Nooby help on a simple essential graphics title. (slide in from right, not left)

I've got a 2 shot on the timeline for introductions.... Hi I'm Fred, I go into Essential Graphics/ lower thirds and drop a classic lower third two lines on it. as Fred says hi, the title slides in and works fine.

Then the other talent says Hi, I'm Sue... I'd like o use the same Classic lower third but have it slide in from the right (vs the default left)

I know there has to be a button somewhere that switches it from "slide in left" to "slide in right" I'm lost at finding it....how do I get it to slide in from the right? (tried horizontal flip but...you know, lol)

help?

    You start with the graphic on the timeline at the beginning of the clip, use the positioning controls in the ECP to move it off screen to the right, then keyframe the movement into the screen. Same thing when I do this from any angle, or leaving from any angle.

    I may not have been clear Neil,  The title I'm using is already animated. If you plop it on the timeline, by default, it slides in from the left side with 4 layers of background shape and 2 layers of text.  (and the shape of the background layers is not symmetrical)

    Are you saying that in order to use this title (see above for specific title) I would have to change all the keyframes for all 6 layers?

    There's no automated way to reverse animations ... so yea, you'd need to do that yourself. If you purchased this from somewhere, you might see if they have the "reverse-flow" version available.
