Can you convert a video to pure CSS?
Can you convert a video to pure css? Yes, yes you can. And this is how.
A css variable can be used to scrub the position of the animation and if set from js based on scroll works just like the timeline version.

Interestingly, chrome does better with box shadow rendering so if it doesn't crash parsing the css string it ends up being smoother than safari.
