  Hi,

  Am attemting to centre a text layer in a comp…both horiziontally and vertically on a page.

  Is there a way to do this simply in After effects?

  (I found a solution that refers to having to resort to scripting…)

  Thanks.

  SPACEMAN suggests that Matthew uses rulers (cmd>r) to mark centre screen, (creating a new layer will show you the centre anchor point) then writes his text and alligns using the paragraph tab. (window>paragraph)

  SPACEMAN needs spaceship parts, not expressions…

  Use the align panel.
