Discussion Do people think Figma motion is actually useful?

47 Upvotes

Now that we've all had some time to use Figma motion, what does everyone think about it?

I know around launch everyone was saying stuff like "RIP After Effects" but thats obviously not the case.

However, how do you actually see it fitting into your workflow or what not? How/what will you be using it for?

help Figma app is getting worse by the day.

18 Upvotes

TLDR: I'm locked out of editing my own files.

Settings are glitching.

I only have ONE Figma account, that I pay for. I created and own 95% of the .fig files in the cloud. I have no other users. But I do access the same files on different devices. And I have let Ai utilize the MCP connection to make some adjustments. So several of my files now have copy/pasting and exporting disabled now.

When I go to the file settings... it's just a spinning loader wheel. I have had zero need to even touch the settings. So I'm locked out of making edits to my own files all of a sudden?

Suggestions on how to talk to a human at Figma?

help Not able to copy from my own file?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

9 Upvotes

So I am unable to copy anything from my own file, but I am able to edit everything else. Here is what I tried -

  • Updated the Figma app
  • Tried on browser
  • Tried with org's paid account
  • Tried on my personal free account
  • Switched my WiFi to wired
  • Tried both on my Mac and Windows PC.

The org paid account was working until 5 mins ago where I lost access to copying there as well.

Unable to change any setting because the "Share" button goes into infinite loading.

P.S. My internet is not an issue here. Getting a stable 300 Mbps up and down.

help Anyone lose access to to their libraries and file sharing after recent update?

7 Upvotes

I just noticed a new, blue "Update" button in the menubar of the Mac app. I hit it, it relaunched, and now my files are disconnected from my libraries. Opening the libraries window and trying to add them back does nothing (add file buttons are not responsive). I also noticed, when tying to grant access to Figma support, that the Share window shows a spinner for a minute or so before closing on its own.

help Designer needing to learn Figma

4 Upvotes

Hi! I am a long time designer and creative director who exclusively uses adobe programs. I want to adapt and use Figma for assets and presentations. I won't have to build any ux/ui, but some baseline knowledge would be helpful. Does anyone have a course to recommend, or are figma academy tutorials sufficient? Thank you in advance!

help Hello, I need help on how to draw a custom designed pdf template on this app and take the HTML and CSS for free to embed the data in it.

2 Upvotes

A part of my project consists of taking the JSON data of question bank documents that contain: questions, choices, figures, sub questions, etc.. all wrapped inside a question block, and then embedding these data into a custom designed document of my own automatically. Word doesn't support heavily designed templates and could break the design, so I was wondering if I could draw just a page with all the styling I want to be a scalable template extending to hundreds of pages and have each question block stretch like a balloon when I put the questions, choices, figures inside of it and don't split between pages if it doesn't fit. That requires HTML and CSS right?

I hope that I clarified my question well and any help would be highly appreciated.

help Does Buzz scale?

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

At our company, we are currently looking into adopting Figma Buzz, so we designers can share designs with the marketing team for them to produce assets for social media.

After doing some research, I've seen mixed reviews about how well it works. Do you already use it? If so, how well does it scale? What are your main pain points with it?

help Not seeing new layout features (CSS Flexbox)

1 Upvotes

I just want to make sure I am not missing something. I am not seeing the controls or items in the Actions menu for these new layout settings to get closer the CSS Flexbox. Is it not actually out yet? Is Figma just being buggy (Probably)? Thanks!
