What it does
Moves a layer's anchor point (the pivot it scales and rotates around). Position compensates automatically, so the layer stays where it is on screen. It is the AE Pan Behind (Anchor Point) tool.
How to use it
- Press Y, or click and hold the Move slot and choose Anchor Point.
- Select a layer and drag its anchor cross.
- Hold ⇧ while dragging to snap to the layer's corners, edge centres and centre.
