Hi! I added a video to my slide, but I no longer have access to the original file on my computer. I’d like to download the video, just like you can on a regular Figma file. Is there a way to do that in Figma slides? Thanks!

okey so i want to make that when i click a button an image changes. like i have a hud and when i click the button i want the icon in the hud change, how to do it?

bonjour  j’ai crée mon site avec figma make je l’ai publier et pour le réferencer google n’arrive pas a acceder au sitemap et au robots.txt, je ne peux pas envoyer le dossier à la racine de mon domaine car il est deja connecter a figma make par dsn 

In the past, when you created Colour Styles and Text Styles, you could (along with identically named components) swap them out for each other by using the “Swap library” functionality in the Libraries panel. That functionality still works, and is great. However, Variables don’t seem to swap over in the same manner, which makes some sense as they’re not detected by the “Swap library” panel currently. Is there any way you can switch out Variables in batch when swapping libraries so they update everything eg colour, padding margin, booleans etc, or am I unable to use Variables for anything outside of local styling for now? For context, I’m creating a design system for a white-label product that can swap the associated branding on the fly depending on the target client. Naturally, colours, fonts, logos etc need to be switched out, and they work fine with the older method of library definition, but Id like to be able to specify padding, margins and other similar properties as part of the br

Hi guys!I’m working on an app where at the last minute the font was changed. It was easy to swap… only the new font (Cooper Hewitt) has a wildly different vertical placement in the bounding box. See how it aligns close to the top: For the app launch for dev this was a relatively easy solve, as you can adjust the vertical alignment. But moving forward with the project I could really do with the Figma designs not all looking misaligned!Vertical trim seems the only option. But the paddings within my components were based off of the previous untrimmed font. Which means I would need new spacing measurements, which is bad as then the devs would need to redo all those, or ignore my new measurements. Not great outcomes for a continuing project.I’ve been considering using a font editor to manually adjust the vertical metrics solely for use in Figma. I don’t know whether that’s legal or possible!Has anyone had a similar experience? Or do you guys have suggestions on how you would handle this con

Hi,I'm trying to build a prototype using Figma Make from a number of screens I have.For example, I have a project with a large number of screens, and I want to create a prototype for it. I started with 3 screens.Normal screen (closed menu), a screen with a pop-up, and a screen with an open menuEvery time I insert screens into Figma Make it changes my design completely.When I try to be specific (for example, make the buttons in a system of hover and selected states) Figma Make deletes all the screen content and makes me a style for 3 buttons... I want a prototype with style.When I ask to restore the content that was deleted for me, it returns, but without the previous request.When I tried to simply insert one screen, it finally uploaded my screen as it is. But all the buttons are distorted, out of the frame. Everything is messy :(I have components, I have titles, I have layer names. It seems like I have what I need.What am I doing wrong?Are there any tips or guides on how to create a pr

Recently figma updated rate-limits, and i need orientation/insights on how to handle the implication of that in my project.So, our project used figma REST API to extract a JSON and images from design journeys on figma. Using that, we validate a series of internal rules on how to develop screens journeys for our organization.The thing is, this solution is used by a lot of designers , and they dont have the dev mode or a seat that allows them to make more than 6 requisitions/month (and they need way more than that).The only solution for that would be run the application on a personal token that has a higher seat? Or is there a way that i can upgrade the rate-limit of the application itself? All designers that use this application making a seat-upgrade would bring us much cost. I’m trying to understand if i have any alternatives here. I saw something about the API Tier having different rate-limits. Is that something i can work with or change? Maybe change the API to increase the rate-limi

When I started prototype, all text layers changed into placeholder, and it keep glitching. I don’t know why :/Does anyone encounter this issue? 

Day 1 using FigmaI just want to use Figma Slides right now … and trying to get used to it vs Keynote.I understand how to hide the whole UI.But I want to hide JUST the right hand margin of slide - as the working space is so small compared to Keynote - which is an issue working on a 13inch laptop -anyone help please?Thanks 

What methods, tools, or habits do you use in Figma to make sure your designs stay uniform and follow the same rules — even when you work on different files?

