No. It's not about the future. – user3284331 Jul 21 '20 at 06:56

The tense doesn't matter—the principle is the same between the use of the infinitive and the present participle. – Jason Bassford Jul 21 '20 at 07:03

The second construction is usually used in reference to a particular point in time (in the future), whereas the first construction is used to refer to an indefinite period of time in the future.
e.g. We are going to be studying when they arrive. After they have left, we are going to study.
