KILLER Auto Layout Tutorial in FIGMA 

what do you want to see next?

Not only is this an amazing tutorial, but your production value is off the hook, Matt. GO GO GO!

your water bottle metaphor is so simple yet so genius. love your editing style! THANK YOU for making auto-layout easier to wrap my head around!

The Visuals are just amazing, and the Sound design for typing and expanding just awesome!

Had seen many videos related to Auto Layout before this but this is undoubtedly the most understandable and fun to watch. Exceptional editing.

Bravo sir!!!! An explanation that virtually covers all of my headaches with auto-layout. Much of my headaches were due to adding auto-layout at the beginning vs at the end once I have the layout designed. Thanks so much for putting this together & taking the time to share it with us. Nicely done.

one of the best AL, hug/fill explanations I've seen yet. And the tip about holding off on AL during ideation is brilliant.

Omg been struggling for three days with auto layout this is the only tutorial I’ve seen that makes any sense!!! Thank you

Wow, the best explanation of auto-layout I've seen 'til date. Your RU-vid content is amazing Matt, lots of respect for you and what you do. Excited for future content along this line. Keep it up!

I have seen many auto-layout youtube video BUT this one is by far the best one! man - you nailed it! keep on going! and ofc, thx for sharing 😎

Fourth tutorial I've seen about auto layout today and from far the best. Many thanks!

This is amazing Matt, thank you! You’ve been killing it with the RU-vid content, super excited to see what else you’ll be sharing!

This is by far one of the best tutorials Ive seen with autolayout. Adding to my “always be learning” playlist.

I would like to thank you for this is the ONLY autolayout tutorial that actually stuck with me. I really like the horror elements >:)) keep em comin

Loved it just how you simplified the layout stuffs straightway! I've struggling with auto layout stuff and stressed out as hell.. I was not finding any motivation to break things out. Thank you for your time :)

Thank you so much!!! I can't believe I figured out how to use it after a YEAR of working in Figma.

Hey Matt, the effort you put into this video is incredible. Keep up the good work man!

Everything creative = MDS. So 🐐ed!

Man you had me cracking up and learning at the same time lol...dope video and way to keep people engaged all the way through!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the way you teach. It really helped me a lot, especially the water bottle example.

Screw RU-vid algorithm, I watched every single autolayout tutorial on RU-vid trying to understand the concept and this is by far the most interesting of them all !!

This is really nice work Matt!

Not only did this video help me understand auto layout a bit better, but it was also hilarious and entertaining! A welcomed surprise!

This is only tutorial in MDS Style loved the work and inspired 🌟

Simply awesome tutorial! The quality is out of this world, you’re the 🐐.

Thank You So much for this Video. You have explained it so well. Keep up the hustle and your RU-vid channel will grow for sure ❤️

Wicked tutorial. Genius bottle analogy!

The production value of this video is insane! Everytime I'll hit SHIFT-A I'll always have a mental metal riff 😂Bravo!

Brother this is by far the BEST auto layout tutorial I’ve watched. Sub’d! (Although I disagree with the AL disclaimer, this is a great tutorial).

You’re definitely underrated 👍🏾🚇🔔

Just amazing, learned a lot from this video, Keep giving us more value like this one.

So simple and useful grate job that was the easiest way to learn autolayout thing ❤

Awesome video!!! So helpful

That's how you entertain and educate your audience. dude you just made my life way simpler. . Btw that's how you gain a subscriber. thank you so much

A man who knows how to explain. Fantastic video focusing on what we actually need to understand. Thanks Matt.

awesome video... sound effects ❤❤

I don’t know y this one isn’t getting million views. Even the figma yt itself can’t teach auto layout effectively like this

This edit is so awesome!

Excellent.. now I got some confidence and knowledge about on Auto layout.. Thanks for sharing this valuable topic.. If possible do one more video about autolayout complete procedure and with tips and logic. Thanks.

OMG the struggle was REAL, i was stuck with this typing with autolayout but thank you for point out " Fixed for parent and Fill for child ". It's working

Beautifully edited video, fun and informative. Well done MDS!

this is exactly what I needed I actually had a hard time with using the fixed, fill and hug options. Now I will always remember the water bottle analogy , thank for helping me this issue.

Instant fan of your channel!

Never had so much fun watching a Figma tutorial. Amazing.

fantastic work and well explained video!

Can tell you had fun with this one. Really well done/terrifying/useful 💪

Brilliantly done and very scarily explained! I’m gonna use auto layout with caution! Great video and very well explained!

It was amazing! The video editor deserves congrats for this one!

The most memorable tutorial ever!

Wicked tutorial tutorial 🔥

Amazing men also your editor have my respect.

Amazing video, thank you very much!

Also, when I first started with Figma wish I'd learned that starting small with auto layout groups is the best way to go. Would have saved me so much stress.

Perfect tutorial✌️

wow its crazy but also balanced not overdone, amazing tutorial!

Thank you for the awesome tutorial. 😊😊

Killer content man

Thanks a lot. I finally understood.

That's it! Finally I can understand auto layout.

Excellent! Way more entertaining than the Auto-Layout training I gave our UX team last week.

Wow! Thank you so much. This is a killer video.

BLESS you saved me such a headache

For me the real killer insight was the fill/fixed water bottle concept, the perfect storytelling to teach auto-layout

Thanks MDS

Been trying to explain this to others, and this is the funnest way I have seen yet.

Learning from the best!

The most entertaining tutorial I've ever watched

Hey man, thank you so much for this explanation, I was wondering if you can make a video about rapid prototyping using figma. Thanks x

You're the best.

thanks for your video, very helpfull

this tutorial like a gem

Amazing!

I loved this video as you have spoken the truth.

wow, thank you!

really enjoyed Watching this HORROR auto layout 😂

Amazing

Hello, I want to ask in which cases we don't need to use auto layout & thumbs up for this video it's really helpfull.

Love it

HAHAHA really love this auto layout tutorial 🤣

That was good.;) 👍

Epic!

Genius!!!!!!!

Love this advice! :) 04:45

damnnn, you saved my life

on the one hand it is interesting to watch, on the other it is difficult to perceive

On the very second example, where you are doing absolute positioning, and adding the effect on the text box, I can 'see' (if I click the layer, when it highlights) through the grid that it is working--in a sense that as Long as I type, the effect follows. But, I can't see the effect in itself. How do I fix that?

Please make fancy design tutorials

subbed!

Great :)

Lol I love it. So so much.

SHIFT+A!!!!

I want to be like you when i grow up - a grown man

The only tutorial u need hahahaha i swear.

It was worth it.
