The easiest way to do this is to parent everything to a null which is at th= e centre of your comp. -Chris Sent from my iPhone On 15/08/2012, at 9:24 AM, Todd Kopriva wrote: > Have you tried the Align panel? > > ________________________________________ > From: After Effects Mail List [AE-List@media-motion.tv] On Behalf Of scot= t.aelist [scott.aelist@gmail.com] > Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2012 4:20 PM > To: After Effects Mail List > Subject: [AE] reset anchor point relative to position on screen? > > Suppose I have a large number of layers populating my comp (let's say coi= ns on a table). I want to set the anchor point for each of these coins laye= rs to be the center of the comp. So for example, if I rotated each layer in= dividually, it would rotate around the center of the comp. (I don't actuall= y plan to rotate them, but I do need them to have their anchorpoint centere= d to the comp). Is there any easy way to do this (aside from by hand or usi= ng nulls?)
