The Shift + Space trick while moving the element made my day. I was constantly struggling with this situation, especially while using the auto layout in the whole page. Thanks.
YOU ARE A LIFESAVER! Currently freelancing on the side of my full-time product job and my project just called for this type of animation, I volunteered to do it despite having zero xp with scroll animations (the ol say yes to client and secretly learn on the side trick!) This tutorial helped me power through the imposter's syndrome, thank you
The explanation is very detailed and easy to follow. It's the best explanation i have ever seen on UA-cam . Thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏 and I am so happy that i found your Chanel
Thanks this was a great tutorial! Can I ask you something? When you say that we wouldn't do this on a client's project, is it because it's too fancy or because the developer would not be able to replicate it?
I forgot when I said it and what was the reference, can you share the timestamp? Now with scroll animations being popular, I can definitely see a client requesting this.
@@AMDesignAndDev thanks for answering! You mention it once at 0:55, and I think you repeated it again in the video. I just wanted to understand if I could do this "trick" and pass it on to a developer
@@KuyaGameAstroneer got it, what I meant there was that the prototype is not for a client, because inorder for the prototype to work correctly, you need to have your point on the top of the frame. A client wouldn’t know to do that. That’s what I meant. You can record yourself however and share it with a client or a developer no problem.
Thank you so much for this! I have tried to figure it out but not work until found this the video, also tricks Space+Shift make blows my mind! Amazing work!
Me gusto mucho el video, en español no encontré nada que explique lo que quería hacer, y vos lo haces de una manera muy simple. Me ayudaste mucho. Gracias.
Cool breakdown to show how to utilise smart animate to bring each section to life. This is cool for interaction design but starts to get a bit messy for developer handover and all the variants of the section. Any tips for how to cater for dev handover?
I can't seem to get past the first part with the sections. Right now, my dektop frame is all in one big frame. Am I suppose to make separate, individual frames and then make up the full desktop frame after? Hope that question made sense..
everything works perfectly thank you! but the buttons within those components animated are not working to navigate to a diferent page. what should I do please? :c
hi after doing layout 13:16 i am unable to drag the pics, its selecting entire frame, i have ungrouped but also its not coming, im keep on trying it its not coming, what it could be the reason, please let me as soon as possible i will be waiting for your reply designer🙂
On 2:37, How you selected "Intro Section" component and "Final" variant together? bcoz I can only select only one. I can't select both om them together.
Thanks this was a great tutorial! and it helped me a lot Can I ask you something? I did everything you said in video but now the last thing i want to do is the navigation bar so when i press about us it has to go to about us section but i cant to it in prototype can you tell me how should add it ? i hope you understand what i mean.
Thank you AM Design for sharing this amazing video . could you please make same content a full detail video for us beginner . that will be so helpful . one more time thank you .
Here's my official Figma paid course which you can check out on: www.asaadmahmood.com/courses/figma-noob-to-pro Use AMSUBSCRIBER voucher to get a 50% off. I can’t wait to see you all inside.
Awesome video! But I feel it’s good you clip the mask of the frames so the animations would happen inside the container. The contents moves in from outside the container but if it’s clipped, it would move with the container. I hope you get me
How do you achieve a trigger animation when a page scrolls to the center of the screen on a mobile? Because Mouse Enter doesn't work on mobile. Thanks!
Awesome tutorial, exactly what I need to do for my portfolio. But I have one question: how exactly do you share this on behance/dribble? Since Figma cannot export prototype to video/gif or whatever...
hi thank you for the tutorial i learned a lot and you are very clear. i am a beginner web designer and i am confused because you keep mentioning you wouldn't give this to a client. what would you give to a client if you wanted to submit to them a scroll animation? what are my other options and why isn't this a viable one for client work? what would be ideal for client work? what if i did want to make a scroll animation for a client. what would i do and which software would i use and how would i give it to them. a little confused and hoping you can explain to me what you meant. thanks!
You do not give this to a client because inorder for this to work, the client needs to place his mouse in a particular location, which doesn't happen. For a client, I can record a video and show it to him to explain the behaviour. If the client wants to play with the scroll effects by himself, I'd maybe even convert this to Framer and send it to him.
@@AMDesignAndDevthank you for the quick reply. I don’t understand why the clients mouse wouldn’t be in the position for it to work though? My mouse is in the position when I scroll through so why wouldn’t theirs be? I think I’m missing something? Also, is there a quick way to convert this file to framer or would I have to manually rebuild it in framer? Is there a client friendly system on framer that I could give to the client to view and play with this animation? One that Figma doesn’t have? Do you happen to have any videos that would sort of help educate me a bit on framer or submitted client work or anything like this so I have a better understanding of the back end system of this stuff. It seems I just am seeing web design tutorials which I’ve been doing and they are fun, but I don’t seem to know the practical side of actually using and sharing them for client work for example. Thanks again!
The course is not just about prototyping and animations, its more about learning figma and more important things like autolayout, components, variants, variables, and advanced prototyping etc.
I had the same problem first. But then, figured it out: 1) This doesn't work : Press shift + space at the same time and try to move the element. This will end up moving the canvas, just like it happens when you just press the space and drag the canvas around. 2) This works: First click and select the element. Then, press shift. While you are still pressing the shift, move the element slightly. Like few pixels. Do not release the element yet (you are still pressing the shift and left button of the mouse) And then, on top of these two, press space and keep dragging. That should do the trick.
Why doesn't this work for me? it refuses to show the prototype when I use the variants and says a frame is required to play. when I frame it, it shows up as a blank screen and doesn't change
@@AMDesignAndDev I'm having a similar issue, I'm not able to create a flow starting point from a variant - so I can't see the prototype. Any idea how could I solve this?

