i try to reset parameter but it doesnt work

Correct answer Kevin-Monahan

Hi John,

Yes, simply drag the Anchor Point from the lower left corner of the wireframe to the center of the wireframe. As you approach the center, press Control on PC or Command on Mac. A red cross hair will appear guiding you to the center of the wireframe and the anchor point. Let go of the mouse once both are aligned. Your anchor point is now centered in the text.

I hope that helps. Please see my earlier response for clarification.

Thanks,
Kevin

There is a known bug at play here that may be causing the issue. I had a similar problem that was totally stumping me and even though people were providing the correct answer (click the anchor point and drag it to the center and it will snap), the intended behavior wasn't happening because I had scaled the text box before attempting to adjust the anchor point. So just a heads up for anyone searching for an answer on this - if you are failing at trying to get an anchor point to snap to edge or center, make sure you haven't scaled the text box. If you have, delete it and create a new one. Then the anchor point snapping should work. After that you should be able to scale the text box with your new anchor position intact.

You need to always move anchor points first. For about anything.

Or they could fix the bug so that basic transformations don't break anchor point functionality.

MtD is short for MegTheDog ... his post is up above in this thread, and Kevin was referring to that. Also, yea, it's rough being a noob with a complex app as we all started there, but that said ... knowing the names of the workspace panels is really one of the first things to learn.

ECP is the Effects Control Panel.

EGP is the Essential Graphics Panel in the Graphics workspace.

ESP is the Essential Sound panel in the Audio workspace.

Premiere's anchor points can be odd. And I don't actually use the anchor points that much ... I simply animate the item, whether object or graphic/text. Except of course, if you're rotating especially you may wish to center the anchor point.

Hi,

I have centered "Text Anchor Point" by clicking and holding the "Ctrl" key, but when I add "3D Basic" effect to the text and add simple tilt animation (from 0 degree to 90 degrees tilt in 10 frames), the result animation video text is vibrating (not in preview after export)! What's wrong with Pr v2021?

Are you using the new essential graphics text generator or the legacy title?
