The problem.

Sound familiar?One wide camera, and a vertical cut with everyone in their own box.

You shot a podcast on a single wide camera and the client wants the vertical version with each person in their own box. Or you want three clips on screen at once.

Working out position, scale and crop for every clip by hand is a nightmare of numbers.

What it does.

Read the clips, pick a grid, frame each cell, apply.

Two uses

One clip with several people or objects: the + on its thumbnail adds a copy for each, every copy is a cell and it is duplicated onto free tracks when you apply. Or several stacked clips, one per track and overlapping in time.

Layouts

Recommended ones for your clip count and format, a custom rows-and-columns grid, your presets, or Creative AI, which invents nine new layouts on every press.

Frame by hand

Drag inside a cell to reframe and use the wheel to zoom. Click two cells to swap them; double-click to fit or fill; Alt+click leaves a cell empty.

Padding and borders

Padding between cells, outer borders and editable dividers that snap to halves, thirds and quarters. Save the result as a preset.

Apply and go back

Apply writes position, scale and crop on each clip, all editable in Effect Controls. Reset returns the clips as they were and removes the duplicates it made.

Work flows.

A real job, with the buttons named as in the panel.

Good to know.

Layouts appear after reading the clips
The recommended ones depend on how many clips you have and your format.
Creative AI uses your AI
Everything else, including recommended layouts, runs without it.
Apply is editable
It writes standard position, scale and crop, so you can still change them in Effect Controls.
