  How to stop text typing from centre in mogrt?

  Posted by Joe Lee on January 1, 2021 at 10:57 pm

  Hi
  I’m trying to create my first mogrt and trying to work out how to stop the text displaying so that it doesn’t get hidden away when I enter text into the field. I’m sure it’s something very simple!

  // Simply just add this expression to the anchor point of the text layer :

  src = thisLayer.sourceRectAtTime();

  w = src.width;

  h = src.height;

  l = src.left;

  t = src.top/2;

  [l,t]

  // This will always keep the anchor point setting to left side of the text layer.
