  • In Pixels Mode the size and AR of the grids are set by entering a fixed pixel dimension
  • The Grid is therefore made up of squares
  • With “In Pixels” turned off the size and Aspect Ratio of the grid is determined by the numbers set
  • In the example above the Grid has been “Centred” by setting a 20×20 Grid
  • With “Snap To Grid” ticked the Image/Object will snap to a Major or Minor Grid Line in either direction if dragged close enough

Add an Object

  • Add a Video, Mask, Frame, Button, Text, Rectangle or Image Object
