Fancy Button Hovers For Figma Beginners in 2023

In this quick step by step tutorial we use Smart Animate and Component Sets to create a fancy button hover effect — the right way.

it took me 3 hours but I finally did it. What a nightmare. I had trouble with a) do not drag the text or circle out, use the arrow keys on your keyboard, otherwise the elements detach from that frame, b) make sure absolute position is on when on the text otherwise it won't move, c) make sure you create a component SET and not component, and d) make sure you select ease in and out, not just ease, otherwise it goes wrong.

I'm in the early days by the way. I might try to replicate this tomorrow without the tutorial. Practice makes perfect.

I was struggling with autolayout and doing this kind of animations, and you helped me find the way with ignoring autolayout (within the new updates in 2024)

These videos are extremely helpful. I am very new and honestly most of the videos out there are too long and confusing at times. I love how you explain things to the point yet keeping it so simple. I followed all of the videos in the playlist and for the first time i feel i understand figma much better. Thanks and keep making these videos for people like me!

Ah!.. what a relief! finding this tutorial! Thanks so much for this video. As I have little experience with Adobe XD, I thought it would be easier to figure it out by myself in Figma!! damm, its completely unexpected way! (I feel a little complex though... but ya, I will get used to it)! I wish you good health and wealth, Tim Gabe!

I created a component set as mentioned. Now I am using multiple instances of these components. The problem Im facing is that I am unable to override the text which is hidden (either on the top or bottom) and i am able to edit the text which is visible (in this case the text on the button). So whenever I hover on the button, the hovered state text is coming from the component itself and i want to change it. Can anyone help me..
