Types of Video in Prototype:
- Should be in mp4 format
- Cannot exceed 30MB in size
- Are shape fills and behave as such
- Are not currently supported in the Figma mobile app
Add Video to Any Shape
Similar to images, video can be added to any shape as a fill as long as the video matches the size of that shape.
Inserting Videos into Your Design
Uploading the Video: Begin by uploading an MP4 format video.
Integration with Vectors and Shapes: Once uploaded, you can incorporate the video into any vector or shape.
- Directly drag your video file from your computer and drop it onto the canvas.
- Create a shape and use the video as a fill material. See the example provided below for guidance.
- You can copy a video from another layer in your current file or from a different file entirely. Then, paste it onto the canvas.
- Easily paste any video copied to your clipboard directly onto the canvas.
The gray rectangle layer is the placeholder for the video.
Adjusting Video Position and Size
To adapt the video size to fit your screen, use the cropping tool for videos that are too large. Begin by clicking on the 'Fill Mode' dropdown menu and selecting Crop. Then, resize your video frame by dragging its edges. To apply these adjustments, just click anywhere on the canvas.
Play/Pause Interaction
Our goal is to have the video autoplay when users open the feed while also providing them the option to tap on the video to either play or pause it. Now let’s add a play/pause interaction.
- Begin by clicking the Plus (+) icon next to 'Interactions' to introduce a new interaction for the video layer.
- Then, access the Interactions Panel and choose On tap as the trigger.
- Finally, specify the action to Play/Pause Video.
Prototype with Video
Once you add video to a frame, go to Prototype on the right sidebar. From here, you can create interactions between frames with video. By default, videos are set to autoplay, loop, and play with sound on but you can change those settings.
The Video section of the Prototype tab lets you set a video’s behavior when navigating to its frame in a prototype:
- Check the box to Autoplay video
- Click to loop video
- Click to turn the video’s sound off or on
- Drag the first Frame to the second Frame, On Tap, Smart animate, Gentle
The State management section of the Interaction details panel lets you Reset video position when an action is triggered. This would let you restart the video between frames.
Video and Interactive Components
You can use interactive components to prototype video interactions in a single frame, like previewing playback on hover but I’m not going to show you how to create the components on this tutorial. If you want to learn more, the link is in the description.
- Create a component with variants for a default and hover state
- The default state should have autoplay off, and the hover state should be set to autoplay
- Create a connection from the default variant to change to the hover variant and uncheck reset video position
- Create a frame with a couple of instances of the component and replace video to reuse the component
Using a video prototype in Figma can be a powerful way to create interactive and engaging designs that incorporate video content. Whether you are working on a website, app, or other type of design project, Figma's prototyping tools can help you bring your ideas to life and create designs that are both functional and visually appealing.
