Export/record prototype to Video or GIF

Felipe_Almeida · 2021-01-29T13:07:17+00:00

As a designer I would like to record my prototype screen or export it as a gif so I can use it in presentations and send quick examples in the team group. It would be great to have the same feature then Principle to record or export the prototype to gif. Does anyone have the same need? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?

For the entirety of my career I’ve had to share prototypes with people but sometimes a video is easier than a clickable prototype. I actually do this often and sometimes just more convenient. Big bonus point if there an option to record a voiceover and/or add music too

Absolutely, having the ability to export device mockups directly from the prototype mode would streamline the workflow, right? So, is this feature available now, or is it still on the way?

Are there any updates on this Is exporting the prototype to GIF or any way to share your prototype video? It would save a lot of time 😀

Hey everyone! We NEED your votes here!

Someone from Community Support dropped by in 2023 (look up there) and mentioned they’re focusing on the most voted features (800+ votes). This thread’s been around for 3 years and we’re only at 698 votes? That’s crazy, especially with how many people checked this thread (+200k people)

Come on folks, let’s get those numbers up! Just takes a second to vote. 👍

This is by far the best solution for this:
https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1170836206919391034/export-to-gif-video

I initially developed this plugin myself but after one year I passed it on to another developer who is in charge of it now (a very capable one).

I suggest to try this out and message them if you were facing any issues.

I don’t understand why this video export option isn’t a standard part of Figma.
Surely creating animated social content (stories/reels etc) in mp4 is a huge feature,
yet you can’t simply export the video! (without an expensive plugin)
