Prototype delay duration ⏰⏰

Of course that would be nice but how are you going to use such a long delay?

Figma + AnimaApp + long delay = time for games and quizzes! 😎

My company would like a longer delay because we are using this in self driven user testing. 2-3 minutes

I would like the ability to add further delay, so I can autoplay and transition gifs longer than 20 seconds

I would really like longer delays, I think it is a pointless restriction which only makes it harder to design freely.

In my personal scenario 2 minutes would be great.
Just imagine having a view with a 120s timeout, I would like to transition between views to usertest a timeout experience.

Another specific scenario is a timer (progressbar like component) which visualize the countdown to the timeout. I would like to set a full bar and an empty bar variation for the countdown component and use smart animate. Currently I have to do 12 variants to create this specific components, only due to the current 10s restriction… Please fix this asap. Thanks.

Longer delays can provide cross-team use for prototypes; longer delays allow options to explore different levels of user feedback in moments of inactivity for research. In addition, long-time delays are also valuable for the sales and marketing teams as the designer can set screens to display the prototype page by page on background displays at start-up trade shows, client meetings, demonstrations, site embedding, and so much more if you think creatively!

When I use Smart Animate in interactive components, it allows me to enter 10000ms maximum for the duration. I think this area should allow any number (up to 100000). Also, a loop option for the interactive component would be awesome.

And also it’ll be really great if we can automaticaly save animation setting for other screen

The best use case for this is when creating a carousel with let’s say 10 images that loop. I set it up as a frame with 10 images in position start and then a second frame in position end. 10s is way too fast and it looks like the images are zooming to the left in the carousel.

This seems like an arbitrarily unnecessary restriction, why not make it unlimited?

Longer delay abilities also help when we have some other components (which also have animations within themselves) on the page and we want to have the transition only when they’re complete.

I have the exact same use case. Transitioning each image separately is painful…

Making a pan loop BG for a game. I need a very calm and slow camera pan of a tile bg background, but with this cap the “camera man” seems in a rush to finish the job and go home xD

Hey Ignacio, thank you for your feedback! Others in the community have requested something similar. Feel free to leave your feedback and vote here: https://t.co/H1oXsxTzGJ.

Exactly why I need a longer delay.

I have a row of company logos that slide automaticaly, but it still looks too fast for what I need.

also need a longer delay i create a countdown clock and i use the delay to control seconds and minutes , can do minutes

So Is the feature coming or not?

This would be useful for me also, designing a UI for a device that has a 2 minute start up sequence for self test functions etc. I can’t be the only one using Figma to prototype UIs for industrial or scientific equipment that have self test and diagnostic routines prior to activation.

I’m using the delay for a loader in a slide carousel of movies. I show a still for 5 seconds then fade to the trailer. The shortest trailers are 30s. 1m is average.
As you can see, my progress bar only last 10s.

Still no fix for this?

Not sure if anybody has mentioned this before but I was able to get a longer/slower delay when picking Smart Animate > Custom Spring. You can then play around with the Stiffness, Damping and Mass values (in my case I wanted something very slow - S0.1 D10 M100).

Not the best but it does what I needed.

It should be exactly the same like in CSS:

• No limitation
• Support milliseconds (ms) and seconds (s)

See: animation-duration - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDN

Why is Figma artificial limiting us?

yes variables are a huge change ! for the better

Such a frustrating limitation. Interactive components + After Delay just begs for people to try and animate in Figma. Then you hit a 10 second transition duration. Just…why? What is the reason?
