Spread Columns template: a stack that spreads into drifting columns

How Spread Columns moves

Spread Columns is the vertical version of Spread Rows: the deck opens into columns that drift up and down, alternate columns moving opposite ways, and closes back into one stack before the loop ends. Columns can start a beat apart for a staggered reveal. The vertical drift makes it a natural fit for tall frames, so use it at 9:16 or 4:5.

In the studio you can tune its 11 settings along with the background, shadow and loop length, and your images never leave your device.
