Figma Motion Audio

I wish that this could be a real feature implemented by Figma. It really helps a lot, especially using the Motion feature to create motion graphics that sync in time with audio rhythm.

If Figma did eventually add audio support, it will potentially compete against AE, which is a huge plus to have IMO.

Hi ​@DanielMarino and ​@zeankundev, Celyn from Figma Community Support here.

Thanks both for taking the time to share your thoughts. I can definitely see how audio support would make Figma Motion much more useful for workflows that rely on syncing animations to sound.

I'm happy to share that this is something our team is currently working on. While I don't have an exact ETA to share just yet, I've passed along your feedback and the use cases you've described so the team has that additional context.

Feedback like this is incredibly valuable in helping shape future improvements, and we really appreciate you both taking the time to let us know 🙌

Hi ​@DanielMarino and ​@zeankundev!

I have made a plugin where we can upload audio and export video with audio on the plugin.
For now, we can upload 1 audio but i am still working on it to have multiple audios and advance features.

The plugin is called AudioMo.

Here’s the link to it.

Please try it out and let me know. Add your comments and feedback.
Do like and share it! 🤘🏻

 

There is a plugin for this Audio for Figma motion. It’s really good & you can download animation with sound also.

Check the plugin: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1670907357750790019/audio-for-motion?q_id=4bb95180-9990-41ff-bbde-ecc74cc80cc7

I believe the simplest way to introduce audio support in Figma Motion would be:

1. Trimming Audio Clips

The most intuitive way would be to allow trimming a clip by dragging its ends on the timeline, just like in tools such as Premiere Pro or After Effects.

In this case, the behavior should differ from that of animations. Currently, modifying the duration of an animation adjusts its speed, but this is not usually useful for audio files. Changing the playback speed alters the pitch of the sound: speeding it up makes voices and sounds higher-pitched; slowing it down makes them lower-pitched. Unlike animations, where varying the speed is commonplace, this behavior is rarely desirable in audio.

Therefore, dragging the clip's ends could simply hide the excess portions and adjust its visible duration, offering a very simple solution for trimming audio without needing a dedicated cutting tool.
 

2. Volume Adjustment

Volume control is a basic but very useful feature for combining different audio clips and music tracks.

This would allow, for example:

• Balancing the volume across multiple clips.
• Adding background music while dialogue or sound effects play on parallel tracks.
• Easily creating fade-ins and fade-outs.

Implementation could be as simple as allowing the user to click on the clip's volume line to create control points. These points could then be dragged up or down to increase or decrease the volume at specific moments. With two or more points, it would be possible to create smooth volume transitions without requiring more advanced tools.

To delete a control point, simply select it and delete it as you would any other element in Figma.

If you select the clip and click outside the volume line, you can delete the entire clip.
 

​@Andres_Sanz Audio trimming and volume control are already possible with the Audio for Figma Motion plugin. It lets you trim clips, adjust audio levels, and sync sound with Motion animations directly inside Figma Motion.
