GridMaker is an After Effects panel that arranges your selected layers into a perfect grid automatically — pick a layout, hit go, and it handles the spacing, scaling, and positioning. No nudging pixels by hand, no guessing. Build a clean 2x2 or a wild 13x13 video wall in one click.
What GridMaker does
GridMaker is a lightweight ScriptUI panel that turns a chaotic comp into a beautifully aligned grid. Whether you're building a multi-cam layout, a video wall, or organizing clips for social content, it gives you pixel-perfect structure in a fraction of the time — built for creators who value both speed and precision.

- Custom dimensions — enter your own rows and columns (like 7x5) for unconventional formats.
- Smart padding and auto-scale — set custom padding with pixel precision and let layers scale to fit.
- Precomp toggle — group the grid into a precomp when you want.
