Anchor points for comps?
I’m getting back to After Effects after being away from it for a while. I’m trying to edit an anchor point on a comp layer but I can’t find it when I select it. Other kinds of layers (like stills and movies,) on the other hand, do have the usual cross in the circle. Has something happened while I’ve been away… or am I missing something incredibly obvious?

I assume you have one comp nested inside another comp. Open the attributes for the comp layer and there should be the anchor point parameter. adjust it and you should see an anchor move.

Yes, one comp nested in another. I’m at home now working on AE 5.5 and I don’t have the same problem… I can see the anchor points on comps fine. Is there a setting or something I’m missing?

Perhaps Show Layer controls is “toggled off” under the view menu? This would affect all layers, not just comps, tho.

Enter the layer mode by double clicking the layer. There is pull down menu at the bottom of the layer window that controls what is shown – effects point, masks, or ancor point path…
