Motion adds custom styles, audio, text animations and Lottie export
- What changed
- Figma Motion gained reusable animation styles, audio on the timeline, character-level text animation and Lottie export.
- Why it matters
- Reusable animation styles let motion be specified once and shared, the way colour and type styles already are.
- What to do
- If your team documents motion by hand, try defining your standard durations and easings as animation styles.
How to use it, and what to watch for
Use it for
- Defining standard durations and easings once, as animation styles
- Having the agent apply those styles consistently
Be careful with
- Motion added because it is easy, not because it explains a change
- Reduced-motion behaviour, which you still have to specify
Try this workflowCreate three animation styles for your product: quick, standard and emphasised. Apply them to one flow and remove any animation that does not show what changed.
