IZI BENTO GRID - Ae Bento creator script

Create adaptativ bento grids easily in After effects, with the IZI method

- Lots of possibilities in just a few clicks and copy/paste

- IZI Grids are adaptative to the comp, so you can quickly decline your grids in different ratios

- Easy to maintaining the consistent gaps

- Easy to fill it with the IZI IN OUT ZONE SCRIPT

- Sizes are animable with keyframes.
-> But Please note these limitations in the case of animations :
The main purpose of this tool is to create a grid, fill it with media, and quickly adapt it to other composition ratios. You can animate with keypoints the X and Y dimensions if the boxes, but animation doesn't allow for everything. Currently the main limitation when animating boxes is that if the size is animated from some positive value to zero, you will get a jump equivalent to the margin value between size 1px and size 0px.

I also offer a solution that allows smooth animation without this jump, but for now only for a grid composed of master, column, and rows. Rolumn and Completers are not yet supported. For this smooth animation solution you will find in your download an .aet file with a Beta version of Master, Column and Rows.
This is a version that includes support for smooth X and Y size animations when zero sizes cases.
It is actually in beta test.

If you want to easily fill your grid with all type of animated layers you can buy the IZI_INOUT_ZONE script here :

MAJ 10.2024 :

- New option to fill gaps -> expand a Row to fill

- New options to add multiple Rows and Completers at once, automatically renamed and placed in the timeline.

MAJ 08.2024 :

- Bug correction on Column

- Rows : new possibilities for the Xsize of Row , "Parent+Selection" checkbox allow you to link the Xsize over multiple Columns

INFORMATIONS :
- it need After Effects 2025 or 2024 at least
- you need to have project setting Expression engine to Javascript

MAJ 07.2024 :

- improvements for margins when areas have sizes X or Y equal to zero.

- Xsumm button :
to calculate the height of several columns

- Optimization of "unlock zone" :
the design parameters are retrieved

- code optimization for the Xsize of Row:
so that it no longer exceeds the comp

- code optimization for theYsize of Column:
so that it no longer exceeds the comp

MAJ 06.2024 :

- Column : the margin is now always kept on the right edge of the composition (previously if there were several Columns the margin could not be kept)
- Create Shape Droplist now include "IZI Shape"
(IZI Shape has no restrictions on its position, dimensions and "Anchor" option. This is an option outside of the bento grid but very useful)
- CompleterRow : you can now duplicate them to split them -> they have now a ParentFill option

MAJ 05.2024 :

-New option in droplist "CreatGrid".
you can now indicate the number of columns and the number of rows that you want to create automatically.

- Column & Row :
A new options for adjust the size by checkbox : ParentFill  or Manually  or CompFill 

- Xsumm button :
to calculate the width of several columns

- Maj of Unlock zones:
quickly create the same shapes of your grid but free of expressions, to animate X/Y size with keyframes, with the possibilities to change the shape anchor

- Some improvements in the script code and the expressions code

- IZI Shape Zone X & Y : 
the minimum now starts at 0 (no more negative values which posed egonomic problems)
