White noise. The anchor point is adjusted using the Motion effect controls. Change the relative position of a clip anchor point to reposition the clip in the frame.
Login to your account. Remember Me Lost your password? The anchor points for a clip can be adjusted in order to create customized rotation effects. To adjust the anchor points, go to the Effects Control panel. For example, you may want to move the anchor point to the bottom left side of a clip in order to make that clip rotate around that 'pivot' point.
The anchor point in After Effects is the point in which all transformations are manipulated from. In a practical sense the anchor point is the point in which your layer will scale and rotate around. While it may seem silly to have an anchor point and a position transform property both of these parameters do very different things.
Use the anchor point to set the position of an on-screen image
- When adjusting Position controls, you're actually changing the location of the clip anchor point, which, in turn, adjusts the position of the clip.
An anchor point's location is based on the clip dimensions
- While the Position controls are relative to the size of the sequence frame, the location of the anchor point is relative to the size of the clip, which may be different.
Rotate clips around the anchor point
- Clip rotation occurs around the anchor point. Change the relative position of the anchor point to achieve more advanced rotation effects.

Animating the anchor point
- Like any other Motion control, you can animate the position of the anchor point relative to the clip to achieve advanced motion and rotation effects.
Snap the anchor point to a clip's corner or side
- Select the Motion effect in the Effect Controls panel to display direct manipulation controls in the Program Monitor.
- Drag the anchor point to a new position.
- Hold Ctrl (Windows) or Command (macOS) to snap the anchor point to one of the clip's corners or the midpoint of a side.
Tip: Set the anchor point before changing or animating clip position controls to be sure you're positioning clips where you want them.
Move Anchor Point Premiere Pro
… for Adobe Premiere Pro CC
The Anchor Point can be easily moved using the Move tool.
The Anchor point is that spot in an element around which it rotates or scales. Clips, shapes and text each have separate anchor points, but moving them is the same.
- Select the clip who's anchor point you want to move.
- Select the Move tool.
- In the Program Monitor, drag the small circle with the cross-hair to the position you want. The EXACT position is the center of the cross-hair.
If you need more precision, or need to match anchor points for multiple clips, select the clip, then, in the Effect Controls panel, enter the precise numbers you need for the Anchor point for the selected clip.
EXTRA CREDIT
Here's where to find the appropriate Anchor point. Using the Move tool, select the object in the Program Monitor you want to adjust. It will highlight in the Effect Controls panel.
- Video: Effect Controls > Motion
- Shapes: Effect Controls > Shape > Transform
- Text: Effect Controls > Text > Transform
