Support vector animations in "smart animate"

My comment was simply about the topic being in the wrong category. I could’ve worded it better though.

Check out this file I made: Prototyping Tips & Hacks | Figma Community, it contains some of those animations done with masks.

This is not vector animation. It’s an object property on an object. In this case – the ellipse object. All other properties of the object in the property panel animate. It should animate when the names of the objects match, Just like all other properties.

I’d consider this a bug in smart animate.

Exact same experience for me this week, and today is the 28th of January 2023.

Just switched from XD to Figma, and this is the only feature that I am deeply missing. Haven’t decided yet if I’m going to move my whole team over to the product yet - would love an update to know the intention here. (4/10/23)

Any update on this @Figma_Support ?

Right now it’s the only thing that is preventing me and my team from transitioning to Figma from XD. I’m using path transitioning/morphing in my prototypes pretty often and lack of it is an absolute blocker.

Nothing on this yet?

Just found this, and 2 years later, surprised no support yet. ☹

This is definitely a bug for Smart Animate. Has anyone contacted support and sent them this forum post? I’d encourage you to do so if not. @Mr.Biscuit did you?

Yes, it’s a shame because this isn’t something new. I’d be happy to have it with the requirement that both shapes have the same number of points.

Animating objects along a curve would be a welcome feature too.

I am wondering if Figma Prototype can do object/path morphing, like an example I attach below, I think it would be awesome for better Prototype result, and also useful for creating beautiful animation to be converted as Lottie.
