How this template is built

The Grid Effect is built from 40 layers — 23 text layers, 12 video layers, 4 image layers and 1 audio layer — spread over 40 tracks and 10s of screen time. Something new happens 32 times along the timeline, and 16 of the layers are yours to replace.

These diagrams show the structure of the project — which kind of layer runs when, and what sits in front of what. They deliberately show no wording, footage or artwork: that part is yours to fill in.

The timeline — when each piece is on screen

Time runs left to right across 10s. Each bar is one layer; a dashed outline means you replace it. Rows near the top render in front of rows below them.

The layer stack — what sits in front of what

Read this top to bottom the way the camera sees it: the first row is nearest the viewer, the last is the backdrop everything else is drawn over.