Same situation here! First time freelancing.
That is how you get better and more experienced, by learning new tricks that are applicable in real work scenarios.

hi from Turkey, thank you for this best figma animation lesson
Thank you, I hope you and your family are safe in turkey, my prayers are with you all :(

It's amazing! Thank you for your video!
That's great but what if I want to animate one of the buttons included in the scroll animations?
This was great, learned a lot here, thank you!
After duplicating I can't move any of the element in the component, it drags the entire component
Thank you! You have helped me a lot!
I can't seem to get past the first part with the sections. Right now, my dektop frame is all in one big frame. Am I suppose to make separate, individual frames and then make up the full desktop frame after? Hope that question made sense..
That is correct.
You can only link frames if they are not within existing frames.
@@AMDesignAndDevooh I see! Okay, I’ll try deconstructed the whole frame into smaller pieces then. Thank you!
Awesome video. You have taught a complicated topic in such a simpler way.

In windows shift + space has a different function, Its previewing the frame . Kindly let me know what is the alternative for window users please!
were you abe to get the alternative for windows users? because i am facing the same problem
same for me, any solution yet?
Loved this video!!
Hi, you know how to record the prototype making it seems 'natural'? Recording while using the mouse scroll isn't smooth you know
you are a life saver!
Thank you :) Glad you liked it.
Hey really thanks on this content
I really want to know is that a fn key u use often coz I'm not using mac .
I'm unable to move my component items after making variant 😢
Share your figma file, I can see.
Awesome tutorial, exactly what I need to do for my portfolio. But I have one question: how exactly do you share this on behance/dribble? Since Figma cannot export prototype to video/gif or whatever...
That is really useful brother, I am going to subscribe to you now... I love it 🍻
Thanks bro :)
Yo! This animation is sweet!
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome video with us, you helped me a lot!
Which tool supports 'Scroll Animation'?
how to create an overlapping page effect appearing from below as we scroll ?
Would these animations still work if I export them to a website?
you are rock man!
Oh my gosh thank you soooooo much!!!!!!
Hi Sir, scrolling not happening when mouse enters. How to fix this?
Thank you! It's absolutely great tutorial.
Can I know make this into a website?
What's the new shift + space cause it becomes present prototype now? Thank you
It wasn't shift, it was just click + start dragging + press space and keep it pressed.
Can u ask why this can’t be for a client?
Because clients dont really place their mouse in the same place to make this work.
very useful video plz make these kinds of videos thankyou
Awesome, congrats!
Video muito top, muito obrigado pelo aprendizado :)
Ok, now that the site is animated and finished, how do you get it on the internet?

how to upload this animation in behance? do we have to copy paste the embed code?
No, you need to record your screen and upload the gif or video.
hey i want to learn all kind of figma animation . plz let me know more about your course
The course is not just about prototyping and animations, its more about learning figma and more important things like autolayout, components, variants, variables, and advanced prototyping etc.
This is so awesome.kindly can you told me how to export this file
You can just duplicate the file.
Thank you much Sir ❤
I tried to use the shift and space on my Mac but it doesn't work for some reason...does anyone know why
very very useful way to get all things
wow! great vedio!
Thanks for video! What's your opinion: what is the best method to do scroll animation of 12 000 pxl height file for export than to mp4?
Doing it with jitter
pure gold!
How can I export this animation prototype ?
You can use a screen recorder
Thank you, really helpfull content
perrrfect, thankss
What's the shortcut to move things outside of frame but still included in the frame? shift +space doesnt work on win
It should work.
Try dragging first slightly, and then press space to make sure the object stays within the frame.
