How Do You Animate Typing in Figma?

There's no getting around it: if you want to animate typing in Figma, - you'll have to get creative and follow the guy's advice from the video above. This limitation can be quite frustrating, especially if you want to create an interactive prototype, or emphasize certain elements.

You'll have to look for other solutions. Animating in After Effects, creating a GIF, or even a simple animation in Sketch might be the way to go.

Conclusion

If you're willing to spend the time and manually work on animating letter by letter like the guy in the tutorial above, then go ahead. Other than that - at the moment there's no tool that does it automatically for you in Figma.
