  • Margin or orientation of text

    Posted by Peter Parker on November 29, 2015 at 9:29 pm

    Hi guys , first of all I have to admit that I am new to After Effects and that I have been playing with the interface for the last weeks.

    In general when I work in any text editor (like notepad) I usually type the text and it goes from left to right , leaving the initial text on the position it was before.To illustrate what I mean :

    Some contents or functionalities here are not available due to your cookie preferences!

    Photoshop behaves as expected :

    This happens because the functionality/content marked as “Google Youtube” uses cookies that you choosed to keep disabled. In order to view this content or use this functionality, please enable cookies: click here to open your cookie preferences.

    Now , when I go to after effects , this is what happens :

    Some contents or functionalities here are not available due to your cookie preferences!

    This happens because the functionality/content marked as “Google Youtube” uses cookies that you choosed to keep disabled. In order to view this content or use this functionality, please enable cookies: click here to open your cookie preferences.

    As you can see , as I type the text moves to the left instead of moving to the right as most text editors do.

    If it helps , this is the configuration of my text layer :

    In general I don´t know how to explain well the problem in technical words , but that’s basically what happens. If I paste a text in that layer,I need to move the text back to it’s initial position.

    I would like to be able to create some sort of margin to avoid this to happen.
