Frequently Asked Questions

What is Elastic Grid?

Elastic Grid is a tile-based distortion effect that lets you push and pull parts of an image or video using an underlying grid.

How is it different from regular warp effects?

Unlike freeform warp or perspective tools, Elastic Grid keeps the canvas intact and avoids stretching or cropping the image edges.

Can I animate the distortion?

Yes. You can animate the grid using control points or looping noise to create smooth, organic motion.

Does it work on videos?

Yes. Elastic Grid works in real time on both images and videos.

Can I combine Elastic Grid with other effects?

Absolutely. It pairs well with glitch, blur, color effects, and noise for more complex visuals.
