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
