AiBow Tools releases AiBow Grid for After Effects

AiBow Tools released AiBow Grid on aescripts, an After Effects effect that draws guide lines you can keep in the render.

After Effects' view guides never reach the output. AiBow Grid draws real lines from the edges of a layer out to the comp edges, and they follow the layer's position, scale, rotation and parenting. It works directly on images, solids, shape layers and text layers without precomposing, and the lines refit when the text changes. The box can be measured from the opaque pixels or from the layer bounds, padded, and split into columns and rows.

You can mark every crossing with a circle, square or diamond, or switch to corner marks for a registration-mark look. One Draw On slider, keyframed from 0 to 100, animates the lines from the center, from the ends or as a sweep, with Stagger, Order and Ease Out for the timing. Keep Width When Scaled holds the stroke width while the layer scales.

AiBow Grid is Windows only, and the compatibility list starts at After Effects 2025. It's listed at $24.99, with a launch price of $18.99 until November 14, 2026, and has a free trial.
