First and foremost, thank you to the Figma team for introducing animation features it has truly been a game-changer for digital design workflows.
Â
As we integrate these tools further into our UI/UX design process, a few key areas in animation management and export fidelity require refinement:
-
Enhanced Animation Layering Control:Â Improved control over animation layering logic would significantly streamline creating intricate micro-interactions and layered dynamic components.
-
SVG Animation Export Issue (Glass Effects): When exporting icon styles or components with glassmorphism effects (such as background blurs, multi-layered fills, or stroke effects) to animated SVG format, the effect rendering breaks or disappears in the exported file. A fix ensuring background blurs and layer effects are preserved in animated SVG output is essential.
-
Native / Enhanced Lottie Export with Effect Support: Native, full-fidelity Lottie export capabilities—supporting advanced layer effects (shadows, blurs, and glassmorphism)—would be immensely valuable. Currently, vector effect limitations require workarounds that slow down developer handoff for interactive UI animations.
Full support for these visual properties across SVG and Lottie animation exports will make Figma an all-in-one platform for interactive UI design. Thank you for your continuous innovation, and I look forward to seeing these capabilities in upcoming updates!
