If Figma Motion gains the ability to work with imported video, especially to control the start and pause of the animation, it will greatly expand what’s possible for web animations — particularly for scroll‑based animations.

Our team is part of a larger organization, and all our Figma files are in one Figma Team for which I am a team admin. We have some Default Libraries set for the entire team, but need the additional ability to set Default Libraries for specific project folders. I’m not seeing the settings to do this right now.

As of today there is no way (at least I have seen none) to loop an animated instance inside another frame. If I try to duplicate the bar it just duplicates the component itself. Ideally would be nice to (just like in garage band with tracks) make the timeline of the instance larger so that it can repeat itself indefinitely. Cant make the purple bar longer. No looping for me I guess 

The new DevMode annotations tool is Awesome!!! Having lots of annotations tends to clutter up the screen on the design side, however, and it would be nice to be able to toggle their visibility on and off like with comments or multiplayer cursors. I had assumed that hiding comments would hide these as well, but such is not the case.

So I find that i am constantly losing slides due to super easy delete slide action (just clicking on delete or backspace will remove a whole slide when nothing is selected)compared to any other slides editor this is a problem I found only on Figma slides. what do you guys think? anyone else is having the same issue? 

The problemAnnotations are really helpful but when I have a series of screens next to each other, the annotations overlap those screens next to them. Potential solutionWhat if when annotations are not selected, they reduce in visual size so that they don’t overlap other screens next to them. They could reduce down to smaller circles, maybe with numbers so that they are easier to reference? That way the dots can sit alongside a screen with a much smaller chance of overlapping the screens next to them.See screenshot reference as inspiration.

I really love the new Figma Motion workflow! It is great not having to go somewhere else to create animations and export them back into Figma.Though a feature that most other animation programs/online services have that Motion does not is timeline snapping. Being able to snap the cursor (and keyframes) to certain time intervals is an easier way to synchronize animations than simply snapping independent keyframes to one another, in my opinion. It is annoying how imprecise setting new keyframes in relation to others is currently.So it would be great if this could be implemented. Maybe even an input field specifying the snapping resolution in preferences or something? (like every 50ms, 100ms, etc)

I wish there were a "Reset Slot" button next to the slot that has a "Modified" tag. This could help me a lot to reduce the steps to reset the slot. I guess while building this feature, the dev team might have guessed this action is not welcome for the slot. But in some scenarios, for example, I want to reset the slot whenever I accidentally change something in the slot, which causes the slot to freeze and not receive new updates.  

Select matching layers (with shortcut ⌥⌘A) is not working on layers inside Slots.The option is greyed out in the command menu (image below).I’ve double-checked that both layers have the same structure & naming.It would be extremely valuable to have this option available inside Slots, since most screens I'm working on take advantage of slots for reusability.  

Please add support in Figma Motion to timeline-sync and export video fill playback alongside animated object/text layers. Right now I can animate text and other properties, but I cannot keyframe or trigger a background video fill to play as part of the exported animation, which blocks deliverables and forces extra editing outside Figma. I understand I can auto-play in prototyping but that only gets me so far — I need the background video to play with the export. A native way to start, sync, and export simple video fill playback inside Motion would make this workflow much more usable. Is there a way to make this happen or a workaround (maybe a plugin) all within Figma?

Hi all, A lot of the time when I’m presenting designs, I will either put together a static slide deck with annotations, or I will walk through the interactive prototype in Figma. One downside with using the interactive prototype is that it’s not possible to annotate designs, in order to show notes and give people a better understanding of what I’m presenting. I understand that comments can be added, and ideally I would talk through the design myself, but having annotations that are constantly visible would be a great help. I noticed Adobe XD has this, as it displays a panel on the right hand side with all notes. Figma has this feature in Design mode, but when in Prototype mode, these comments can only be viewed one at a time. Does anyone else have this issue? Are there any plugins or workarounds that people have used to get around this? Thanks in advance!

It would be very useful to have an “Auto” font size option, so the text inside a sticky note automatically resizes based on the note’s dimensions. This is a feature available in Miro, and it makes a lot of sense for sticky notes, especially when working with boards that include notes of the same sizes.

When picking colors I’m always working in the HSL color system. When I want to change a color it makes so much more sense for me to be able to adjust the hue, saturation, or/and lightness rather than thinking about how edits to RGB might work, or trying to mentally decode hex values. Often I’ll want a color of a similar saturation & brightness but a different hue. Or a color of the same hue & saturation but different brightness. But in the Figma UI it defaults to showing hex values in the sidebar (or a color style name where the values are completely hidden unless I drill down): Hex values can be useful for developers (although lately we’ve just been using HSL in our CSS), but is not very useful to me when designing except for the rare case when I’m copy/pasting a hex value from somewhere else. It’s certainly not the primary way I want to see / work with colors. I’d love it if that display of HEX values in the UI was instead HSL. And secondarily, I’d love it if when a color s

When I have a layer or layers selected and I hit ⌥L to Collapse Layers, I always have to scroll up to find my selected layers.Ideally, the scrollport would remain focussed on the selected layers, if not the first.I think this is a regression, I’m sure it previously worked like this.

