What this video covers

This tutorial shows how to use the TinyImage Figma plugin to export animated GIFs or MP4 files with transition effects between frames. It demonstrates selecting frames, choosing effects like fade, slide, and wipe, adjusting transition speed, and exporting the final file.

Things you'll need

• A Figma file with the frames or layers you want to animate.
• The TinyImage Figma plugin installed or saved in Figma.

Steps

1. Open a Figma file, find TinyImage under Resources > Plugins, and run or save the plugin from the plugins list.
2. Select the Figma frames you want to animate, open the GIF tab, then choose the Create a GIF/MP4 subtab to load them into the preview.
3. In the preview, open the effect dropdown that defaults to instant and pick a transition such as fade, slide, or wipe.
4. Adjust the transition speed with the slider if you want the effect to play faster or slower.
5. Click export GIF to render and save the animation as an animated GIF, or click export MP4 to render it as a video file.
6. Open the exported file to verify the transition effect and looping animation.
