From what I can see animate only works from slide to slide as a transition. But there’s limited animate options and I would like to stagger or animate individual areas of slides. Is that possible? If I had say 4 blocks of objects/text/pictures or something it would be nice to animate each individually after the other to bring my slide content more to life.


Also, it would be nice in Grid View if you could select a slide and drag to add similar animations right there.


Auto animate after delay doesn’t seem to be available either. Given limited animation features I’m adding some duplicate slides and using smart animate between them but I have to click or use spacebar to trigger each slide. Wish you could choose animate, type of animation and after delay or normal slide click progression.

+1 Need this as well. PowerPoint does have this, so why won’t we implement this minimum feature in Figma slides?


Hey All, thanks for the feedback!


We’ll pass this onto the Slides team for future consideration.


The slides product is very promising, but this is a key missing feature!


Some tools only offer limited animation options, so you can’t stagger or individually animate objects like you want. While duplicating slides and using smart animate is a clever workaround, having to click or use the spacebar to trigger each slide can feel a bit clunky. It would definitely be nice if you could set animations to trigger automatically with a delay or manage them easily from a grid view.


Yes please, this is much needed for designers who needs to pass on presentations to their marketing counterparts who aren’t as familiar with Figma controls. The animation triggers need to feel seamless and easy to manage! TY!


Literally Figma Design is better for presentations than Figma Slides.


This is such a key feature in my opinion—when presenting, you don’t want to reveal everything all at once. It can come across as overwhelming for the audience and isn’t the best design approach. Honestly, I think this would be more valuable than the AI-generated text, just saying! 😊 Any updates on when this might be included?
