The feature is not complete. Auto animation allows to animate elements but not separately. All elements move in the same time, no way to custom animations...

I too agree that auto animation does not solve this issue. Why not implementing somethin like a light-weight AE with simple keyframe animations... or take a look at the guys and gals of framer x.

I agree with the most recent comments, the issue is not closed.

I suggested a feature that maybe narrows the scope a bit, perhaps making it more manageable and/or specific : simply allowing to specify a "triggered" state on UI elements, which would be toggled on click.

That would be better than duplicating whole artboards in order to showcase any tiny interaction, as shown in the video posted by Demian (heart icon button use case).

Please let me know if has to be merged or closed in favor of another request.

Auto-animations are not the same as this request, we are talking about something like Principle individual animations. This request is really important.

I want to add my voice to those already concerned about this feature not having been actually completed.

1) Screen transitions are not the same as element- or micro- animations / Transitions

2) The focus of all new (or existing) XD features are for mobile devices leaving a huge gap in prototyping. In the case of this requested feature, had individual animations been developed, it would have given everyone what they were looking for, regardless of platform

agree that this feature should not be closed, as auto-animations are clearly not the same thing as separate animations for individual elements. I'm sure that the product team at XD is well aware of this.

Though the basic feature is finished, I think it is not really usable for refined animations. There should be a timeline or animate elements individually and refine timings like principle has, the possibility to save timings and animations and paste them to other elements on different artboards, create components for animations, etc...

Whoaa Damian, auto-animate is NOT a solution for animating elements SEPERATELY. Don’t close this feature!

It would be great to export the animated elements into JSON files like Lottiefiles. Using the power of auto animate.

javascript interaction

Needed!!

It's now 2018 and InVIsion Studio, ProtoPie and Principle all have much more engaging animation tools to prototype motion interactions. Your engineering team already has Flash and After Effects to tap into for an animation toolset for the prototype workflow. Why is this taking so long? Motion interaction is what most clients want to see next after simple navigation is mocked up. XD has been in production since 2012 after failed attempts of Muse. With this production rate, we may not see it until 2020.

Also take a look at Framer X - they have a more code orientated aproach on animations and interactions. Since animation sure have to be implemented via JS, why not giving both opportunities (working with timelines, coding your animation).

Simple on click animations would be such a huge improvement for XD.

Yes, I am looking forward to see "blinking" image/text

wow, animations should be supported by default. We were able to do all these things 20 years ago in Adobe flash, (or Macromedia flash before that)... What is happening Adobe?? I now have to use something like Protopie in the meantime, is that our only option?

Adobe team could do a great work while they have specialty in animation.

Fading/Rotating/Scaling animations definitely needed.

Please guys. We need it!

This actually is a huge need. been 2+ years so please guys.
