Will the animation element be introduced at a later date
Yes, we showed off a lot of prototype Elements during the demos and we’ll be adding new Components slowly during the beta, based on feedback about what users want/need.
Expect an initial animation component soon-ish.
Was this ever released? I just bought the pro version and it’s not in the list, only the reveal is listed… ?!
What Animation are you looking to do?
The Animate component shown in the early previews was renamed and reworked in to the “Reveal”.
The Reveal component is available on all versions of Elements 
Thanks, that’s the answer I needed.
