Button highlights with subtle shadow and scale increase (105%). Transition: Smooth scale animation **Frame 3 (1000-1500ms)**: Screen slides up revealing feature interface. New screen slides in from bottom with ease-out animation. Text Overlay: "New Feature" (top-left, 16px sans-serif) Transition: Vertical slide transition **Frame 4 (1500-2500ms)**: Feature demonstration - toggle switches animate on, progress bars fill from 0-100%. Text Overlay: "Save 2 hours daily" (center, bold) Transition: Sequential element animations **Frame 5 (2500-3000ms)**: Success checkmark appears with green highlight (#4CAF50). Subtle bounce effect.
