You might be able to get an expression to work on the anchor point of eac= h layer: fromComp([thisComp.width/2,thisComp.height/2]) ...but not sure this will do what you want. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Todd Kopriva [mailto:kopriva@adobe.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2012 09:28 AM To: 'After Effects Mail List' Subject: Re: [AE] reset anchor point relative to position on screen?

The easiest way to do this is to parent everything to a null which is at = the 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 sc= ott.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 c= oins on a table). I want to set the anchor point for each of these coins = layers to be the center of the comp. So for example, if I rotated each la= yer individually, it would rotate around the center of the comp. (I don't= actually plan to rotate them, but I do need them to have their anchorpoi= nt centered to the comp). Is there any easy way to do this (aside from by= hand or using nulls?) +---End of message---+ To unsubscribe send any message to
