Figma in 5: Vectors I

New video series from Rogie, where he explores a single topic in just five minutes. The signal to noise ratio is really high, so everyone will learn something. He kicks off the series with vector shapes, but don’t miss Part 2, where he covers vector editing tools.

UXToolset

Figma To Video

Figma To Video allows you to turn your Figma designs into animated videos. The plugin is powered by a SUPA video editor that helps to fine-tune the animations and the order in which elements appear.

Shaper

Plugin with all the necessary shapes and basic forms that you may need on a daily basis.

Easing Gradients

Bézier and step easing for gradient fills. Highly useful for creating smooth gradients.

Find & Replace

A simple plugin for finding and replacing strings, with Regular Expressions support.

Text underline hack

Cool Auto Layout hack for creating custom text underlines.

Filter

Over 30 filters for raster images.

Design Tokens

Export Figma styles and custom tokens to Style Dictionary JSON or sync to GitHub. I’ve been thinking of building a plugin for this before, so looking forward to trying it on one of the projects.

Abstract

Whoa! I don’t use Abstract anymore, and it seems like this plugin requires access to a feature that wasn’t widely rolled out yet, but this is exciting. Abstract’s branch-based workflow is one of the rare features I see people genuinely miss when switching to Figma.

Neon effect

Beautiful effect, reminding me of Kai’s Power Tools. (If you know, you know.)

An interactive article that aims to help you pick, set up, and use Layout Grid in Figma.
