Framer Introduces Time-Based Springs for Simpler Animations

Posted on September 11, 2024

Framer has unveiled a streamlined approach to spring transitions with its latest update. The new time-based springs system reduces complexity by focusing on just two key properties: Time and Bounce. This simplification makes it significantly easier for designers to create fluid transitions and seamlessly integrate springs with easing animations.

The update particularly benefits those working with animation sequences, as the duration-controlled springs provide more predictable timing. While embracing simplicity, Framer maintains flexibility by keeping physics-based springs accessible through a single click for users who require more granular control.

This enhancement reflects Framer's commitment to making sophisticated animation tools more accessible while preserving advanced functionality for power users.
