Exporting your banners to MP4 videos

Once you've finished animating your layers in the timeline, you can export your banners to MP4 videos.

Video Tutorial: Export banners to MP4 videos from Figma

This video tutorial is a complete step-by-step guide showing you how to export production-ready animated banners from Figma to MP4 Videos using the Bannerify plugin.

After you've clicked the Export to GIF/Video and configured your export settings, you can click the Export MP4 button at the bottom of the export panel to begin exporting your banners from Figma to MP4. This will export your animated banners to h264 encoded MP4 videos.

Browser Support. Due to browser compatibility issues, MP4 videos can only be exported using Chrome or the Figma Desktop App.

MP4s are automatically optimized. MP4 video exports will automatically be optimized to get the best quality at the lowest file size.

Including or excluding banners in your export. By default, all of the top level layers in your Figma file that are loaded into Bannerify as banners will be included in your export; if you would like to exclude any banners from being included (without re-loading the selected banners in), you can toggle the Include Banner in Export switch in any banner's timeline header to "off"; this will hide that banner's timeline and also exclude it from being added to any exports.

Frames Per Second ​

You can change the framerate of your GIF exports by using the Frames Per Second select box options. You can select from the FPS options below:

  • 60 FPS (Ludicrous Mode)
  • 30 FPS (Ultra Smooth)
  • 24 FPS (Smooth)
  • 18 FPS (Less Smooth)
  • 12 FPS (Least Smooth)
  • 6 FPS (Jittery)

Higher FPS will take longer to render. Please note that more frames will take longer to export and ouput larger file sizes. For example, exporting a 5 second timeline at 24 FPS will render out 120 frames per banner.

Adding an audio track to MP4 video exports ​

Video Tutorial: Add audio to Figma video banner exports

This video tutorial is a complete step-by-step guide showing you how to add audio files to your MP4 video banner exports in Figma using the Bannerify plugin.

Before exporting your MP4 video, you can optionally include an .mp3 audio file to your exported videos by dragging and dropping an .mp3 file from your computer (you can download .mp3 music files from a site like Pixabay) into the Bannerify export settings. Then you can click the Export MP4 button at the bottom of the export panel to begin exporting your banners from Figma to MP4 with the audio track automatically included.

Alternatively, if you've already embedded a video URL into one of your layers and would prefer to use the audio from that video, you can enable the Use audio from embedded video toggle, and this will automatically include the audio from the video on your banner's timeline layer.

Browser Support. Due to browser compatibility issues, MP4 videos can only be exported using Chrome or the Figma Desktop App.

Downloading the final MP4 video .zip file ​

After Bannerify has finished processing your banners, you'll be shown a confirmation message; you can download your .zip file containing your exported banners by clicking the Download your .zip file button.

Saving file downloads from Figma If you're using the Figma desktop app, you'll see a prompt appear to download your file. However, if you're using Figma in a web browser, your file will automatically be downloaded to your computer by default (usually to the Downloads directory on your computer).

Opening your MP4 video .zip file ​

After you've downloaded your .zip file from Figma to your computer, you can open your file explorer to the directory where it was saved. Double clicking on the exported .zip file will unzip the contents and let you use your banners however you like.
