A preset is a copy of every guide in a comp. Stamp it into other comps and the guides land in the same places, scaled to each comp’s size.

Save a preset

  1. Open the comp whose guides you want to keep.
  2. Right-click Griddy’s preview and choose Save these guides….
  3. Type a name, or keep the comp’s name, and click Save or press Enter.

The Grid tile shows Saved. A preset holds all of the comp’s guides, not only the grid’s. Save these guides… is greyed out when the comp has none.

Stamp a preset into comps

Select the comps in the Project panel, or open one comp with nothing selected there.

Right-click the preview. The list says where the guides will go, such as Stamp into 2 comps. Click a preset.

Griddy stores each guide as a percent of the comp’s width or height, so a preset made on a 1920×1080 comp fits a 1080×1920 one. Guides that are already there aren’t doubled. If every guide is already in place, the tile says Already there.

Stamped guides are ordinary guides. They aren’t part of the comp’s grid, so the grid’s changes leave them alone.

The undo step is named Griddy: Preset.

Manage presets

Each preset shows how many guides it holds. Click the × beside one to forget it. Griddy keeps up to 30 presets, newest first. To reach them from Grid’s right-click menu, click Presets at its bottom.
