When creating dissolve or smart animations the drop shadow and inner shadow properties aren’t animated as expected. Since browsers support animations of this property I hope Figma will fix this.

Example (This should be smoothly animated the focus drop shadow ring)

Hi @Court_Kizer, Thanks for reaching out about this!

​​Currently, Figma doesn’t support smart animate for changes to Effects like shadow and blur. If a property isn’t supported, Figma will apply a default dissolve transition.

It sounds like you’re interested in seeing this feature enhanced, which is great feedback for us! I took a look around in our community and found a similar request here: Support vector animations in “smart animate”
