I’ve been testing figma motion and while making a component with a motion intro, all prototypes functions were working smoothly, except for the preview… 

My component and its variables interactions were set like this:

  • Intro (motion-made), after finishing, with dissolving effect, leads to Page 1
  • Page 1, after user click one button, leads instantly to Page 2
  • Page 2 is the end of the flow

However, the motion intro isn’t working on any preview mode. It plays nicely in the motion settings, just not outside of it :/

Hey ​@Chris Gomes - thanks for checking in. Are you current on a student plan?

If I’m understanding your post correctly, you may be hitting existing limitations right now when it comes to Figma Motion in it’s current beta form.

Please see here for details: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/39582753756695-What-s-new-from-Config-2026

Let me know if I misunderstood.
