Smart Animate is a Figma plugin that allows you to animate your designs with ease. It’s simple to use and you can create complex animations with just a few clicks. Here’s how it works:
First, you need to install the plugin. You can do this by going to the Plugin Manager (File > Plugins) and searching for Smart Animate. Once you’ve installed the plugin, you’ll see a new menu item called Smart Animate in the left sidebar.
To create an animation, simply select the layers that you want to animate and click the Smart Animate button. A dialog box will appear where you can choose the type of animation that you want to create. There are four types of animations:
- Entrance Animations: These are animations that happen when a layer is first shown on the screen. For example, you could have a layer slide in from the left or fade in from transparent.
- Exit Animations: These are animations that happen when a layer is removed from the screen.
For example, you could have a layer slide out to the right or fade out to transparent.
- State Change Animations: These are animations that happen when a layer’s state is changed. For example, you could have a button change color when it’s clicked or have an image change when it’s hovered over.
- Interaction Animations: These are animations that happen when two layers interact with each other. For example, you could have one layer move closer to another layer when they’re hovered over.
Once you’ve selected the type of animation that you want to create, you can further customize it by choosing the duration, easing, and delay. You can also add an animation loop if you want your animation to repeat indefinitely.
When you’re happy with your animation, simply click the Create Animation button and watch as your design comes to life!
