Export to Compositions

Grids, Guides, Gutters & Snapping

Check measurements with rulers and grids, and get pixel perfect accuracy with snapping.

Screen Mapper also has guides that show you what other displays it is currently aligned too, and allows you to set gutters, perfect for accounting bevels and spaces between screens

Importing Images and scaling Displays Using an image as a reference?

We’ve got you covered. Import images up to 10,000px in size. (Smaller size images give better perfomance in the extension.)

If you need to scale your image up to scale then you can use the scaling tool to set up a 1:1 ratio;

Note: Images and canvas’s won’t get bigger than 30,000px as that is the size of a composition with AE.

Pixel Mapping Presets & Keyboard Shortcuts

Screen Mapper gives you the option to add a preset pixel mapping shape layer for each display.
This gives you tons of flexibilities for adjusting and creating individual grids for each composition within your project.

Perfect for previewing and setting up before your event!

Screen Mapper utilises keyboard shortcuts for quickly moving and duplicating displays as well as many other actions.
