XD 45 is now available. This release includes a new plugin API that imports files into documents, including images, videos, and Lottie animations:

Properties that are specific to Lottie and Video nodes are not available via the plugin API at this time, only the inherited [SceneNode](https://www.adobe.io/xd/uxp/develop/reference/SceneNode/) properties.

Lottie and videos that have been added to a document cannot be extracted or exported in the original format. I have seen at least one other request to support this, but there is no update on if or when this will be supported:
