About GridTrend

GridTrend is a script for After Effects that builds grid layouts featuring a central profile picture. Users define an odd number of rows and columns (e.g., 3×3), import media and a profile image, then set composition size in the Settings window. The Person button places the profile picture, while the Grid button generates the remaining grid. The script provides custom grid dimensions, strokes, backgrounds, masks, color labels, swapping, deleting, and an organize feature, all without usage limits. Version 1.0.1 runs on After Effects 2020 through 2026, changes the default frame rate to 30 fps, and updates the Settings and Help windows with a tabbed layout.
