I have a 2Mb, 27sec mp4 video which I’d like to display in the ad reel at the top of a plugin page. I can upload the video, I can play the video in the preview, I can choose what order the video comes in the carousel but when I hit save, the video is not presented in the carousel. I have tried different formats (mov, different encoders) to no luck. Please can someone suggest a fix? https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1397952939678206595

Our team were trying to export assets for us what we are going to use in a game engine. However discovered whenever we export gradient image as png, it has lot of transparent pixels. It doesnt happen with flat color or if we duplicate the image 2 times and apply the same gradient although i dont think that should be the right solusion. Any fix or guess?

I use some components in footer, that have two states: collapsed and expanded. All components and the main frame have Auto Layout. When I click on the collapsed component in the prototype the screen jumps up and down before the list expands with animation. As I understand, the problem is connected to constraints of the contents. When I choose Smart Animation, I can’t set checkbox “Preserve scroll position”, because there is no checkboxes. When I choose “Instant” and choose the “Preserve scroll position” option everything works well. But I want to do it with animation. drive.google.com

Hello,my team was suddenly changed to an education plan. I don't remember that I would change it.Can I ask, how to change it? Or it would be best if I could keep it, because I am a student, but right now, I graduated high school, and in two months, I will attend college, so "currently", I am not a student. Plus I am from the Czech Republic, and neither my high school or college is on the list, and I don't know which proofs I should send.Thanks for the help.

При нажатии на объект, перестала работать правая кнопка мыши (тач на маке) — не показывает контекстное меню. Во всех других программах и в самой фигме везде работает, кроме драфта. Как можно исправить?

Hello people Is there any smart way of refactoring components? Some context here: we’re about to give the design a boost and this will change many of the components in the library. The smartest way would be if the components are build with only tokens/variables but they are not so i need to find another way. I would love to do it this way: Build a Button_new with the new look so you can manually change it to that component (or make a property for it true/false) Change the old button with the new buttonThe problem i have with it that when i do that (by changing its name) the change doesn’t go through the component on my canvas. Anyone can help?

can I copy path from photoshop and paste in figma

code of selected element is not visible

Hi all, I’ve been running into a scroll position issue since state management was introduced. I have a page with various buttons, and when selected, opens an overlay. These overlays have scrollable content on them, allowing the user to view the content. If the content has been scrolled and the overlay closed, when reopening the overlay the scroll position hasn’t been reset. I have the option to ‘reset scroll position’ on the button-to-overlay interaction, but this resets the main page and there is no 'reset scroll position on the ‘close overlay’ menu interaction. I ran a test there the overlay was treated as a new page (so ‘navigate to’ instead of ‘open overlay’) and the ‘back’ interaction on the overlay has the option to reset and behaves as expected. What am I doing wrong? I know the state management setup indicates that layers need to be named the same, but this is to maintain scroll position. I need to reset the scroll position on the overlay once it has been closed. Thanks

My overlay disappears when I set a Boolean to false on a different object. I have a “more” icon on a page. When that icon is clicked is opens an inline action menu by setting the action menu visible boolean to “true”. On the inline action menu, when clicked it opens an overlay. I have two “Click” actions on the inline actions menu. One to open the overlay and a second to reset the inline action menu visible boolean to “false”, to hide the action menu. That second action hides the menu and the overlay. That is a bug. Anyone else see this???  

Zscaler is blocking Figma desktop application in the office network. But the same is accessible through browser in the same network. I tried adjusting the registry settings suggested in the Figma help center. But unfortunately it didn't work. Even the IT team is not able to figure out the issue. Please help to resolve this. Any suggested settings or adjustments need to be done? 

Hi,I thought drafts were private until you put them in a team or share with someone.I realized that every time i create a draft, who can access section is “Anyone in my team” by default.What does that mean? Do i have to change my drafts to “only me”  every time i create a draft? So confusing. Thank you

Hello, We are using Components. We have create Page 1 and added all our master components in one section.Now, we want to create a duplicate of that page. The problem is that our Components are still linked on the components on Page 1 instead of Page 2. Is there a way to automatically relink them based on the Components that exist on the same page?

