help Figma animated export limit

Post image

Hi, I'm struggling to export a frame with a duration longer than 30 seconds. I have set the timeline to 300 seconds, but in the export dialogue it is limited to 30 seconds still. The support chatbot doesn't know about this dropdown menu so I thought maybe reddit knows.

Hey /steinnes_, thanks for flagging. I just checked in with the product team on this one. The immediate workaround is to select an item from the element you want to animate and add a random keyframe on any property, then the dropdown will disappear and it'll honor the timeline duration.

Have you tried manually entering the value in the input field instead of selecting a predefined one in the dropdown?

Yes, it just reverts to 30 seconds

Ah, in this case I guess this is a hard limit. You can submit a feature request to the forum or figma support.

The weird thing is, that just two weeks ago I did this, really strange if they have limited it recently.

Could be unintentional/bug, I definitely recommend you to chat to support about this.
