I have a video I'm working on in which I need to update the text in certain positions to indicate the "profit" made in the video, but I want a rolling total.
For this effect, I need to change the text in two different positions every 1.22 seconds (00:00:01;07). This is easy to achieve, except that the Position doesn't match every time.
Although my Anchor Point is consistently X 960, Y 540 (as my video is 1920x1080), the Position doesn't match, or it is likely based on the text's CENTER, not the LEFT, like I need it to. How do I change the orientation of the text to be based on the left rather than the center?

After further research, I found out I can use the "center" option in the Text's Effect Controls. However, this doesn't solve my problem.
I attempted to see if their default location (X 960, Y 540) are the same and they are NOT. My text "214" is directly in the center (likely the exact coordinate I need). My text "0" is at roughly X 980, Y 700, but displays X 960, Y 540...
The above image is the text "214" that is properly centering in my video.
The above image is the text "0" that is centering at roughly 200 pixels away from the center.
