  • How to stop text typing from centre in mogrt?

    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.
