Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do I shift the anchor point for rectangles in Titler?  Seems like should be a simple enough thing to do.

There is no anchor point for shapes in the Titler.

what are you trying to achieve?

Holding down shift will scale proportional.

Trying to align things using numerics with a rectangle.  Seems like this is super-basic functionality...  no?

BTW, trying to copy/paste text in Titler and Preimere keeps crashing.  Shoot me now.

Shooter, here are a few use cases:

- you have two objects that you want to space out

- you have two title cards and you want to left-align across two titles

So I disagree that I am pursuing mis-alignment.  I am pursuing a rigorous and simple way of aligning objects, which seems to be missing in Titler for unknown reasons.

One quick way to fix that would be to allow users to control the position of an object by changing top/left/right/bottom point in an object.  Another is to allow to change the position of the anchor (a simple x/y offset would suffice).

Not sure what you mean with the "show stopper" comment.

Just that I had not read anyone else having alignment difficulties and that lack of feedback would certainly not put it on Adobes radar for product development.

Since I have been on these Forums...many years... ..I have seen many FRs obliged. Including many of none to minimal value for myself.  Those I call 'Feature Creep".

FWIW - I am a fan for some development in PPro Titler. eg Ruler Bars and moveable Guidelines.
