Hi! I´m working with a prototype and wonder if I could get a Vimeo-video in it? Is it possible without any more payed plugins..?

Thanks for this update, but when using the auto-play in videos along the time transition, can anyone have a solution for that?

We're so happy to hear this 😄

We haven't used XD in so long because of this missing feature that we're only just finding out.

I came here to see if Adobe XD has gotten better. I want to use XD but I need to be able to add video or more animated elements to my Prototypes. Guess Adobe is yet again behind on the times.

Back to using to Figma, see again in a few years Adobe hopefully XD is better then?

Hi Alejandro,

 

We're so sorry for the delay. As of now, we don't have a time span by when this feature would be available, however, let me assure you, the engineering team is working on this. Please stay tuned to this request for any update https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/12924336-import-videos-animated-gifs-to-show-in-interacti

Hi Adobe,

our team uses CC for years now. Started to use XD 2 years ago. Since then I have been waiting and waiting for animation and video support. In Webdesign video is essential. When we use XD, we cannot show our clients layouts that show the definite design. So the application is getting more and more useless. What a pitty!

Crazy that after still so many years of development, this feature is not available. It can't be that hard to import a video. 

I've been using Proto.io, which works great and you can import videos. Time to catch up Adobe.

I'm surprised I'm only getting to this now. But recently I've been doing a lot of UX work and thought I could trust XD to do it. I can't believe that auto-animate is the only way for me to illustrate page transitions and animations within the layout. This is a feature that is needed.

Hi Adobe,
unfortunately you don´t answer on your feature-request page.
Request for import videos & animated GIFs is
requested since March 2016,
"feature started" status since March 2019,
has most votes:10789
Why is there no progress? We simply want a simple animation import? At least give us a feedback.

You may checkout 2 of my workarounds - a spinner as XD-file.

It might help in some cases but unfortunately workarounds are blocking other actions on artboard like autoanimations or keyevents

Couldn't agree more with you all, I posted a comment on this back in December 2019 and still no movement on this. I'm considering moving over to Figma at this rate.

This critical feature was first suggested as a new feature in March 2016. Somehow it took another three years to make it onto the development 'start' list. Nearly 2 years after that... we're still waiting!!!

 

Seriously Adobe, this is just laughably bad. This is far and away the most requested idea in Adobe XD, yet in 5 years it's still not here?  The lack of any meaningful feedback on progress is also frustrating.  Should I wait another year, or simply use another prototyping platform?  I don't understand the need to be so opaque about such a fundamental feature.
