Automatic animation doesn't work with colors.

For example, I have a blue rectangle on one artboard and on the other I have the same rectangle but yellow (duplicate artboard)

When adding an automatic animation, the color of the rectangle changes abruptly

 

Isn't the color supposed to change like it's a gradient from blue to yellow?

    If you really need to present a gradual color change, then try faking it by copying the original element with the start color, paste it right on top of the original, and change it into the end color and an opacity level of 0% in the starting artboard. In the end artboard, set the opacity to 100% !

    Hope this helps.

    Oh wow

    a pretty ingenious solution i must support xD

     

    Although it is a good fix, I would prefer that the program had it native (more than anything why I play with things)

     

    Either way thank you. It has served me :0

    So you have no plans to have a color gradient in the automatic animations?
