	After Effects Text Tips #3 First off - thank you for this. I had not considered that in this process. However, I find using that option and adjusting the percentages to be a cumbersome way of correcting the animation. BUT - I'll be the first to admit that Text is a tough one for me, so if you could give a step-by-step to come up with the solution you described for fixing the rotation around the center, I'd appreciate it. thanks. by Aharon Rabinowitz on Mar 16, 2008

	After Effects Text Tips #3 hi, dont know if someone cares about, but the 2nd text animator isn´t needed in this case. you can adjust the anchor point of the letters by selecting More Options (of the text layer, not the animator) and then grouping alignment. even more interesting: you can change the anchor point grouping there. this way you can achieve results that are impossible with a bunch of text animators. cheers, payton by payton on Mar 15, 2008
