Any way to make this work on rotated 3D layers?
v3.0 supports rotated 3d layers (and more generally any kind of transformation)
Does not seem to work with shape layers….
Wow! Thanks Charles – awesome work! This makes so many things easier. Can’t wait to use it when laying out projection mapping solids. It’s like C4D Axis Center tool for AE. A must have.
If I have previously purchased this script…how can I download without purchasing again?
Just set the price to zero in the cart and you’ll be able to download the script for free.
Is v3.1 compatible with CS5?
Yes, just finished testing 3.1 on CS5 and it works fine.
I am using AE CS5 10.0.1.19. It says “Unable to execute script at line 98. Uncaught exception newImage”
same problem, I’m trying to put the file everywhere but…
Definitely A MUST HAVE !!
Put it on a USB key to carry it everywhere !
When I don’t work on my computer and don’t have it installed, I spend so much times…
Thx a lot for this very helpful script.
Hello,
I am trying to run your script RepositionAnchorPoint_3.2 on AE CS5 and keep getting an error message ” Script error: An error occurred when trying to open and read a resource file” does anyone have any suggestions?
U have to put the “(RepositionAnchorPoint_Resources)” and the jsx file”RepositionAnchorPoint” in script folder .
Hi,
This script is truly amazing and saves tons of time related to guess-work. Unfortunately, though, the script UI panel has started malfunctioning as of a couple of weeks ago. All I’m seeing is a grey, empty panel. I’m running OSX 10.6.4 on an 8-core Mac Pro with AE CS5. If there’s any more info I can provide, please let me know.
Thanks!
same here. Can’t get the UI panel to load anything.
Any plans to enhance this great script so it moves the anchor but also chang the position of the given layer, so the layer stays on its place and just changes the position of anchor?
do you know you can use the Pan Behind Tool to move both the anchor point and position at the same time?
tnx
Dude!!! Your script saved my life!!! I Had 400 layers that needed to get the anchor point reseted and your script worked like a charms!!!
As I have some money on my account, I’ll donate you some bucks
Thanks!!
Can you change with this script achor point of the shape layers to the center of every shape, if you have over 100 shape layers imported from Photoshop?
Would it be possible to add an option to move it to arbitrary point instead of the edges and the center?
The script gives an error in CS5.5 then sometimes works and sometimes fails.
I have not tried it in any other version of AE.
