Separate X and Y Position keyframes?

Can I separate the X and Y position attributes so I can keyframe them separately? I know I can do this in AE, but can this be done in Premiere?

Thanks!

Best,

Ben

Adobe is as always terrible at its job, but if you're looking for a quick way to solve your x/y coordinate changing when you have easing/a custom velocity graph as you would in AfterFX by separating the axis, add a keyframe right after the first one, this will give you a velocity graph that only changes your x by a little bit. There are better solutions though.

This is still not available in Premiere pro 2021, and is a constant frustration for me (especially when switching between PP and AE).

Right click "position" then click seperate dimensions from the drop down menu. You owe me a million dollars.

In Premiere Pro? I don't see that option in the submenu.

Hey I did Position, then Anchor =]

This solution worked for me—and seems to be the best workaround since Position does not allow you to keyframe X and Y independently, as you can in After Effects. I find this becomes a problem after adding easing.

I am doing some Ken Burns camera moves on photos and it was really bugging me that Y was changing value when I didn't want it to—especially after adding Ease Out and Ease In on my Position keyframes. Anchor Point served as my X coordinate and Position was my Y coordinate, and now my animations are more controllable.
