Animating Text Issue

[Robbie98A2]

Hey Guys, 

I'm having an issue with animating some text... I'm animating it to scale up from "0" but every time it does it seems to scale up from the lower right hand corner of the screen - I just want it to scale up from centre. I thougt it was an anchor point issue, but when I looked at it, the anchor point was centred, so I don't understand why it's doing this. The text is alligned in "centre" position on ESG panel as well... 

Any thoughts?

Cheers

Robbie

Hello,

Try to nest the word then scale it

[Robbie98A2]

Doesn't make a difference.... same issue

[Joëlle Bh]

Can you try to delete the text file and write it again then repeat the scaling process?

still the same issue

Check the anchor point in Motion but also in Vector Motion.

Hey, sorry I don't understand what you want me to check? I've looked at both in effects controls... they are as shown

Sorry, I meant the text itself.

As you see, there are 3 anchor points (to keep it simple 😉 )

Hey Ann, 

Thanks! That works - OK so the problem was I was scaling from the wrong Effect Control... I should have been scaling from "Transform" instead of "Video". Now I see that the anchor points were different... Apologies, I am quite new to this so still figuring out lots of things 🙂 It is good fun learning though!

Thanks again fior your help with this

EGP takes some getting used to.
