I’m not sure this is doable in Figma. Looking either for confirmation of that and/or if there are workarounds.
What I’m trying to do:
I have a continuously looping animated component I’ve set as the bottom most element of a frame (the background)
I want to animate elements on top of it and navigate between frames
the problem: navigating from frame 1 to frame 2 using smart animation works for everything BUT the background looping animation.
What happens is that the background animation freezes, the rest of the elements animated, and then the background animation ‘resets’ and continues on animating.
It’s a very jarring transition.
The only thing I’ve thought of (but haven’t tried yet) is redoing this looping animation in aftereffects and exporting as a movie, and then bringing that into Figma. But have a hunch I may have the same ‘reset’ issue.
