Claude built the animation in my last post inside Figma Motion, through the Figma MCP. I didn't place a single keyframe.
My job was writing direction: which element enters first, where the motion slows down, and how the ending lands. When something felt off, I'd type "the second transition feels rushed" and see it change in Figma.
So the keyframes are Claude's work, and the taste behind them is mine.
Motion designers, how would you brief an animation without touching the timeline?

do you still direct the easing yourself or is that all claude too?
