Hi there!
Really enjoying the new Figma Motion feature. Been waiting for this one for a really long time. Genuinely one of my favorite features from Config 2026, including shaders.
That being said, here are a few things I'd really love to see improved:
- Timeline UI segmentation: the current UI feels really unstable, with all layers & settings blending into one low-contrast mass without any visual clarity.
- Layer color swatches: adding color accents per layer would make navigation and visual separation significantly easier.
- Preview FPS setting: no option to control preview playback FPS right now. Having a dedicated input separate from export would make it so much easier to feel-test animations at different rates.
- Inline property preview + animated property count indicator: this might be the most controversial one, but the keyframe bar space feels genuinely wasted right now for no good reason. Showing the property name and value range inline (like Opacity 0 → 100), plus a small dot indicator for how many properties are animated on that layer - would make the timeline way more informative. And if only one property is animated, or multiple are sharing the same value, allow editing it directly on the bar.
Hope this concept gives a better picture of what I mean. Either way, super excited to see where Figma Motion goes from here! It's already fantastic and I can't wait to see what's next.
