    hey guys,

    quite similar to the last post actually.

    i have 178 stills, 100 pix wide. i wanted to create a grid using all the stills. i’ve tried using the matrix script but this doesn’t give me a good enough grid. was wondering if anyone knew of another way of creating this other then using photoshop and manually placing each still where i want?

    i need each picture and butt together without any gaps between each image. i’ve posted this on the ae expressions forum also, to see if the bofins there have any bright ideas.

    cheers

    Try using
    “align & distribute”, you can open up it’s window under “window/align % distribute”. The icons to distribute and align are vague and although they may have improved in CS3 you’re going to have to figure out what does what by trial and error.

    The other option is to do your grid placement in AE instead of Photoshop. Save yourself a few steps.

    Good Luck
