Grids don’t export, but they do help you align objects more easily.

Motion has a grid you can use to align elements. Here’s how to turn it on, then configure it for your next project.

To display the grid, choose View > Overlays > Grid (or select it from the View menu in the top right corner of the Viewer.)

To modify the grid, go to Motion > Preferences > Canvas (illustrated in the screen shot) where you can adjust grid spacing and color.
