Some properties animations are not supported by SVG. Example : arc sweep. Then you can elaborate an animation in Figma Motion Beta, visualize the result, but when you export, the SVG will be fully static. My example : I was creating a fancy timer, looked great in Figma, I exported in SVG. Preview was static in the browser, and opening the SVG, I could see that no animation keyframes were defined. 

Could Figma Help indicate the limitation when exporting in SVG. 

Could the export in SVG indicate the non supported animations used in the project ?

Hey, ​@Bertrand 👋 I am going to take all your questions to the Motion team and share the feedback. There may be a delay as we are about to hit the weekend. And I’ll follow up here with any details I get for us. — Jaycee
