Thank you, Steve. Been reading the
group’s emails re: the upgrade pricing. Scott Kelby had an
interesting open letter to Adobe in the latest issue of his mag re: same.
Curious to see if Adobe will back off. rl From: After Effects

Meyer You want to import the layered Photoshop file as Composition, not as
Footage. Choosing the retain layer sizes option will pre-trim them and arrange
them properly in the comp it creates, but you might feel more comfortable using
the straight "Composition" choice as it will give you component
layers the same size as the original document. - Chris On Jan 2, 2012, at 8:51 PM, Robert Leigh wrote:
Ladies and gentlemen, By way of introduction . . . Six months ago, and after 35 years as a CPA, I opted to
retreat from the world of beige and begin exercising my right-brain
functions. To wit, I purchased a raft of Adobe products (including AE)
and even Maxon's C4D. At this point, however, I wouldn't know an 8-bit
pass from a glazed donut. I've found the best way to learn something new is to jump
headlong into a project. So I have. I'm creating a video intro with
layers of text that fade in and out in AE. The text was created in Pshop
5. It's important the text in the diff layers line up correctly.
I've taken great pains to do so in Pshop. I'm importing the psd files
into AE. HOWEVER, when I do, I find the text ends up centered in the
comp, damn it. (Note: geezers sprinkle "damn it" into their
language a lot.) I don't want the text layers to be centered but rather
to exhibit the same positioning as they did in Pshop. Duh. Please pardon my wordiness. I won't make a habit of
it. I look forward to someday answering an AE question for someone and,
by doing so, be entrusted with the coveted AE secret handshake. In
the meantime, feel free to pepper me with tax questions. Thank you in advance. Robert Leigh |
