Velocity is a open source library created to increase the performance of javascript animation
Velocity is a standalone library that re-implements jQuery's $.animate()
to produce significantly greater performance (making Velocity also faster than CSS animation libraries) while including new features to improve animation workflow.
Velocity V2 also makes it simple to create far more complicated animations than most other animation libraries by including a syntax that allows for animations that look very similar to CSS animations, but with separate easings on every property at every change in value (Sequences).
