When exporting designs with embedded videos from Figma (Slides) to PDF, the exported file currently shows only the first frame of each video. This creates issues, especially for logo animations or other motion graphics where the first frame may be empty or visually uninformative (e.g., logos that fade or draw in).

Suggestion:
Allow users to define a custom preview frame (poster frame) for each video element. This frame would be used as the static image in PDF exports (and possibly thumbnails or slides), ensuring clearer visual communication in offline or static formats.

This would greatly improve PDF exports without requiring manual workarounds like overlaying screenshots.

This feature would be a huge improvement for our agency. When presenting work with video files or any animations within a slide, we often have to create duplicate Slides document for a static version to export to PDF. It’s a huge headache and creates problems. Thumbnail selection for eventual PDF export would be amazing.
