While I’m very happy to finally have a timeline, I’m struggling to get it to work for prototyping.
Â
With a traditional timeline I can have things appear in/out as needed when users move forward and backward or open/close UI elements. However, Figma Motion doesn’t seem to work that way. When I have a sheet appear up with an animation inside, I want a close icon to allow the sheet to drop back down without playing the animation inside in reverse. This doesn’t seem to work in Figma Motion. I found a check box that suggests it can do this if I select “Smart animation”, but it doesn’t work. It seems bugged. Cool feature but having it focused on prototyping would make it the most useful.
Lastly, please make it so that we can have an animation loop when it’s running in a prototype. Currently, they only play once. It would be great to use it for something like spinners or flowing animations on a screen a user is looking at.
