How To Make Animated Transitions In Figma

Hi, everyone see this big bird's nest that turns into this magic. You ready? The phaeton D slide in a little bit later. OK. So that's what we build we're gonna do instead of just doing animation like we've been doing. It's the same thing, but we're kind of building out a page like a page transition. Ok. No, page peels, unfortunately. But there is, yeah, we can do something almost as good. All right. Let's page peel into it. Ok. Uh So we don't wreck our home page. I'm just gonna move it down here and this is where our uh um giant messy um, page starts, well, continues. OK. So we've got our home page. Let's call this thing something different. So we're going to call this one now animation. So the way this works is basically we need a placeholder page. Yeah, we're gonna have to string a few of them together to get that animation. So, uh the first thing we're gonna do is between the, actually not between those two pages, between that one and this one come with me copy down here, paste. Now...

, I'm gonna have mine a bit further apart at the moment just because I'll show you one of it. So I want this page, I'm gonna switch to prototype now. I've been just clicking the buttons over here. OK? If you start getting a bit like shortcut, like, hey, what is it? OK. Remember the shortcut? Is the command or control forward slash? And you can start typing it in like prototype panel. OK? And you saw it there, see the little shortcut, OK? It was option nine or alt nine on a PC. And if you look at your keyboard, hold down the option key on a Mac alt key on a PC. Tap 890890. They're all next to each other along the top of your keyboard. You see design prototype inspect. Also don't forget that there's this little guy down here, OK? And keyboard shortcuts. And that's actually just really well laid out and grouped and they've highlighted the best ones and this one's under view. Where is it? These three weren't these ones blue? I think it's just to show importance. OK? Of the most useful ones. So do keep cast your eye over the blue ones, probably the ones you're gonna want. So I'm going to go actually, what I might do is just break a few of these just because it's a bit messy. It's going back up to the top thing. It's not what I want right now. OK. So what I want to do is say when I click, learn more. I want you to go here to the kind of product details page on tap. I'm gonna use an animation of like push. That's what I used in this one. It doesn't matter uh easing. Let's just give it a preview and let's rename this flow here. So instead of ecommerce flow, this is gonna be my animation. Hello, Copeland's play it from here. Alright. No more. We OK. So that's what I'm gonna start with and I want this to build like I saw before. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna have to have two pages. Can I separate them out again? And basically there's gonna be nothing on this page that's kind of the main takeaway for this course or this video is that when you're doing kind of transitions you probably want to start in for an empty screen and remember we can't have an empty screen. We need to have things off screen or totally transparent. And what I would like to do is have maybe this first block slide in. So these guys I'm gonna push off, we're gonna have to make this way bigger. Remember if they are selected, you can tidy them up and then you can grab the gap in between if you've got a lot of them. OK? So I've got some space not duplicating, I'm just holding shift so they slide off this way you, I'm not sure where I got that thing from that was my footer. Now, in this case, I could, I want to group these now. Ok, because I haven't grouped them before. They should really be components, but we made these earlier in the class. Now, I'm not going to, I'm going to leave them all as this kind of ugly bits and pieces. Why? Because there are bits and pieces over here. Are they room nine? Actually, they're not, they're all together. Ok. Forget me. OK? So you can go over there, you can go over there just be careful when you are gripping them. They don't need to go over there, do they? Nobody can really see them on the first screen. But hey, let's be official. Same with you guys. I'm gonna get you guys to start you, you, you over here and I'm gonna get you start over here and I'm gonna get you probably just to feed in. So I'm gonna start it by fading it out and hit zero on my keyboard capacity set to 0 100%. Um Maybe there is, let me know in the comments if there is a set to a zero, I know there's a set to 100%. How do we not know this? Maybe there's not one. OK. And you can fade in as well. So zero. Cool. So I'm kind of projecting here. I'm saying that I want these things to slide in from these sides. OK? I want that to fade in and what I'm gonna do is over here. Actually, let's preview that just to make sure we've got everything working. So we're gonna click the button, it's gonna go here and then nothing's gonna happen, right? It's just gonna get stalled. OK? So uh for a reset, let's go learn more. OK? And it just sits there. So what I need to do is add a bit of timing. You are going to prototype mode. Let's use our sweet new shortcut. Let remember option on a Mac O on A PC. OK. And type nine prototype. This one is going to go where you can drag that out or you can say I want to add direction. This is uh not tap. I want to say that on delay. We don't want to go, I want it to go to there we go to what page. What did I name this one? I have to do some bit of naming animation, product details, like animation, product details, the so you, you, you delay go to animation, product details. Thank you very much. OK. It's going instant as well. Let's go to smart