  • anchoring point of text?

    Posted by David Del on July 8, 2008 at 12:25 am

    I want to move the anchor point for a piece of text to the middle of the “letter” so when it spins, it spins around the center. Not quite getting it, any suggestions?

    Hi David,

    – twirl open your text layer;
    – click on the triangle next to ‘animate’, which you can find to the right of ‘text’ in the time line;
    – select ‘anchor point’ from the popup menu;
    – now you can adjust the anchor point;

    If you animate something like rotation after this (make sure you don’t add it to the same animator), it uses the new anchor point.

    I used the pan behind tool, but needed to be on the anchor point for it to work. Thanks.
