Never used keynote, sorry. There was mention of “Kap” as a recording software for Mac though.

+1, just meet this exporting problem, recording my screen is not a good solution, video quality is really low


Mike_Bourke

Yep. Gotta say Adobe XD has had this for ages. It’s so awesome.

+1 for this type of feature as well. It’s nice to be able to prototype out a simple loading animation for instance using some transitions, but can’t hand that off to any devs without having to go through some other tools.

Actually, CSS or JSON exports would be nice. I think some people already mentioned it.

This is currently my #1 wish along with a timeline & keyframes between screns (as InVision Studio has). I need this feature so much! I wish I don’t need to go through a hell and purgatory in After Effects to put together even 2s video or screen capture my prototypes in some obscure way. Life would be so much nicer.

PAYNE_LEUNG

Add me you the list of people who want this feature.

Many times I have to share my prototype in small video formats, usually I record screen but this creates many extra-work because after I have to edit, some times I dont record the prototype in the same size. it would be great to be able to export my prototype as a video directly from Figma.

thanks 🙂

+1 on this feature!


Isabel_Retamales

I would really love that this could be a new feature, I have found myself talking to members of the team about how to show prototypes and people usually ask if I have a gif or a video to show.

Thanks!


Matt_DeClaire

I have a similar request. But, instead of exporting a video, I’d like to embed an audio file synced to a cursor follow. That would allow reviews to get a tour natively in the file so they can add comments.

Oh my God, you changed my life with Kap!! Thank you so much!!

You can try https://gifcap.dev/. to record and export your prototype screen in GIF animation

For guidance watch the video on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NKzs-cK4og


Mike_Clarke

Please make this happen. Screen recording works but if you’re on a smaller monitor you wont get 100% actual size.

Hey @Felipe_Almeida,

Me and a friend of mine are building a plugin to export prototypes to gif.
Are you open to give us some feedback on the plugin UX (attached)?

The MVP will probably just be a basic image or screen conversion to gif/mp4/lottie but later on we will integrate it more deeply into figma to pick up existing connections user created.

Would this MVP help you achieve your goal? DO you have any feedback?
