How to place layer content anchor point in the middle

[S001 A]

Hi,

I am working on a project where I have tons of texts , to be animated, all individual letter needs to be scaled from centre.  I dnt wanna move them from layer contets. Beacuse I will animate the layer as well. Is there any way/plugin/shortcut I can use to snap all these content's anchorpoint automatically (dnt wanna do it manually 😥 )

Thank you.

letter 'e' anchor point is so far.letter 'M' anchor point is far far away...

Hi @,

I read your question. Thanks for that. Have you considered using a text animator? If not, here's a tutorial: https://adobe.ly/4go4Wc1. Otherwise, it might be hard to manage such a task. I hope the advice might help. Let the community know.

Thanks,
Kevin

If you have a mask path, a shape with a path, or any other layer, you can select the Anchor Point/Pan Behind tool (y), turn on Snapping, and then click and drag the Anchor Point to the center of the path, shape, or layer. 

When Snapping is turned on in the Tool Bar, the Anchor Point will snap to the center, any corner, the midpoint of any size, or any vertex in the layer unless something else is going on in the layer.

YES, its working. Snapping was turned off.  Poor me. Thank you so much.

There is an add-on named Reposition Anchor Point (https://aescripts.com/repositionanchorpoint/) that might work for you.
