Figma Motion Feedback -Glitch

10 replies
347 views

Just tried Figma Motion and animations work great when tested on standalone screens. However, there's a noticeable issue when a page transition is triggered via an interaction (e.g. clicking a CTA): the final state of the animation briefly flashes (~0.5s) before snapping back to its initial state and playing. This creates a visible glitch every time you navigate between pages. Hope this gets looked into!

Additionally, there seems to be a bug with overlays: animations don't appear to trigger when placed inside an overlay. The animation simply doesn't play.

Hey hey @Floandfish 👋 Thanks for the detailed report — this is really helpful.

To get this in front of the right team and open a ticket, would you be able to share a few things? I don't need them here publicly, you can share via the ticket. I just want to make sure before I open that for us 😊

A not-zoomed-in screen recording of both issues: the page-transition flash/snap-back on CTA click, and the animation not triggering inside an overlay
A link to the file (with View access shared to support-share@figma.com)
The browser/OS and app version (or whether you're on desktop app vs. browser)
The prototype settings on the affected interactions (transition type, any "Reset component state" toggles, etc.)

Thanks — Jaycee

Having the same issue. Irritating as the rest of my experience using Motion has been quite good so far.

Edit: I’ve found that, as a workaround, you can offset the animations around 600ms into the timeline. Not a perfect solution, but one that I’ve found that works for the time being.

I’m having this error too and it’s quite frustrating. Hope it’s addressed soon.

Hi @Jon High, @hummingbird - thanks both for sharing your experiences and the temporary workaround.

I’d like to get this in front of the team for a closer look. Could you share a link to an impacted file and invite support-share@figma.com with Can view access? This won’t affect your billing and will help the team reproduce the behavior and investigate further.

Feel free to send the file links to me via DM if you prefer. Thanks!

Unfortunately I can’t send the file as it has private client work in it :( But it’s basically a file with a mobile web prototype inside of it, and animations that should play nicely when you hit the next screen jitter and appear in their final state briefly before playing.

Hey @hummingbird, thanks for sharing those additional details!

No worries at all. I’ve passed along your description of the animations briefly appearing in their final state before playing, and I’m checking in with the team on the fix they’re currently rolling out.

I’ll share any updates here as soon as I hear back. Thanks for your patience in the meantime 🙏

Hi, I just updated to the latest version, but I still see the same bug (the animations briefly appearing in their final state before playing). If this can’t be fixed, I need to remove the motion used in the prototype before an important presentation which will happen in a week. Thanks!

Hi @Kaya, thanks for flagging this!

I understand that the issue is still happening even after you updated to the latest version, and that you have an important presentation coming up. We’d like to help get this investigated as soon as possible.

I’ve gone ahead and created a support ticket so our team can take a closer look. Your ticket number is #2163662.

Please reply directly to the ticket with a link to the impacted file, and invite support-share@figma.com with “Can View” access (this won’t impact your billing and will allow us to reproduce the issue and investigate further with Engineering).

Someone from the team will be reaching out shortly. Thanks for your patience in the meantime!
