Continous Interpolation Issue in Figma Motion

Hey all,

I’ve been diving into Figma Motion recently and wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same friction with timeline animations.

Whenever I animate Position, Scale, or Appearance (like Opacity) from A to B, and then later to C, the plugin automatically applies continuous interpolation. It completely skips waiting at point B and just smoothly transitions through the whole timeline.

My current workaround: I've been forcing a "hold" by dropping two identical keyframes side-by-side to trap the value and make it pause.

My questions for the community:

  • Who else has noticed this default behavior?

  • Is there a cleaner fix, like a shortcut to toggle interpolation to "Step" or "Hold"?

Thanks in advance for any tips!