Ability to flag components as deprecated within Library or Design File Use “check design” feature to audit deprecated instances in current design deliverable. Alternatively use AI to run a similar reviewCurrently we are renaming the component by adding a suffix (Deprecated) so we can search for instances within the page.

Create a way to create short links (URLs) for sharing frames, prototypes, etc.

I'd love to have access to built-in variables that expose a frame's dimensions, allowing them to be referenced anywhere in a design.For example:{width} → 1080 {height} → 1920 {size} → 1080 × 1920This would make it possible to automatically display the size of an asset in labels, documentation, exports, or templates without manually updating the text every time a frame is resized.Besides saving time, this would reduce manual errors and eliminate the need to constantly double-check frame sizes, especially when working with large numbers of assets or ad creatives. It would help ensure that labels and documentation always stay in sync with the actual frame dimensions.Something like this.resized.

It doesn’t look like there’s an obvious way to change the order of exposed nested instances. Right now the order seems to be based on reverse layer order. It’d be great if the order can be manually adjusted.

We have a design system set up with tokens (variables) to enable all components to switch between light and dark mode. For developers/viewers to see what a screen should look like in Dark mode, we have to duplicate that screen. But as an editor I can set the colour mode variable at the Page level to Dark and all screens on the canvas/page turn to dark mode. If developers/viewers could also do this, I could delete the dark mode duplicates of every screen and only have one copy of each screen, defaulted to light mode, and then just toggle dark mode as needed. This would be much more efficient on memory usage and maintenance.

So, we have Frames, Groups, and Sections, but I am still missing something. The next level of structuring: swim lanes to get a better overview of users in a flowchart. I’ve recorded what I mean from another software, and it’s pretty spot on! The neat feature is that the label of the swim lane remains fixed to the left when zooming and moving up and down the lanes. This makes it very easy to see where I am in the user flow as a specific user. Problem Definition: It is difficult to see which user in a flowchart I’m looking at. There is a need to have a prefix on every Section or Frame that clarifies which user the actual screen correlates to, i.e., Resident login screen, Supplier login screen. Request: Possibility to create a Swimlane, just like a Section but where the name gets fixed to the left when panning/zooming the canvas. And maybe later on, the possibility to collapse and expand swim lanes? And maybe later on, possibility to collapse and expand swim lanes?

Dear Figma Support Team, I am writing to inquire about the current support for color fonts in Figma. As a designer, I greatly appreciate the versatility and creative possibilities that color fonts bring to my work. I have recently been experimenting with various color font formats, such as OpenType-SVG and COLR/CPAL, which allow for intricate multi-colored typography. However, I have encountered some challenges when attempting to utilize these fonts within Figma’s design environment. It appears that Figma currently lacks full support for color fonts, as I have experienced difficulties with the proper rendering and editing of these fonts within the platform. It would be immensely beneficial if Figma could extend its capabilities to fully embrace color fonts, enabling designers like myself to fully explore the potential they offer. Color fonts have become increasingly popular, allowing for more expressive and engaging designs across various mediums. With their ability to incorporate vibr

When rebuilding or refactoring a component set, there's currently no straightforward way to seamlessly migrate existing instances to the new version if the original component set needs to be deleted.I'd love a feature that allows designers to map a replacement component (or component set) before deleting the original. When the updated library is published, Figma would automatically replace all instances of the old component with the new one.To make migration more reliable, Figma could:Match and transfer properties with the same names. Preserve nested content by matching layer names (e.g. icons, labels, badges). Use AI/Figma Make capabilities to intelligently recreate the visual state of the old instance using the new component structure. Provide a migration preview showing any instances that couldn't be mapped automatically.Example:I rebuild an entire Button component set to improve the structure and variants. Rather than manually updating hundreds of instances or maintaining the old c

I’m working on motion graphics for a sequence of multiple hints in a video game I work on. I explain the issue in detail in this video: It’s incredibly tedious to have to change the position of the shape and then do the distance math to adjust its height because it’s unwilling to simply grow in a different direction. It really feels like I should just be able to grab the top layer bound and expand the height of the shape upward without all of this tedious crap.

Trying to take advantage of Figma Sites for our agency. It would help to have a pagination in Figma Sites CMS lists. I’m thinking of porting the articles and 100+ items on one page would be a terrible idea. Trying to see if someone else would love to have that feature?

We would love to be able to name a collection and set the default within the collection, rather than having the parent level of the collection be the name or the collection and the default.
