It would be nice to have the ability to add animations to the elements on the slide instead of only between slides. Of course you could duplicate slides and remove the parts you want to progressively reveal but that could quickly clutter the grid.

Thanks @Aaron_Milton! I retitled your topic a bit for clarity, and passed your request forward on my end 
Feel free to drop any other additional thoughts here if any come up.

The ability to animate and time individual component/elements (Text box, images, etc. ). Currently it is the same as animating between two frames. Thanks!

Right now you can only animate a full slide or all slides. I want to animate certain text to pop up on a click.

More controls around animation are needed. Otherwise Figma Slides is as useful as showing a PDF presentation. 
The current Smart Animate setting are linear and too short.

I second this! I am loving Figma slides so far but the lack of animations renders it basically unusable for me.
When using software like Google Slides and Powerpoint, I often have objects progressively appear as I walk through the slide. For example, if I have three columns with several points each I might have 6-7 animation frames. In Figma slides, this would require the creation and management of 7-8 separate slides, which leads to rapid bloat of the presentation.

Hi @Aaron_Milton, I thought this too. If you had the possibility of animating the elements within the slide, it would be great, you could migrate several projects to Figma Slides

Wow it blows my mind to be on here asking for individual element animations - like did Figma team not realise weâd want the basic functionality of powerpoint or Google Slides? Anyway so back to Google Slides for me

Currently I use components with a delay to start invisible and then fade into a slide but I would love it if I could animate individual objects. Same thing for an object âslidingâ into frame upon moving to the next slide.
If I want a video to play while I make changes to text or visuals near it, I canât really do this without the ability to animate individual items.
Kinda regretting using slides for my presentation because of this.
How are you doing this with the Figma Slide Decks?
I essentially make an âanimationâ in Figma design with one for each frame and turn it into a component set with âafter delayâ set. Then I take an instance and put it in my slide

Yeah! This would be a great feature to have! Iâd love to be able to animate elements individually on Figma, much like what you can do on Google Slides!
