When are we going to be able to stop lottie animations and GIF's looping? Its been promised for ages

Hi, As an animator it’s so frustrating seeing the lack of functionality for Lottie files compared to other packages like Flutter Flow. Animating in Figma is fine for most, but not for an animator, creating animation-heavy apps. I need After Effects Animation for character animations and other complex animations. I need Lottie files to play animations in Figma just once on splash screens etc. Seems so basic for a massive app like Figma… Please let us know if this is being looked at, otherwise, we will have to stop using Figma for creating apps. Thanks, Andrew.

How to change artboard title color

I’m using a light grey background in my Figma file and I can’t read the artboard titles because they are white. How do I change them to a darker color?

Need help zooming out of text

Hey everyone, I’m a beginner in Figma and still figuring things out. Here is what I’m struggling with at the moment: I want the text ”DINORIGAMI“ to appear on the screen. This is suppose to happen by an animation that zooms out. The first frame is suppose to show the inside of the ”R” hole, then zoom out, so the whole text is visible. I tried to recreate this effect with some tutorials I watched on zooming but unfortunately couldn’t make it work. I‘m happy for any feedback or further questions. Thank you in advance!

Lost my Figma Profile

So I made a project on Figma using my student email in June 2023. After that i graduated from the college and they deleted my student email around November 2023. Now I want to access that project file but unable to. I did give view access to one of my friend’s personal email. Now she is able to view it, but cant do anything. One thing is confirmed that the project still exists, but now I cant access it. What to do… I really need that project now!

All text converted to italics. Fix?

Figma changed all of the text in a mockup to italics. How can I revert, undo, or otherwise fix this without having to recreate literally hundreds of software screen designs?

Newish to Figma. How can I copy text styles into my doc?

Coming from Sketch I can copy text with an attached text style from a document and paste it in my new sketch document and its included there. In Figma when I try to copy/paste text styles from a Figma UI Kit into my document they don’t show up as part of that document unless I add the library they came from. Is there a way round this?

Drafts just disappeared

Hi! Similar to the experience of some fellow Figma users as written here: My drafts just disappeared today my drafts just disappeared, without having the “Drafts to move” section… I would reply within that topic but it’s locked. What should I do, how can I recover the drafts?

Figma Slides: publish template error

When I try to publish a Figma Slides template, I get this message: “Something went wrong while publishing. Refresh the page and try again.” I’ve restarted Figma and have re-tried a number of times. Can you suggest anything? Thanks

How to Prototype a Video Progress Bar with Image Previews?

Has anyone come across a tutorial or know how to prototype a video progress bar similar to Netflix or Youtube, where dragging the bar shows an image preview of the video and as you drag the image changes to a preview matching the video time stamp? I’m looking for ideas on creating an interactive slider that displays images as you drag. I’ve found tutorials on sliders with changing numbers, but nothing so far that incorporates image previews. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Issue with order properties in files with a published library

I have a button composant with many props and variations. And the order of those are very important for my workflow. Inside my UI kit, the order is sets in a particular order, like this. But wheb I published it and upload all my assets, the order is still eratic. I closed my soft, even restart my computer, but the pb still remains. Have got the same pb ? I did have since this morning, maybe this is a new issue after a new update of the software ?

How to cancel "WhilePressing" effect?

Hi folks. I stumbled upon a simple Dialog open behavior. If I use a component with “WhilePressing” visual effect (like e.g. background dimming), then both onTap and onTouchUp actions won’t cancel the effect. Here is a sample design file: https://www.figma.com/design/rC5hQVyjoS3ubnRHTmnW8D/Tap-animation?node-id=0-1&t=eLdLBq0A6LpgurTr-1 There are two pages: Page1: onTap Page2: onTouchUp that only differ in their trigger action type. What it looks like currently Here is a short recording in GIF: As you see, the list item remains in its pressed state. How to fix this?

Cannot adjust the scale of the Figma UI (Desktop app)

Working on the desktop app, I have resized the UI and made it smaller by mistake. In the online documentation there are the following shortcuts that do not work because I have an Italian keyboard, where 0 and = are on the same key. I cannot change them, since Figma does not support personalising shortcuts. Reset to Default: CtrlShiftAlt0 Make Larger: CtrlShiftAlt= Also the documentation states that in the View panel there should be a function to resize the UI, but there isn’t as you can see in this screenshot. So, how do I reset the size of the UI? Thank you for your help

I swapped libraries but some of my variants are now assigned to the new library and some to an old one

I am aware that currently when swapping libraries it does not work on variables, but somehow when I swapped libraries, some of the color variables reassigned to the new library variables. So now I have components color variables mixed with the original library and the swapped one. How is this possible? I thought the swapped components variables will remain linked to the original library. Does anyone have similar experience?

Any update on branching and Libraries?

Hi All, We were waiting for a couple of months (years?) until the branching functionality supported combining a design file + library in 1 branch. We at the time saw no way to use branching otherwise (most if not all assets and colors sit in a library, not in the design file). Has this been fixed/changed in the meantime? Or is this still a no-go? A dumb question perhaps, but how do people work around this? I can’t see anybody that uses libraries using the branches until this is fixed. B

Weavely Plugin

I’ve figured out how to use Figma which is very intuitive and build a website this week and was expecting to spend an hour building a mail form so I downloaded Weavely to make it.

How to resize image in an component instance

I’ve got a component that uses a background image as part of it. I’ve just added a mask below the image so I can crop the image within each instance of the component. However after checking the instances in the main file, I notice that the squares that you would grab to resize an image dont appear in the instances when I highlight that layer. Of course if I detach the instance, then they appear and I can resize the image just fine, But I’d like to keep the connection to the main component if possible. Is there a way to set this up so it works how I’d like? Or is it impossible right now?

Why does SMART ANIMATE not animate stroke color?

Hi everyone, Does anyone know why Figma doesn’t animate strokes/borders? If I have a button which has a stroke, and on HOVER the stroke color changes, Figma will not animate it, instead it will make a weird jumpy transition that look terrible. Thanks 🙂
