I can't center anchor point in AE 2024 or latest Ae 2025 using external plugins. Even when I check this ON


It simply creates somewhere in middle of the comp.

 

I made video I am not joking. 😄

You can backup your preferences before you wipe them. AE Preferences, Startup & Recovery. Open the Prefs folder and make a copy of them.

Well centering as centering. Mostly I need to quickly put anchor on sides, that's why I use plugins. I am going to reset preferences and pray that I wouldn't have to make whole settings from scratch.

To center the anchor point you can use: ctrl/cmd + double click on the Pan Behind Tool icon.

 

 

 

Or try After Effects Beta there is a new feature: Feature Focus: Quick Set Anchor Point

This is strange. I tried SAFE MODE and here it works. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/stg1wl5g793uwu891xyax/Z-znam-2024-11-07-133945.mp4?rlkey=w1exvbuckby66q930sjolz7z8&dl=0