animate. OK. So let's give it a preview. Now let's ask for a reset you after time it's gonna fade in. It's not what I want. I want it to slide in. So I want you now, why aren't they in there? You might be screaming at the screen going. He didn't put them all in the original frame OK. It's one of the things when you are dragging it out. I wish there was a um they haven't Photoshop. Um One where you can say you do not leave this frame. There's an option in here says do not, you know, leave the parent frame when I drag you. Even if I say even I've kind of drag you out. Hopefully that will come in the future. It might be there now have a check. So all of this. So I need everything to be an animation product. A so I'm going to grab you guys and move it in. Let's do all of this stuff first. So all of that is gonna go inside of now. If I drag this, can you see it's missing those. If I drag those inside animation a under the scrolls part, did it leave the parents behind? It did. So I need you, you is that it those guys came along, some of them are already still in there. So let's get them all in the same part. Alright. Let's give her a preview now so that those guys should work and reset, play. Cool. So those slide in these things aren't part of it. The only reason I left these separately is that if I drag them in, in the wrong order. So if I go, you, you, you and you and so what is it tab? Let's grab the parent frames. OK. Plus U if I drag them in and I select them weirdly or I drag that one in first, let's say, and add it to animation under the scrolling part then fixed is this nav, we don't want it to be fixed and then drag these in on top. Can you see what's going to happen? You might not, but the tabs. Oh Actually you drag it underneath by accident. Let's have a look, click, pause slides in the layer order was around the wrong way for a sec. Let's refresh that one. It's a little hard to see back back. I'm using my back and actually you can't really tell the transition, but you might find that if you start them behind, they have to kind of some stage flip to be on top. Ok? They're on top over here but just know that you just make sure your layer order is it's not important like it doesn't break the animation, but you might find that for part of the transition, these guys are gonna be underneath it. Does that make sense? Why not? Anyway? Where do we go going? Um back forward arrow? OK. So that's kind of what I want and I want these guys to happen later on. So the trick for that is that we, you know, there's everything has to be timed at the same time to come in. Now this is only two for fig A. It's not something I made super clear in the last videos, you know, everything's kind of tied together when you actually go out to build this Apple website, the developer has, you know, they can control all the timing at any stage. OK. So this is just a limitation for fig A at the moment, there are ways around it. If you get there are some timeline animation plugins. Proto pies is another thing that you can export your fig files to and kind of do more complex animations. But outside of the scope of this course, just know that all of this happening at one time. It's only because that's what fig A does. Alright. Next thing is is I want these not to be in, OK? So what I'm gonna do is be clever and duplicate this first. OK? Because the trouble with doing it afterwards, I'll have to try and you know if I move all these off and then duplicate it, I have to try and move them back in where they were. So what I'm gonna do is say you frame 11 give us some more space. You can be off still inside details be you can be off. Oh look how messy this is getting and these guys are off a frame anyway, that can be seen. So we start, it pushes over to an empty screen. This thing builds and then the difference between this and this are these guys and they start it over here and should slide in. Give it a go no frame 11 is not in the right thing. Animation B scrolls. So with 99, you need to be inside animation B scrolls. Now give it a go uh play. Well, one thing we're missing, come on pop quiz. Why isn't that moving to the next one? We just did it, we did it right. I swear we did. Except we didn't say you what, what happens after this just sits there. OK? We need to say you my friend prototype member option or alt nine. OK? We can say you go there and on tap. Nope, I want you to go after a delay. Go there. How long this smart animated? Please ease out. Let's get it to ease in and let's do it in and out and back just for just for Googles. All right, let's preview it now because I didn't select anywhere. It's gonna just preview the first homepage. So I'm gonna go to headphones, animation. No animation flow. OK? And let's go to learn more. OK? So there you go. Um What we might do for this one is that ease in and back because there's so much more going on. Uh We might have to increase this. OK? So click, drag it. If you're unsure, just type it in, it's gonna take 1.5 seconds ish. Other thing we might do before we go and clean it up is I'm gonna click on prototype, have nothing selected and you can drag these around. I feel like my animation flows needs to be there. I have no idea what flo one is so you can select it and delete it. OK? This feels more consistent. Let's go refresh you. Oh slides in these, they felt better better. OK? So those are page transitions. You just have to have potentially what, what you wanna do, you have an empty page and then kind of build it on every single page. If you want different timing, if you obviously want it all to come together at the same one, you can jump from this one all the way over here. All that is how to do page transition animations in fig. Let's get on to the next video.
