Grid effect
Use the Grid effect to create a customizable grid. Render this grid in a color matte or as a mask in the alpha channel
of the source clip. This effect is good for generating design elements and mattes within which other effects can be
applied.

Adjust the following controls for Grid:
Anchor
Specifies the point of origin of the Grid, based on x, y coordinates.
Size From
Specifies the grid size. Each option enables the corresponding effect controls:
•
Corner Point
Determines the spatial relationship between the Corner point and Anchor point controls.
•
Width Slider
Determines the value set for the Width control. The Grid cells will be square, as the Width value is
used to determine both width and height of the Grid cells.
•
Width & Height Sliders
Determines the values set for the Width and Height controls. Use this option to set the
width and height of the Grid cells independently.
Corner
Specifies the size of the grid cells, based on the spatial relationship between the Corner point and the Anchor
point.
Width
Specifies the horizontal width of the grid cells. If you choose Width Slider in the Size From menu, this value
specifies both the width and height of the grid cells. If you choose Width & Height Sliders in the Size From menu,
this value specifies the width only.
Height
Specifies the height of the Grid cells when you choose Width & Height Sliders in the Size From menu.
Border
Specifies the border thickness of the grid. A Border value of 0 causes the grid to disappear.
Note:
The anti-aliasing of the grid borders may cause the visible thickness to vary by one pixel.
Feather
Specifies the softness of the grid. You can set Width and Height amounts individually, or set both to the
same amount for a uniform feather on all edges. The maximum width value is 400 pixels; the maximum height value
is 400 pixels.
Invert Grid
Inverts the transparent and opaque areas of the grid.
Color
Specifies the RGB color values of the grid.
Opacity
Specifies the opacity of the grid.
Blending Mode
Specifies how the grid interacts with the original layer. These blending modes are identical to those
in the Timeline Modes panel.
Lens Flare effect
The Lens Flare effect simulates the refraction caused by shining a bright light into the camera lens.
