Precise text list animation and placement

[EvanL03312]

Hello

I'm trying to animate a list of items / bullets in premiere pro.  The concept is to end up with a final list of 3 items after they animate and reveal.  However, my animation and reveal pushes the boundaries of the tutorials I've been able to find.

Example of final list.  It will show in the upper right corner of the frame (overlaying upon a person talking on another layer)

list item 1

list item 2

list item 3

The interesting (and difficult part) is that I want each list item to fade in separately to the center, bottom section of the frame, at 180 pts size, hang for 2 seconds, then move to its place in the final list and reduce down to 45pts. The final list has all of the list items at 45 pts, left aligned and distributed vertically, as shown above.  Following the timeline, when each new list item reveals, it will be centered in the frame horizontally, but at the lower edge of the frame (vertically). So list item 1 appears over a blank frame in the center, then moves and rescales to take its place on the upper right.  Then list item two appears in the bottom center, then scales and moves to its place below list item 2, and so forth.

I've tried separate graphics clips, one for each list item, each with its own motion and scale animation.  However, my big problem is getting each list item to end up in its proper final position.  In this example, I've tried starting with 3 separate graphic clips, so I can do the motion and scale changes.  However, getting them into the proper final positions is very difficult.  I've tried one graphics clip with multiple text boxes, but then I can animate each text box separately.

Alignment of the final text is very difficult because the horizontal and vertical  positioning controls of each clip uses the center point of the clip, not the left edge horizontal, which is what I want.  In other words, I want to be able to position the left edge of something precisely.

I've tried using guides and other ideas, but nothing is working.

I've tried messing around with anchor points, where I have two, the anchor point of the whole clip and the anchor point of each text box.  The anchor point of the clip starts as center Horiz/Vert, but the anchor point of a text box starts at the left edge, bottom of the box.

If anyone has an advanced video they know of it would be helpful.

Thank you!

It might be better to do that in After Effects.

Shortly after I posted this, I "found" the feature within the graphics editing controls to allow me to create animation on  individual text boxes/objects within one clip. I missed this the first time and went off on a wild goose chase.

Prolblem solved!

Thank you anyway!
