    I wan’t to resize these images from thumbs to fullscreen.. as example in the picture, but now I have to guess for some of the images the where to place the anchorpoint to make it resize on the correct place (except for the corners and middle) Is there any better way to make it stay in place and resize to fir the screen?

    Also is there a good way to prevent layer overlapping?

    I don’t understand what you mean. Nobody is stopping you from combining position animation with the scaling, so it doesn’t really matter much where the anchor point is, it can stay in the center of the image. Assuming all your images have the same size, the last keyframe in the large state would be the same, no matter where they are in the small version. Placing them without Overlaps should not be any problem at all, but if you want to be 100% safe, use numeric inputs or expressions, references to which you can find here on the COW e.g here

    What i mean is wben i resize a picture it will scale from the anchorpoint, so if it’s not in the center of the composition. I have to change the anchor point so that it will scale correcltly out to the entire screen. I was thinking if maybe there was another way to go about this.

    Umm, I’m still baffled. Ctrl+Alt+F will fit any image to your comp size, didn’t you know that? No need for any manual adjustments and it will even work with keyframing.

    Ah i see that does work, but it places the picture to the center when scaled down 😉

    Well, that’s what keyframes are for… Some manual work just can’t be avoided.
