Capsule lets you control where your motion graphics and design components appear on screen. You can place components using a 9-point grid system, making it easy to position elements consistently.

Place a Component on the Grid

  • There are nine possible placements for any design component.

  • Use the grid system to quickly select where your component should appear (e.g., top-left, center, bottom-right).

Safe Zones and Aspect Ratios

  • Capsule automatically adjusts design placement when you change your project’s Frame (aspect ratio).

  • The grid system ensures components stay within safe zones, so they won’t be cut off by platform overlays or user interfaces.

Move Overlapping Components

If a design component overlaps with another:

  1. Click on the component’s name in the left-side panel to open its settings.

  2. Under Position, select a new grid point to move it.

Tip: Use consistent positioning (such as lower-third for captions or logos) across projects to keep your videos clean and professional.
