Learn how to use time triggers to create timed transitions.
With time triggers, you can create transitions between artboards based on time delay and duration.
You can use Time triggers in combination with Actions to create a range of effects such as looping animations, progress bars, and more. Here is an example of Time trigger used with Auto-Animate to create a looping effect.
To create a simple timed transition, perform the following steps:
-
-
Click the connector to view the Interaction panel that appears in Property Inspector and set the following options:
- Trigger: Select Time. If you do not see the Time option, you may not have selected the whole artboard and its title in step 1.
- Delay: Enter the time delay to start the transition. The acceptable range is 0.2-5 seconds.
- Action: Select Transition. You can also use Time trigger with other Actions such as Auto-Animate, Overlay, and Speech Playback to create various effects. Refer Examples to learn how to create looping animation effect.
- Destination: Displays the destination artboard wired in step 1; you can modify if required.
- Easing: Select the easing effect you want to apply on the source artboard.
- Duration: Enter the duration of the easing effect to indicate the time span of the easing effect. The acceptable range is 0.2-5 seconds.
XD saves your attributes in the artboard and offers them as the default on further screens.
