Multiple after delay animation between 2 frames

Hello community,

I am new to Figma and I am trying to use the smart animate feature between two frames using the after delay trigger. The current animation effect is ease out for 2000ms with a delay of 500ms. I am moving an object from bottom of the frame to the top of the frame in this animation.

I now want to move another object from bottom to the middle of the frame with a different animation effect (ease in and out for 4000ms). I want it to start along with the previous animation, i.e. with an after delay trigger set to 500ms.

Can anyone help me out with the process or is this not possible currently? I have been able to achieve the first animation. But the second after delay does not trigger and the second animation is replacing the first if i reduce the delay timer.

Hi @Akshar_Ghosh, Thanks for reaching out about this!

You can set multiple animations to a single trigger, but they will play sequentially, one after the other. Unfortunately, due to current limitations, starting multiple animations simultaneously isn’t possible.

For more details on this, you can check out here: Multiple actions and conditionals - Animation order

One workaround could be to use the “After delay” option with multiple identical frames to create the desired effect.
While it might not be exactly what you’re looking for, I found a couple of design files that could give you some insights:

Additionally, this seems like a great suggestion for Multiple actions! When you have a moment, please consider sharing your thoughts with us via: ​​Share an idea - Figma Community Forum

I hope this helps a bit! If anyone else from our community has any additional thoughts or solutions on this topic, please feel free to chime in.

Thanks again for reaching out.

Thank you so much for your response.
While such a feature would make prototyping much more interactive, I understand that these limitations exist. Thank you for the links, I’ll check them out.
