Motion System in the LottieFiles Figma
Motion System helps teams create and reuse motion standards across projects.
You can manage colors, easings, fonts, assets, and motion presets in one place and apply them directly in Figma.
Motion Systems can be created in the LottieFiles Platform or directly from the LottieFiles Figma Plugin.
