  • position/anchorpoint??

    Hey,
    I have a problem that is probably pretty basic but I am completely stuck…
    I have been moving a layer around, creating position keyframes. Now I want to change the anchor point but I want the layer to stay put, moving around like it used to. When I change the anchor (in the composition or in the layer) the layer moves and when i want to move it back in place I am creating new keyframes..

    Does anybody now how to fix this?

    Use the “pan behind tool”, just to the right of the magnifying glass.

    it keeps the layer put but when I playback the animation the position frames use the new anchor point and the layer doesn’t move like it is supposed to..

    Keep in mind that the anchor position can be animated. So, just set some keyframes.
