Week 60 - Beat-synced videos, organized icons and instant layouts

This week's five new Figma plugins.

While some are boldly proclaiming on Twitter that we have no use for Figma anymore, we can’t seem to stop finding new reasons and ways to use Figma! And that’s largely thanks to new plugins, pushing the boundaries of what Figma can do.

In this week’s issue, for example, you’ll find a way to create videos synced to the beat of your favorite track… Or ways to adjust layouts for different geographic markets and devices in a click… And most of all, you’ll be able to do all these things with your team, in collaboration, and as part of your overall design process, no matter how complex or simple it may be 😊
