Hi,

We’ve added videos for a presentation. But all the videos are cutting short and playing 3 seconds instead of the added file (different lengths)

The added videofiles are in .mov. We also tried mp4. But no go.

Should’nt there be at least a Duration tab in the right hand toolbar?

Hey ​@Darwood, thanks so much for sharing the details! 

A few things we can check together:

  • Figma supports .mp4 and .mov files, are your videos encoded with H.264?

  • Videos can be up to 100MB in size. Do you know how large your files are?

  • Video fills behave like shape fills, and they’re not supported in the Figma mobile app, just in desktop or browser. Where are you previewing the presentation, desktop app or browser?

Regarding duration controls: when a video is added as a Fill, you can manage it in the Fill section of the right sidebar. From there, you should be able to:

  • Preview/play the video

  • Scrub through it

  • Jump to a specific timestamp

There isn’t a separate “Duration” tab,  playback is controlled directly within the Fill settings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you’re able to share a short screen recording of what happens when the video cuts off, that would be super helpful! 

In the meantime, here’s our guide on using videos in prototypes in case it helps: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/8878274530455-Use-videos-in-prototypes
