Aspect Match

Problem

Placing a portrait video in a landscape cell (or vice versa) wastes space with black bars and looks unprofessional.

Solution

Aspect Match assigns media to cells based on aspect ratio compatibility. Two modes: Preferred (best-effort matching, tolerates mismatches) and Strict (only places media in cells with a compatible shape). Can be applied per-cell or grid-wide.

Tier Availability

  • Free: Not available.
  • Plus / Pro: Preferred and Strict modes, per-cell or grid-wide.

UI Flow

  1. Open Preferences > Grid or the toolbar aspect match toggle.
  2. Choose Preferred or Strict mode.
  3. Optionally scope to specific cells or apply grid-wide.

Known Limitations

  • Strict mode may leave cells empty if no matching content exists for that cell shape.
  • Requires aspect ratio detection to have run; undetected items default to 16:9.

Marketing One-Liner

Aspect Match ensures every cell gets content that fits its shape — no more black bars or awkward cropping.
