Is there a function in Final Cut pro to see a grid or thirds in the canvas or viewer?

[Mike Raff]

Digital Heaven, maker of very cool FCP plug-ins, has a couple of freebies, including one or two that will do what you need:

I can’t remember if it’s DH Grid or DH Guides, but one of them (maybe both) will get the job done.

And did I mention they’re free?

Good luck.

Thanks Mike! This is exactly what I’m looking for. Much appreciated.

In case someone still needs a grid to see thirds:

The grids by Digital Heaven are good for making shots straight and stuff like that, but they do not provide thirds.

SOLUTION: So I had this exact same problem and developed a pretty clever/easy way to get gridlines lol.

Actually made a youtube video explaining how. Hope this helps! If it does drop a like! Thanks!
