Velocity.js/blast.js Starting Opacity At 0

I am using Velocity.js and Blast.js to create a simple load in each word as an animation... one of the basic setups. I am also using this alongside Cycle2. I have a few issues with

Solution 1:

Here you go: http://jsfiddle.net/h3vo8LL1/2/ . You had 2 issues there:

1. You need to pass the incoming slide element to featuredProjectTextAnimation() and find the .animated element in it, instead of selecting all of your text slides.
2. You need to have each slide initially hidden, here, just for example, I set opacity to 0 on the outgoing slide element, and on begin I set it to 1. You can also use display: none or whatever suits you.

HTH!
