I love Figma Motion so far.

But i made a small animation for a SoMe post where i used a video as background. When exported all the motion elements worked, but the background video turned static.

I hope this will be fixed in futureĀ āœŒļø

šŸ‘‹šŸ» Hey ​@Hasse Finderup — welcome to Figma Forum, and glad to hear you're enjoying Motion so far!

Thanks for sharing this. What you're seeing is expected behavior at the moment. When exporting from Motion, video fills used as backgrounds are captured as a static frame rather than playing video in the export. Our product team is tracking this as a feature request, andĀ the same behavior occurs with any export format when a video fill is involved.

I don't have a timeline to share, but we'll announce any developmentsĀ here as well as keep this resource updated: Export animations from Figma. Let us know if any other questions come up as you continue working with Motion. šŸ™šŸ»
