Why does CSS transition-duration not work on child elment?

Question

I have a problem that my transition does not get applied on an absolute positon child div.

Here is my codepen:

https://codepen.io/Data-Mastery/pen/oNvRdGv

On line 213 (&:hover .image) in the SASS file I want to scale the image and also set a filter, which works fine, but the transition-duration does not get applied.

If I just apply the hover statement on the parent element and not the image, the transition works fine. What is wrong here, can anyone help me?

Why man , it works see this:-

@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans&display=swap");
@keyframes moveInLeft {
  0% {
    transform: translateX(-200px);
    opacity: 0;
  }
  80% {
    transform: translateX(10px);
    opacity: 0.8;
  }
  100% {
    transform: translateX(0px);
    opacity: 1;
  }
}
@keyframes moveInRight {
  0% {
    transform: translateX(200px);
    opacity: 0;
  }
  80% {
    transform: translateX(-10px);
    opacity: 0.8;
  }
  100% {
    transform: translateX(0px);
    opacity: 1;
  }
}
@keyframes moveInBottom {
  0% {
    transform: translateY(100px);
    opacity: 0;
  }
  100% {
    transform: translateY(0px);
    opacity: 1;

Answer 2

Just add a transition to the .image class (or to the hover function, whatever you want to achieve)

      &:hover .image {
        transform: scale(1.1);
        filter: grayscale(50%);
        transition: your parameter;
      }

Answer 3

Add transition property to the

& .image {
        position: absolute;
        top: 0;
        left: 0;
        width: 100%;
        margin-bottom: 1.5rem;
        transition:0.5s;
      }

This will work for you
