How do I export a Figma prototype video?

Last updated on December 29, 2022 @ 8:18 am

In order to export a Figma prototype video, you will first need to create a new project in Figma. Once you have created your project, you will need to select the “Export” button in the toolbar at the top of the screen. Before that, you have to click the “Play” icon first to record your prototype video. Once done, you can then proceed to export the video.

If for some reason the Export option doesn’t appear on your screen, you can use a screen recorder browser extension as an alternative. It will appear at the top-right of your screen after you install it. Then, go ahead and click it and select record video for your prototype. Once done, an Export window will appear.

On the “Export” screen, you will need to select the “Video” export type. You will then be able to select the “Video File” format and the “Video Resolution” options.

PRO TIP: When exporting a Figma prototype video, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, make sure that the quality is set to high, otherwise, the video may appear pixelated. Second, ensure that the framerate is set to 30fps or higher, otherwise, the video may appear choppy. Finally, make sure to export the video at the correct size – if it is too large, it may take up too much space on your computer, and if it is too small, it may not be viewable.

The “Video File” format will allow you to choose between exporting your project as a video file or a series of images. The “Video Resolution” option allows you to choose the resolution of your exported video file.

Once you have selected your options, you will be able to select the “Export” button at the bottom of the screen. On the “export” screen, you will be able to select the destination directory for your exported video file.
