Figma plugin
Motion Composer
A preset-driven animation plugin for native Figma Motion. Real, editable keyframes, not a fake preview.
Figma plugin, runs in dev mode inside Figma itself, no live link to share yet.
Overview
Figma shipped a real Motion timeline as a beta, and Motion Composer is a plugin that writes actual keyframes into it. Select a layer, pick a preset, hit Apply, and it shows up as a normal, fully editable keyframe track in Figma's own Motion panel. No JSON export, no separate preview player standing in for the real thing.
How it works
The whole plugin funnels through one function that talks to the real API: it takes a small preset definition and converts it into applyManualKeyframeTrack calls, skipping any keyframe that wouldn't actually change a value so the resulting timeline stays clean instead of cluttered. It ships with twelve presets across four categories: object entrances like Fade Up and Pop Spring, text effects like Word Reveal, staggered card entrances, and loops like Wiggle and an Infinite Marquee.
What's next
There's an early seed of an "AI Motion Suggestions" feature already in there: cheap structural heuristics that look at what's selected (is it all text? are the frames similarly sized?) to guess which preset probably fits. It isn't doing anything smart yet, but the hook is there.
