It sometimes jumps offscreen when a change is made. It would also be great if the text stops jumping when justification is changed. This should happen on creation of the text. Likewise left justification centers the anchor point to the center left position and right justification centers the anchor point to the center right position. If you press Ctrl (WIN) or CMD (macOS), you can see alignment tools (red dotted lines) assist you.”Įdit: This is what I just submitted to Adobe as a feature request:Īlignment of text and other elements – Tie that to Justification and add centering controlsĬould centering text anchor points or any element be tied to its justification? Center justification centers the anchor point in the center of the text and it stays centered even if we add or remove text. There does not seem to be another way to center the anchor point that I have found, no ALT/Command clicking it in Premiere to center it.Īccording to an Adobe person: “You can drag the anchor point to the center of the text box and it should snap into place. Either way it will likely NOT be centered precisely. The annoying step one must take is to relocate that poorly placed default anchor point either by adjusting it in the Effect Controls panel which moves the text’s position as well or by grabbing it with your mouse using the Selection Tool which leaves the position alone- thankfully. So were I to animate it by scale or rotate it it will use that as the point it will move from. The anchor or center point is below the text. It has the least useful anchor point by default…Īs I said prior about After Effects text, I am puzzled by Adobe’s choice to NOT link the center point of text to the alignment chosen for that text. And it seems to suffer from the exact same issue that After Effects text does: It certainly is different that the “legacy” title tool. And I am using the Essential Graphics panel for making some text.

I am trying to make two spots in Premiere since After Effects has been a mess of instability lately.
