Learn how SaaS brands animate bento grids in After Effects. We build a fully responsive bento grid natively, with no plugins: change one cell and the whole layout adapts.

Bento grids are all over SaaS launch videos and product keynotes, and if you do client work, you've probably been asked for one already. In this tutorial I show you the wrong way to build them, the one that falls apart the moment the client asks for a change, and the right way, using a responsive rig that keeps every cell, image and line of text in place.

Then I take it a step further with Mograph Effector 2.0, a tool I built, so you can animate the whole grid without keyframing every single cell.
