thats a very good question, I'm wondering too!
we have content that has some animation on it, so it is there but hidden, and renders only when some triggers (mostly scrolling) are hit.
Is this content recognized by google or not?

Google actually executes some javascript.
As mentioned, if the content is just there in the HTML, regardless of the visibility, it will be read.
Although it's not a great practice to introduce hidden elements that are worth for SEO purposes.
It will not harm, but won't do any good in terms of improvement. In case you really need to rank for a SEO optimized content, better leave it visible from on load event

Yes, any text within the <html> pair tags (public source code) will be read, no matter if it's hidden, in a header tag, CSS or in JS code. Google will follow and parse everything, as long as the file is public, which means only exception is server-side code (php for example).
