2026 · WebApp · Animation · Video Sampling · Audiovisual
An experimental tool for video sampling and animation based on grid layout.
Currently in active development and available in public beta.
When you spread a timelapse across the grid, you see the gradient of time. Sun light in one corner, dark in the opposite.
Everyday videos reveal hidden rhythms or camera pans as spatial waves.
Historical motion study plates suddenly come alive in unexpected ways, you can replay Muybridge's locomotion linearly or reassemble it into new movement patterns.
Workflows
Contact Sheets & Storyboards
Turn the flow of time into a spatial layout. Sample any video into a customizable grid of frames.
Adjust columns, rows, spacing, and timecode formats.
Save instantly single frame or grid as jpeg, png or video loop as mp4 or png sequence.
Frame-by-Frame Drawing
Animate directly on top of your grid. You can sketch across individual frames to create rotoscope animations or apply visual overlays to your entire grid.
Audio Collision Sequencer
Since your video is now a grid, why not play it? You can assign audio samples to specific frames and place static play cells on your screen. As the frames move underneath, they trigger sounds, turning grid into an visual drum machine.
Core Features
Inputs: Drop in image, sequences of images, video or GIFs.
Grid Control: Flexible Cell Calculator frame aspect ratio, visual padding, and background styles.
Export: Save your work as image or animated loop as MP4, JPEG/PNG or ZIP sequences.
Private & Local: FrameGrid operates entirely on your hardware. No cloud uploads, no accounts, and your files never leave your device.
