  • Text tool location reset in After Effect

    Posted by Jay Chun ed.d on November 6, 2014 at 2:33 pm

    Hi,

    I’m fairly new in After Effects. When I click on the text tool and click on the state, the location of where the text start is much different from where I clicked on the stage. How do I change that?

    Thanks!

    Jay

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    I gave it a shot, not luck. The anchor point keeps showing up to the far bottom right which makes the text appear to the far top left. I may have not been following your steps properly.

    Here is what I did.
    1) Create new text
    2) Highlight adjust character settings (not much to adjust)
    3) Fix the anchor point and align it to the middle
    4) create new text layer to see if it worked (no luck).

    Thanks again,

    Jay

    I take that back. Forgot to change the “paragraph” setting and only looked at the character setting.

    Your suggestion was very helpful.

    Thanks!