The selling point of Banana Pro is that it can generate 4K images. Can Figma's Banana do that?

Hello! I have a question regarding my use of the Figma Education Plan as a university professor. While attempting to use the new AI tool with Figma Sites, I encountered two issues: The AI tool wouldn't work on figma sites (it’s like blocked); When I published a site, I was not given the option to set a custom domain. I contacted Figma’s chatbot, and it responded with this message:"Figma Sites is available for higher education or bootcamp Education users, but not for K-12 users. If you're a higher education student or bootcamp participant, you should have access to custom domains."However, I still don’t have access to this feature.Can anyone provide further guidance on this?

Hi,I am making changes to my Figma Github Repo using Claude Code Web - but it seems to not have the ability to pull from Github, Is this correct? If so, what is the best workaround for this?

Hello forum! So the default hotkeys for bringing to front and sanding to back, as moving layers above or below or other layers, are ] and [.And bringing forward and sending backward, as moving layers on one position abore or below other layers, are ctrl + ] and ctrl + [ key combinations.My issue is that I use second option, that is moving layers by one step much more often, so it would be much easier if that would be just ] or [, without also pressing ctrl key.Is there a way to switch those functions or hotkeys for those functions in Figma? Am I the only one having such an issue?Thank you

Hello forum!Is there a way to enable showing line height in pixels by default? By default it shows in percents and I don’t find in really convient, I would much rather just see it in pixels by default or were able to switch it somewhere

I’ve noticed that when I make changes to a main component, some overrides in its instances don’t update as expected. This is causing inconsistencies in my designs, and I’m not sure if it’s a bug or something I’m missing in the workflow. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips on keeping component updates consistent across all instances would be really helpful.

Hello,I'm contacting you because I don't have access to the Figma AI feature "Remove background".I'm on the verified Student plan and I've noticed that my classmates have this feature but I don't.How can I get access to this feature and other AI features?

In the keynote, the left navigation is mostly discussed in tandem with the “extended collections” feature, which I believe is only available to enterprise. However, I’m interested in the new, full screen variables panel that’s included with the new left nav panel since it makes it much easier to get a complete picture of a design system token set. Is this UI element going to be rolled out to everyone, or only enterprise users? If yes, when’s the target roll out?

Why I don't have figma AI tool after one year? how should I get it?

In the desktop version of Figma, ALL the images have disappeared from ALL my projects. The frames are still there, but they are empty. However, everything is working fine in the browser version. I've tried restarting, uninstalling, and reinstalling Figma, but nothing has worked. Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

How do you sync the changes being done in one copy of the screen to other copies on different pages? I tried making the component out of screen but then it loses it’s floating name on the top left.

So, variables are one of the most important functionalities in Figma, but the plugin API doesn’t help developers when it comes to variables, basically, there is no way for an open plugin to know when a user create, remove, reorder, or edit a variable or variable collection. Even though, this is possible with styles, which are less important and common than variables.If the document change event doesn’t include variable changes, then how an open plugin is supposed to get this information?Why variable changes haven’t been added to the document change event until now?@James_Yang I mentioned you as I always find you answers insightful​     

When using the regular workspace in Figma, I have access to plugins.   Like the QT export plugin. I created a UI using the AI Make tool but the plugins are not avilable in that workspace.   How can I move the UI Created in Make to the regular workspace so I have access to the plugin?   Is taking a screen shot of it and opening it in regular Figma the best option? Thank you.  New to Figma here.  

One approach is to divide responsibilities clearly and use automated testing as much as possible. In our case, midway through the project we reviewed how larger teams work, especially those from a blockchain development company USA perspective, and we adapted some of their processes. Simple things like mandatory peer review, using CI pipelines, and keeping clear documentation made a huge difference even for a small team.
