Hello everyone! I’m excited to announce that in XD 45 (released today 10/26), you will be able to import MP4 video into your XD designs.

To ensure platform compatibility and performance across desktop, web and mobile preview, your video must be:

MP4
H.264
AAC audio
under 15 MB
4K or under resolution.

Enjoy and we can’t wait to see what you create!

XD does not support Animated GIF, so if you are still looking for that, please start a separate request and vote on it.

    I'm moving to Figma from today. Still unable to add simple gif's. Yo Adobe Restaurant, please add spoons before I come to to your restaurant to have dinner. Please for the love of god. Its not about Figma having this feature, Its about UX/UI designers like us who constantly want to develop interactive animated prototypes. So, even a first grade kid will know why this feature is so basic like spoon in restaurant. Adobe is so hectic. We've to drop feedback for adding spoon in suggestion box. 100 years later adobe restaurant is like okay feature started. You guys are the god of speed man.

    please for the love of all that is simple and should have been addressed a long time ago! I have always been adiehard xd user but I have had a few problems lately where I have had to either jump through ridiculous hoops or explain to a client that my prototyping tool cannot handle something ... and the problem is so simple it makes me feel like they probably think I just don't know how. Last time I needed to incorporate gifs, I just used Figma.

  • Caio commented  ·   ·  Report

    honestly this is a key point to switch to figma. Wait until next month when ends my license.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Just that there is not even a slight response from you guys after all this comments here, it just brings back the question is Adobe XD really worth the monthly payment in 2021? Figma becomes more and more attractive, even Sketch... Please just do something!

    Solicitação feita em 2019 e ainda não respondida. Descaso com seus usuários, não?

  • Marlon commented  ·   ·  Report

    Is there a release date? My organization has about 12 XD licenses which we are currently thinking about switching to Figma. Please give us an ETA on this.

  • Ben Holness commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can we have a release date for this please? Its been over 2 years now in the making. Long awaited and highly requested. We are considering switching to Figma as a result of this delay.

  • Graeme Palmer commented  ·   ·  Report

    Any chance of a release date for this feature, please?

  • Alejandro commented  ·   ·  Report

    2 years and nothing happened on XD supporting animated gifs, I understand videos could be a nightmare, but really, small lightweight animated gifs are quite old tech!

  • MCS commented  ·   ·  Report

    down arrow works properly in browser.....but when it comes to XD is not working...

  • Sathish Devasani commented  ·   ·  Report

  • Dheeraj Shetty commented  ·   ·  Report

    Its been 2 years since this feature's development has started

  • CypherPoet commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be an outstanding feature. Unlike just about all the other comments on here, though, I'm not going to act outraged. I love AdobeXD and how far it's come... please implement this to take it to the next level 💪.

  • Marlo Straub commented  ·   ·  Report

    Hope this is coming out. Another reason to move to Figma if not.

  • Steve commented  ·   ·  Report

    So simple ... at least you'd think. Makes you wonder why they can't be bothered to do something that plainly so many people want. Probably just because they don't give a sh*t :(

  • David commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is one of the most voted feature request for years. Is there any strategic reason for not adding it? If no, please add it...

    In the company I currently support, we have switched to Figma. And I'm also starting to consider migrating if development continues so slowly.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    again another update with such a nice number (40) and still no videos and gif support in sight... starts to feel like people will leaving the sinking ship soon...

    why having this request board when there is no even a little slight of getting info then a "feature-started" and 2 years of nothingness afterwards - super disappointing.

  • DV commented  ·   ·  Report

    This idea was suggested 5 years ago and they still haven't implemented it. LOL.
    Seriously people why do you even bother waiting, just use Figma.
