To make more than one element fade in/out sequentially such as 5 elements fade each 4s,
1- make unique animation for each element with animation-duration
equal to [ 4s (duration for each element) * 5 (number of elements) ] = 20s
animation-name: anim1 , anim2, anim3 ...
animation-duration : 20s, 20s, 20s ...
2- get animation keyframe for each element.
100% (keyframes percentage) / 5 (elements) = 20% (frame for each element)
3- define starting and ending point for each animation:
each animation has 20% frame length and @keyframes percentage always starts from 0%, so first animation will start from 0% and end in his frame(20%), and each next animation will starts from previous animation ending point and end when it reach his frame (+20% ),
@keyframes animation1 { 0% {}, 20% {}}
@keyframes animation2 { 20% {}, 40% {}}
@keyframes animation3 { 40% {}, 60% {}}
and so on
now we need to make each animation fade in from 0 to 1 opacity and fade out from 1 to 0,
so we will add another 2 points (steps) for each animation after starting and before ending point to handle the full opacity(1)
