Hi All,

 

Thank you for your patience. We now support video playback in XD. We would request you to please update XD to the latest version ( XD 45).  

 

For more details on the latest features please visit our What's new page.

 

Happy Max 🙂

 

Thanks,

Harshika

Dear all,

 

I am quite new to the Adobe suit, and I only Googled whether a GIF could be imported to XD; the answer was yes. However, after a day of playing with After Effects and Photoshop to create my very first GIF, and importing it into XD: it doesn't work!!

 

After a more thorough search online it seems that indeed we can't use any animations in XD? Seriously? Can anyone confirm / tell me loopholes to show the client the gif in the presentation?

 

And yes, I have seen the discussion, however this discussion has been going on for ages! No updates?

 

Much appreciated!

 

Cheers,

 

Flora

Hi, Flora-

You're right, you can't import animated GIFs yet, only static GIFs. Unfortunately, there isn't a way to import animation in at the moment, though it's something we're looking at in the longer term. We do have a number of features we want to put in first that would allow for more expressiveness, so you can expect to see improvements over the upcoming year as we grow XD. Thanks for hanging in there with us!

Hey Elaine,

Thanks for the update. What i'm reading from your response is that it can actually take a few years still?

Either way, I love the Adobe suit, though this is just an important missing element!

Cheers,

Floor

Is there any timetable for this feature? It's so essential to get buy-in from non-designers, it bothers me to have to use InVision or Proto.io just to add video or GIFS, as their software isn't nearly as user-friendly...

And still a year later, nothing has been implemented to cope with the need to add animated GIFs.

elainecc Checking in on this 12 months on.

This seems like such a huge hole in the capabilities of AdobeXD. Being able to add animated gifs and or videos would go such a long way to the amount of detail that could be shown in the hi-fi prototypes XD creates.

At least 1500 other people agree...

Hopefully this will show up in XD soon.

This Adobe reply was over 6 MONTHS ago!  I love the evolution XD but accommodating animated GIFs is not something that takes this long. An epic oversight. I love adobe but some decisions seem so wrong. Like ditching Edge Animate for example without any adequate replacement. HYPE will have been very happy though haha.

Please please please can Adobe update XD to allow animated GIFs!

Thanks

Will be great to make fully animated prototypes, from After Effects and Character Animator. We try now to bring an html5 animation with the backend developer inside after, but this is not wysiwyg. With this feature you go over other prototype applications.

@elainecc 

3 years later and no support for simple animated gif?

We will switch from Sketch to XD only if this feature is supported, please!

you really need to add this feature. It's ridiculous not being able to use animated gifs or video in a paid-for prototyping app!

Hey hey,

I mean it's now two years ago and I still wish gifs to work in xd.

PLEASE make it happen. Gifs are from the 90s can't be that hard to bring them alive in xd. I hope.

Best Regards

Philip

Really! this is the same comment as posted in February 2017. So 3 years have past and Adobe still hasn't implemented. No wonder Figma is a prefered UI tool.

Awesome news! Now almost FOUR years later after Adobe has started working on the feature and it's still NOWHERE to be found! I know you will ditch XD and switch to Figma sooner or later, but you're doing your loyal customers a total disservice.
