Auto Animate transition animating layers that have different names

I created an animated number using an auto animatated bounce transition from 2 different artboards. The number animation works exactly like I want.

  • I have text on the first artboard and removed the text on the second artboart. I also have a button and link that stay in the same place but change copy. I don't want any of this to auto animate. I made sure all of the layers for the button don't have the same name as on the first screen. 
  • Is there any way to not have the text animate as well? the text I removed on the second art board and the copy on the button flashes and animates along with the spinner.

    Anything that isn't auto animated (because they have different names or don't exist on another artboard) get an opacity fade animation. That's what you're seeing (which doesn't look great with the easing you chose for your animation). There's no way to change that behavior. One workaround could be to add an in between artboard that removes the text, and THEN animate the other elements after the others are hidden. You can automatically go to that 3rd artboard with a timed transition.
