Using the Loop Effect in Framer
In this Framer tutorial, you will learn Using the Loop Effect 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 do I set up a looping animation in Framer?
To set up a looping animation in Framer, select the layer you want to animate, go to Effects, and add the Loop effect. In the modal, you can choose between loop mode (repeats from beginning to end) or mirror mode (repeats from beginning to end and then reverses). Adjust the transformation, such as offsetting the position, and set any desired delay. You can also fine-tune the transition for a more natural motion.
How can I make my looped animation look more natural and less robotic?
To make your looped animation look more natural, change the transition from linear to ’ease in and out’ so the motion starts and stops smoothly. For even more character, use the spring transition and adjust properties like stiffness, mass, and damping to create a playful, physics-based movement.
What should I do if my looped animations are not in sync?
If your looped animations are not in sync, it may be because they are set to pause when offscreen, causing them to start at different times as they come into view. To fix this, set the loop effect to continue playing while offscreen. This ensures all animations stay perfectly in sync, even if the viewer scrolls past them at different times.
