Slides: Animate "With Previous" and "After Transition"

Hello,

Excited to start using Figma Slides as a presentation tool. I’m glad to see some animation features here, but two big ones that seem to be missing are “With Previous” and “After Transition” on object animations. The current options are “On click” and “After Previous,” but I often want a bunch of disparate objects to animate at the same time rather than in sequence. I can get around this by grouping those objects together, but that makes editing and general organization a pain. “With Previous” would solve for this.

“After Transition” applies to animations that I want to happen as soon as the new slide loads. Again, I can overcome this by using “On Click” and try to remember to quickly double-click when an affected slide is loaded, but that causes awkward pauses in motion.

Thanks for your consideration!

We want to be able to send a presentation to a client via a link, rather than exporting as a PDF. To add nice, clean animation in would require the user to click multiple times. The “After transition” animation option is a must!

Simultaneous animations would be great. Sometimes you want to cross fade things, rather than having one fade out and then the next one fade in.

It also seems a bit crazy that I can’t add multiple animations to a single object on a given slide. What if I want to fade something in, and then fade it out again later in the sequence?
