Adding animated effects at the component level in Framer
In this Framer tutorial, you will learn Adding animated effects at the component level in Framer. We explain a practical workflow, highlight the key settings that affect the result, and show how to apply the technique on real pages for cleaner UX and better site performance.
How can I apply an animation effect to all instances of a component in Framer?
To apply an animation effect to all instances of a component in Framer, open the component’s edit view by double-clicking any instance. Inside the component, select the parent frame of the variant, then add your desired Appear effect in the Effects panel. Because the effect is applied at the component level, every instance across your project will automatically use the same animation.
Can I customize the animation settings for a component-level Appear Effect?
Yes, you can customize the animation settings for a component-level Appear effect. For example, you can start with the fade in preset, adjust the scale (such as setting it to 1.4 or 140%), choose the transition type (like ease out), and set the duration (such as one second). These settings will apply to all instances of the component.
What are the benefits of animating at the component level in Framer?
Animating at the component level keeps your design consistent, makes your workflow more efficient, and allows you to scale polish across your entire project. If you have many instances of a component, applying the animation at the component level ensures all instances are updated automatically, saving you from having to add the effect to each one individually.
