FAQs

Slow Grid Performance Issue

In the latest version of After Effects, changing properties from grid preset controls may cause lagging if you have the Properties panel open. This happens because the Properties panel tries to fetch all updated values from the grid layers, slowing down the process significantly.
To resolve this issue, it is recommended to temporarily disable the Properties panel by using any one of these:

  • Close it by clicking the menu button (three lines) at the top right of the Properties panel.
  • Click the Properties panel toggle button in the toolbar at the top.
  • Disable it by selecting it from the Window menu.


Supported Item Types

You can use any kind of layer with a valid video source including shape layers, text layers, footage, images, compositions, etc.

Different Item Sizes & Ratios

You can use items with different sizes and ratios. These will be distributed inside equal-sized invisible frames. (Similar to cells in excel)
Then you can choose any fitting option from the controller layer to fit those inside their frames.
You can also add the mask frame feature to clip the exceeding pixels of these items from their frames based on the selected fitting option.
