Here's some good news. The status of the request is changed to "feature started"!  This indicates that the feature is under development and likely to make its way into a future update. Meanwhiule, check out the "Anima Plugin" that can help insert videos and gifs in your XD document. 

Hope this helps, Harshika

Many thanks. My Best regards

Since the trend would be videos (i.e. Nike login page), do we have any ETA? thanks!

[HARSHIKA_VERMA]

Hi Harshika,

This is great news if it has moved over to feature started in Adobe XD application development. I've upvoted and I'm excited to see this in an update soon!

Thanks

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 really are the god of speed man.

YOU COUGHED FOR THIS FEATURE TWO YEARS AGO. FOOLING US AGAIN ADOBE!! THANKS!!
O WAIT!! FIGMA FIGMA FIGMA!!

A simple thousands years obvious feature missing from a age old flagship companies prototyping tool. GIF!!! it shouldn't need another plugin to use (which isn't even working btw.) it should be a simple drag and drop feature from the very start of XD even when it was on beta. We are talking about GIF not any other recently made format or anything. This is simply ridicilous. I am also moving to Figma right after we are done with the design. I will also search for a way to import the current design to Figma.

Hi @Tarkhan,

We understand your concern and will make sure to pass on your feedback to the team. You may also submit your feedback on our XD UserVoice and upvote the request to add your voice.

As a workaround:-
You can use the "Anima plugin," which can help you import Gifs into your design file.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Harshika

Hi, I already tried the Anima Plugin and it also doesn't work.

[Tarkhan]

Besides, it is utterly ridiculous to need a 3rd party plugin, which requires me to sign up to another service just to add a GIF animation to a project I am working on... I mean guys think about it GIF is around for 35 years!

Adobe net worth $172B / Figma net worth $10B
Adobe founded in 1982 / Figma founded in 2012

Must be a legacy feature to add this....

Hi @Exciting_idea5E40 ,

Gload to hear that! If you need information on how to use videos in XD, I found this discussion https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd-discussions/quickly-get-started-with-using-videos-in-xd/td-p... which you can refer to.

super helpful, thanks Harshika

Are you kidding me?

[NateY1389]

Hello,

A workaround would be importing your video to Photoshop>Creating Layers from Video>Exporting>Import Layers to Artboards>Auto Animate Artboards. Utlizing this technique for any video over 10/15 seconds would be time consuming. However, if you're attempting to create some cool animation for an intro to your app Home Screen or transations, it seems to work pretty well. Adjust your auto animate settings until moving from artboard to artboard looks like a video. Same technique works for After Effects, creating your video in AE, rendering via AME & then to Photoshop...(repeat steps). I do hope they make this a little easier with future updates, as it is pretty tedious at times. Feedback welcome!

-Cheers

Hey Nathaniel...

And then using that in XD how? What file format? I think the hope is to have triggerable video in an XD shareable preview for client review within an XD prototype, in browser.

Please Adobe, insert this function, that would be the killer!

[James5CF2]

Hi Adobe, If you would give the source code of your software, I could actually add this feature in xd. I think this function is important but I don't why you ain't doing anything.

[patrickg65492748]

Absolutely - this would be a massively useful feature on nearly all of the projects that I work on!!

[gschu39]

That would be extremely helpful if adobe would move on this.

[rgdz2]

You must be joking. Video is the single most important medium of the present and future. And it is not supported by Adobe XD...

[Exciting_idea5E40]

u can insert video now in the latest version of  adobe XD

[ritesh017]

I find very confusing and difficult creating animation in adobe xd. And there is limitation too which is really frustrating. Is it possible to make custom animation in after effects and use it on adobe Xd?