I'm developing an image-related plugin for Figma. Since this plugin allows users to upload many images at once, the speed of loading images is crucial. When there are many images on the canvas, the images are loading slowly. My plugin can generate images in bulk - it can instantly create over 100 images and potentially generate more than 1000 images. I anticipate this could be inconvenient when other people join or when someone closes and reopens the document, as these images would load slowly.In my testing, I tried reducing the image size itself and decreasing the image file size before placing them on the canvas, but this didn't significantly reduce the time it takes to load the images.Is there any API, setting, or option available in Figma plugins that can help speed up the loading of images that are already placed on the Figma canvas?

I’m looking to create this scenario:a sticky header (title bar in this example) that’s responsive if the screen width increases (e.g. dragging the outer frame) that also stays in front of the content below it when scrolledHowever, I can only seem to be able to be able to achieve the first two - see screenshots below. Is this scenario possible and if so how? Cheers!Default view in prototype modeScrolled view in prototype mode (content is in front of status bar)Screen is responsive in design mode 

Can anyone send me video/screenshots of process sharing libraries as a host in connected project? Figma documentation does not mention how to do it prcisesly 

Hello everyone!I'm facing an issue with interactive components and icons in Figma.I’ve created a button component that includes an icon (e.g., a camera icon) and some text, all wrapped in an Auto Layout. The default state of the icon is a line version, and on hover, I want it to switch to a filled version of the same icon. This works fine when using the default camera icon — I’ve set up the component so that the hover state changes both the icon and the button's background color.The problem arises when I use an instance of this button and swap the icon (for example, from camera-line to pencil-line). When I preview the design in Presentation mode, the hover interaction still changes the icon back to the camera-filled icon, instead of showing the filled version of the new icon (e.g., pencil-filled).I believe this is happening because the hover state is tied specifically to the camera icon, not a generic slot that supports swapping both line and fill icons as variants.Here's how I've stru

I waited a long time for my figma to be updated, but even after April 30, when it became available to all users, I unfortunately have this picture, what should I do? Thank you

I often use constraints option when I work with my design but now with the new beta UI Figma I didn’t find it now It’s hard to make my design responsive without having to option this, not only hard, it’s impossible without having that, why are you taking it away?, I prefer the old Ui Figma when you come across to change your UI just don’t take away features.

Hi, I was going to build small site for an Advisery client, so nothing too content heavy or CMS reliant. I know Figma and a little bit of Framer. Framer doesn’t give me any option to host on Serversaurus which I need to do. Can I do this if I build in Framer Sites or is Framer Sites self-hosting as well?Also concerned that Framer Sites is so new it may not be reliable enough for what I need. This is an example of the type of site I need to build from a content perspective https://www.creativeclimate.org.au/I am a designer with limited coding knowledge and a budget under $5K. cheers.

So I created my forum username too fast and made a typo! 😅Can someone please DM me to change it. 🙏🏼

I have a library with several components made up of smaller components. Those smaller components should never be used on their own. I want to make my library available to another team but I don’t want the sub-components available. Here is an example: I have a chart legend that I use with three different chart components. I want the user to be able to add a chart component to the page but I don’t want them to be able to add just a legend component to the page. I want the legend to be a component for me so that when I update the look, I don’t have to go update all 3 chart components. If I leave the legend component accessible, I know some non-designer will try to misuse it and stick it on a page as some kind of fancy list or something. 

Hi, I'm a student and I paid money for Pegma and received a study permit to use Pegma for free for students. Can I cancel the payment and use the student permit for free?

Thinking of prototyping specifically. Just to be clear - I’m looking for something that does what you intend to achieve, rather than not doing what you intend to achieve. For example, if I put one animation inside another, I’m looking for one animation to be inside another, as oppposed to one animation NOT being inside another. Sort of like the prototyping equivalent of a caclulator that divides when you select the divide button, or a car that turns on when you press the on button. Does that make sense? So, something that works as opposed to being a soggy baguette.
