Everything the plugin does, in the order you will need it.
Your first export
Install the plugin
In Figma: Plugins → Development → Import plugin from manifest, and pick figma-plugin/manifest.json. Once it is in the Community directory this becomes a single click.
Select a frame
One top-level frame. The plugin reads that frame and everything inside it.
Name a layer so it becomes a video slot
Any layer whose name contains one of these words turns into a slot: videovidclipfootagereelplaceholder. A rectangle called video 1 works; so does hero-clip.
Attach a clip to each slot
Figma cannot hand a plugin the bytes of a video you have already placed on the canvas — its API exposes only a hash. So footage is attached in the plugin, from your disk, even if the same file is sitting in the frame.
Export
Pick the settings below and hit export. The render fans out across dozens of Lambdas at once, so a story is done in seconds.
What each control does
Format
MP4 or WebM. MP4 unless you have a reason.
Speed
Fast slices the timeline thinly so many Lambdas render in parallel. Frame-exact uses fatter chunks, which keeps video seeking accurate across chunk boundaries — slower, and worth it when a clip stutters at a seam. Pro only.
FPS
30 or 60. Free exports are 30.
Scale
1× is the frame's own pixel size, 2× is retina. Free exports are 1×.
Duration
How long the finished video is. This is also what it costs you: a 15-second export spends 15 render seconds, no matter how long the render itself takes.
Audio
Keeps the sound from your source clips.
What fits
Free
3 exports per calendar month, up to 5 seconds each, 1×, 30 fps, watermarked.
Pro
1,000 render seconds per billing period, up to 2 minutes per export, 2×, 60 fps, no watermark.
Video files
MP4, MOV and WebM, up to 512 MB per clip.
Frame size
Up to 4096 × 4096.
Downloads
Finished videos stay available for seven days, then they are deleted along with everything you uploaded.
The key is the whole account
There is no login and no password. Buying sends you a key that looks like VX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. Paste it into the plugin under Settings, once, and it stays on that machine — stored by Figma, scoped to the plugin and your Figma account, never written into the document.
The same key opens the dashboard in a browser, where you can see what is left of your allowance and manage billing. Keep the email: it is the only copy of the key that does not live on your machine.
Troubleshooting
A clip stutters at a seam
Switch Speed to frame-exact. Fast mode cuts the timeline into many small chunks, and some codecs seek imprecisely across a cut.
Nothing appears in the video slot
Check the layer name actually contains one of the trigger words, and that the layer is inside the selected frame.
The export is refused as too long
Free exports cap at 5 seconds. On Pro the cap is 2 minutes, and the export also has to fit inside the render seconds you have left.
The plugin still says Free after pasting a key
The key is checked against the server, so a typo fails silently in the sense that nothing changes. Copy it again from the dashboard rather than retyping.
Something rendered wrong
Send the file to info@videoexportify.com. Fidelity is the whole point of this thing, and a frame that comes out wrong is worth more to me than a bug report.
