Figma Motion, still in open beta, now exports animations as Lottie or dotLottie files.

It also saves an animation style, custom easing and duration included, for reuse.

For asset creators, that turns a Figma animation into a file you can ship and sell.

Coinbase's design system team tested Figma Code Connect with coding agents.

On average: 11.5% fewer tokens, 22.3% faster implementation, 22.5% lower cost.

A design system mapped to real code is also what stops agents guessing at icon names.

Envato now lists roughly 155,000 distributable Video Templates, and about 105,000 of them can show a tutorial.

Previews were compressed: around 5x faster on item pages, 10x faster in search.

For template sellers, the preview is the storefront. It just got quicker to browse.

Framer shaders accept video as well as images since 11 August, grouped under Media in the Insert panel. Chromatic Aberration got controls you can edit in real time.

For a template, that is one fewer exported file the buyer has to swap out.

Straight from Figma's docs: each variable collection holds up to 5,000 variables, and a variable can only reference another variable of the same type.

Build your token collections around that. A template that aliases cleanly survives the buyer's rebrand.

From Webflow's own update page: template creators earn 95% on paid template sales, with Webflow keeping 5% to cover payment processing.

Payout terms are the quiet part of choosing where to publish. Worth reading before you build the template, not after the first sale.

Figma opened Community publishing for custom Weave tools on 16 September. Build a tool for a repeatable image or vector job, then ship it for anyone to use.

One detail worth knowing: any output type can be published, but only image and vector tools run inside Figma Design.

Webflow's breakpoint canvas puts desktop, tablet, mobile landscape and mobile portrait side by side in one view, each one editable without leaving the canvas.

If you sell templates, responsive drift is a support cost. Seeing all four at once is how you stop shipping it.

Getty terminated its merger with Shutterstock on 7 July 2026. The UK CMA had made approval conditional on selling Shutterstock's editorial business, and Getty's board declined.

The 3.7 billion dollar combination is off. Two marketplaces, two contributor programs, unchanged.

Framer's partner program pays 50% of a referred subscription for 12 months.

One creator month published on Framer's own creators page: $8,277 from referrals, $694 from template sales.

A free template that gets remixed is a distribution asset. Price accordingly.

[Stokefy @stokefy1]

Framer paid creators $6.5M across 2025, and $753,000 of that in November alone. A flat year puts one month at 8.3%. November ran at 11.6%.

The same page puts Framer's cut of Marketplace earnings at 0%. Subscriptions fund the platform, not your sales.

Envato Elements author terms, effective 25 February 2026: authors share in 50% of net revenue from the Base tier of Individual and Teams plans, and 25% of net revenue from Enterprise subscriptions.

Your effective rate depends on which plan downloaded your file.

Figma shipped the Figma node on 17 September. Paste a frame from Figma Design into a Weave workflow, mark which text and image layers are the inputs, keep the original fonts and layout.

One master frame, many variants. That is what an asset library was always reaching for.

[Stokefy @stokefy1]

Webflow's MCP v2.1 lets an agent read a site and write the first draft of its brand, design system, asset and CMS guidelines.

Documentation was the part of a template nobody shipped. The floor is now a generated draft you edit. Ship yours with one.

[Stokefy @stokefy1]

Figma made opacity an aliasable variable on 3 September. Disabled states, overlays and scrims now point at a library color and keep pointing at it, no detach.

A template library survives a rebrand only if nothing was detached to fix an overlay.

[Stokefy @stokefy1]

Webflow now takes a component straight into a rich text field, on the canvas or in the CMS panel, with properties set per item. Shipped 2 September.

If your template ships a blog, callouts and CTAs stop being pasted markup. Update the component once and every post follows.

[Stokefy @stokefy1]

Figma added vertical wrap to auto layout on 25 September. Items fill a frame top to bottom and start a new column when they run out of height.

Fixed-height multi-column blocks (feature lists, specs, bios) reflow on their own. Order is preserved, so it is not masonry.

[Stokefy @stokefy1]

Framer shipped Skills on 22 September. Reusable instructions for a design system or a workflow, saved inside the project.

For template sellers: Skills persist through a remix. The buyer who duplicates your template inherits your rules for adding pages, not only your layouts.

[Stokefy @stokefy1]

Envato's own page, updated in August: 29 million+ assets, and every individual tier now carries an AI credit allowance.

20 credits on annual Core at $16.50/month, 200 on Plus, up to 2,000 on Ultimate.

Generation capacity is becoming a pricing lever next to library access.

[Stokefy @stokefy1]

Figma's new shader fills are parameterized by default, with the controls sitting on the canvas.

For a template that matters more than the look. The buyer retunes it from a panel instead of rebuilding the layer.

They convert to code and to the usual export formats as well.
