In the prototype, GIF animation slows down if there are several GIFs in one frame (more than 5-6 in one frame).

When creating a presentation landing page with GIF files, the GIF animation in the prototype presentation mode starts to lag. The more GIF files in the frame, the more lag the animation experiences. It lags in all browsers (Opera, Chrome, Edge, Yandex Browser on Windows OS). On MacOS, it lags on some devices, but not on others.
It started yesterday. This problem wasn't present before; GIF animation worked fine regardless of the number of GIF files in a single frame.

Hey ​@DmitriyVl88 , Celine from the Figma Community Support team here! Thanks for the detailed report and for the context around when the issue started! 

Since this seems to have started yesterday and wasn't an issue before, I’d like our support team to investigate it further. I've gone ahead and created a support ticket on your behalf. Please check your inbox when you get a chance and reply directly there with any additional details requested. For reference, your case number is #2153422 sent to your email address: uxxxxh@mxxl.xu.

In the meantime, a few things worth trying:

  • Try reducing the number of GIFs in a single frame to see if performance improves
  • Check if the issue occurs in the Figma desktop app vs browser

Thanks for your patience! I am marking as Best answer here as it’s been addressed in the Forum here, but please continue the conversation directly via your support case for investigation 🙏
