100-word summary
Adobe's new GenStudio plugin lets designers generate AI images and video directly on the Figma canvas, then export finished frames to Photoshop without toggling between apps. Marketing teams can now spin up eight branded ad variations for Meta or LinkedIn inside Figma, translate them into multiple languages, and push the results straight to campaign tools. The catch? You need to structure your Figma templates in a specific two-level format, and Photoshop exports drop advanced properties like gradients. Still, it's a direct shot at the habit of bouncing between Midjourney tabs and design files. Adobe is betting you'll trade file gymnastics for a little creative constraint.
