How Do You Make a Scroll Animation in Figma?

Scroll animations can add a touch of interactivity and visual interest to your designs. If you are using Figma, you might be wondering how to create scroll animations for your prototypes. In this tutorial, we will explore the steps to make a scroll animation in Figma.

Step 1: Create a Frame

To begin, open Figma and create a new frame for your design. You can do this by selecting the "Frame" tool from the toolbar or by using the keyboard shortcut (F).

Step 2: Add Content to Your Frame

Next, add the content that you want to animate when scrolling. This can include text, images, or any other elements that you want to animate.

Tips:

• Bold text can be used to highlight important points.
• Underlined text can be used for emphasis.
• You can use lists (
  and
  • ) for organizing information in a structured way.

  Step 3: Create Interactions

  To create the scroll animation, we will be using Figma's "Prototype" mode. Switch to Prototype mode by clicking on the tab at the top right corner of the Figma interface.

  In Prototype mode, select an element that you want to animate when scrolling. Then, click on the "Interaction" button at the top right corner of the screen.

  Step 4: Set Up Scroll Trigger

  In the interaction settings panel, choose "While hovering" as your trigger type. This will allow your animation to activate when users scroll over the selected element.

  Next, select the action you want to trigger when scrolling. For example, you can choose to animate the opacity, position, or size of the element.

  Step 5: Preview and Fine-tune

  Once you have set up your scroll animation, it's time to preview it. Click on the "Preview" button in the top right corner of the interface to see how your animation looks in action.

  If you need to make adjustments, go back to your design frame and modify the animation settings as needed. Repeat this process until you are satisfied with the result.

  Summary:

  In this tutorial, we have learned how to create a scroll animation in Figma using its built-in prototype mode. By following these steps and experimenting with different triggers and actions, you can create engaging and interactive scroll animations for your designs.
