.timeline ul li::after {
  transition: background .5s ease-in-out;
}

.timeline ul li.in-view::after {
  background: #035195;
}

.timeline ul li div {
  visibility: hidden;
  opacity: 0;
  transition: all .5s ease-in-out;
}

.timeline ul li:nth-child(odd) div {
  transform: translate3d(200px, 0, 0);
}

.timeline ul li:nth-child(even) div {
  transform: translate3d(-200px, 0, 0);
}

.timeline ul li.in-view div {
  transform: none;
  visibility: visible;
  opacity: 1;
}

The height between those timeline points(circular time points) depends on the height of the actual container that has orange/red background, but now there is a lot of empty space. see here →

Is there a way we can set the maximum height between any two circular points?

That looks very awkward.

I think you’d need to do something like this and float the elements so that they can slide up each side.

Untested so thoroughly test first with different size content to ensure no overlaps etc.
