/react. No context provider is required.
