Aligning text based on custom area

[nikhila76557094]

Align Vertically and Align Horizontally commands in the Essential Graphics Panel aligns the text box to the absolute center based on the whole screen size.

I want to align my text based on the custom region instead of the absolute center. Is there a way to set the custom area for text box alignment?

Some Example Scenarios:

- I want to align my text horizontally and vertically only for my lower third captions.

-I have a small computer screen in the video and I want to align text in the middle of the computer screen.

I noticed there are additional commands, Horizontal Center and Vertical Center, these commands also align the text to absolute center as well. Thus, I think there should be a way to align the text based on the region.

Post that as a feature request here:

This feature does not exist?

There should be a difference between those two commands....

Align Vertically and Align Horizontally and Horizontal Center and Vertical Center cannot be doing the same thing.

I'm not at my editing computer now, but I think that may be for multiple items, not a single item.

I was able to use both option while I had multiple text boxes selected.

Not sure this is what you need but here is what I do. In my program monitor I turn on "Show Rulers" and I turn on "Snap in Program Monitor" (They are icons you can access and drag down by clicking the + button). Then I pull some guidelines from the rulers to the positions I want my text to align to. I create my text and drag it into place and it will snap to the guideline that I placed along the left side of my frame and along the bottom if I was doing a lower third.
