Griddy
Griddy puts columns, rows, gutters and margins on your comp as real guides in one click, and you shape the grid by dragging.
Free. Griddy comes in the Motion Dock, with every Motion Fun tool.
Got Any Questions?
Griddy works in After Effects 2022 and newer, inside the Motion Dock. Its guides are After Effects' own, so they snap, lock and hide like any guide.
Yes. Free forever, with no trial, no watermark and no locked features.
Install the Motion Dock, our free panel for every Motion Fun tool, then add Griddy to your dock from Edit Layout. After the first install, restart After Effects and find the Motion Dock under Window → Extensions.
No. Griddy only places guides. Drag your layers onto them and they snap, the same as any guide.
No. Changing the grid or taking it off only touches the guides the grid placed. Your own guides stay. Clear is the one button that removes every guide, and one Undo brings them back.
No. After Effects guides only show in the comp viewer, never in a render or an export.
