  1. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this

When using PROTOTYPE > INTERACTIONS > DELAY > AFTER DELAY > 10000ms

  1. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)

DURATION can’t go further than 10000ms

  1. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation
    (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc.

Would be great to be able to have more time for delays!
100000 max?
1000000? 🙂

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

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.

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.
