How do I get my video to stay centered? When I try to move it to the center, it continues to move. Please help!

It may be that you're moving the anchor point ... which can get bizarre behavior. Leave it be.

 

Move by the X/Y coordinates of the Position options in the Motion effect at the top of the Effects Control Panel.

I'm in the effects control panel but I don't see that option. What am I missing?

When you say that it moves around, do you mean that is moves around over time, as though there are keyframes telling it to move around?  Or does it just snap to a weird point and stay there?  Are you sure that it's not the original video clip that has movement in it?


Nevermind - see my comment in your other thread.  For anybody having a similar issue, here's the other thread I'm referring to:

Not sure exactly what you mean but you probably want to change your viewer zoom level from 100% to 'Fit'.

For example, even when I set the frame to "fit" and try to center the video, it resets it and puts the video back to the top of the frame instead of the middle where I need it to be. Does that make sense?
