Figma motion does not currently have the ability to play and export video fills, so video objects are treated as static images. The ability to incorporate video objects into the timeline would be extremely helpful. Exposing the current frame of a video as a keyframeable property be a great solve.
Video fills in Figma Motion
+100 — this seems almost like an oversight. Currently a blocker for a lot of our motion projects
I agree. I'm coming from Adobe AfterEffects, where you are able to do time remapping of a layer. For video fills in Figma, controlling the frame progress is missing at the moment. You should be able to keyframe the time on HH:MM:SS:MS
I don’t know when they added it, but it seems to work for me now! The trick for me was adding 2 random property keyframes (e.g. rotation) to the top level frame—one at the beginning of the timeline and one at the end, matching the video length. The keyframes are just left at 0. Then when I export, the video plays in the export!
