Anchor Point does not set to content in layer unless moved maually.

Question

Automatic positioning of an After Effects anchor point over a layer's content does not appear to work in the latest update. On import from Photoshop, anchor points default to the centre of the layer.  They do not reposition over content with - Select Layer > Transform > Centre Anchor Point In Layer Content. Command double click the pan behind anchor tool on Mac will recentre to mid screen also. This is important to me because some of the elements I'm working on within a current project are only a couple of pixels in width and difficult to find against the default background to manually position anchor points.  After Effects 24.1.0 (Build 78) on Mac  Sanoma 14.1.2

Hi Rick, I trashed the file I was working on yesterday, went back to an earlier file which was working fine and all is now good. Cheers, C

It sounds like you imported the PSD as a composition without selecting retain layer size. I'm finding no problems at all importing PSD or Illustrator files as compositions.
