stupid question: How do you scale a layer from a handpicked origin?
I want to scale a layer, but not from the layer’s center. I want to scale from a point I choose in the comp. My brain won’t work today and I don’t remember how to do it.

Ray,
Select your layer, then press the “Y” key. Now click and drag the origin. Works in the Comp or Layer window.“Move Anchor Point Tool” is the icon to the right of the Mag Glass in your toolbox if you want to get to it that way, but hotkeys are _so_ much better. Don’t forget about F1… probably the best hotkey out there.

Haha thanks, yeah, I tried F1, and even messed with pan behind, but wasn’t quite sure that was the solution. Now I’ll focus on that tool. Thanks!

OR……I could create a null, position the null where I want it, link the layer to the null, and scale the null!
