How do you center a title's anchor point?

I'm sure this is a simple question but I can't find anything in the forums that answer it.
I have a text title I want to center in the frame (horizontally and vertically, with text center aligned), but for some reason the guides seem to be wrong. The yellow lines don't meet at the center of the frame, they meet at another point that seems to change randomly. And the round handle (anchor point?) of the text box appears on the first line of text, rather than the vertical center of the text box. How do I reset this or change it? It says my anchor points are at x 0 y 0, but that doesn't look right. All I want to do is center all my text boxes (both horizontally and vertically) within the frame. I hope this makes sense. Please see images. Thanks!

Are you sure that your settings in Video Inspector - Transform - Position x = 0, y = 0 and not something else?
I don't think you can set the move handle to be other than under the first line.

How do you see a clip's anchor point?

When working in the effect controls panel, I would like to move a clip/title's anchor point. However, it doesn't do me much good if I can't see where that anchor point is. In After Effects, there is a dot in the center of the image that indicates the anchor point. Is there a way to make that show up in Premiere Pro CC? Otherwise, I'm just stuck moving the coordinates with no visual frame of reference.

In the effects control panel. click on the Motion effect to select it - then you should see the wireframe overlay appear, with the anchor point in the program monitor.

How do you center text in a JOptionPane?

How do you center text in a JOptionPane?
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"File(s) Moved Successfully","Finished", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);

Instead of adding the string "File(s)...", create a
JPanel. Add your text as a JLabel to this JPanel
using the appropriate LayoutManager. Now add the
JPanel in place of "File(s)..." in the
showMesageDialog call.Or just use a JLabel, set its alignment to center and add the label instead of the string.

How do you make a title just fade away

I would like to put a still frame title into a clip, and instead of having it just be on the screen one second and a few seconds later instantly be gone, I would like to make the title slowly disapear into nothingness? Anyone know how to do that?

Yes, I'm very sorry. I keep forgetting that Encore and PPCS4 are separate programs. Yes, you do indeed create fading titles in PPCS4. I finally figured it out today. All that is necessary is to Put the new title on the timeline. Then place the timeline indicator bar, or whatever that thing is called, at the front of the title box on your timeline. Open up the effects control box, and expand the opacity box. Click the little diamond on the right side, and this will add a keyframe to the beginning of your title. Go to the end of the title box and click the diamond again to add a key frame to that end. Then just grab the keyframe on the right and pull it down. The title will disappear over the length of the time that it is on your screen.
Thank you Hunt. Also thank you for the advice about the book. I do appreciate it.

Terry,
I could be wrong, but isn't this something that one would do in PrPro?
Now, if one wanted a Menu (in Encore) to "fade away," they could create (in PrPro) a Button Transition to do that.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do you center a popup on the screen?

My popups show on the bottom right of the screen. How do you center all contents of a popup on the screen?

Hi,
Did you try
myapp.BrowseClientSiteDocuments.ShowFilterPopup_Tap_execute = function (screen) {
// NOTE: If using JQuery Mobile 1.3 (or higher) use "popupcreate" rather than "popupbeforeposition"
$(window).one("popupcreate", function (e) {
$(e.target).popup({
positionTo: "window"
$(window).one("popupbeforeposition", function (e) {
e.target._mslsCustomPosition = undefined;
screen.showPopup("FilterPopup");

How do I center a title over selected columns?

I was a heavy Excel user and am very confused by Numbers. If I have five columns and I want a title over those five columns, how do I center a title over just those five columns?

Hi Laura,
Following on from quinn's advice:
Some people are tempted to merge cells in similar situations. Don't do it! Numbers finds mysterious ways to complain about them.
Instead of merging cells, try a text box on top of your table. Set the Fill colour to match the row, and set Border to No Border:
Regards,
Ian.

How to delete a path between two anchor points

hi ,
it's all in the title ,
could you tell me please how to delete a path between two anchor points without using the path eraser tool ?
When I select these two anchor points and press delete everything is gone.
ps : I want to keep the anchor points after the deletion
Thank you

With some experimentation, I did find that selecting the path can leave orphan points. So keep that in mind as it may be necessary to use Object>Path>Clean up...
You will not get orphan points if you delete a segment that is not at the end of a path. For segment that is at the end of a path, or is the entire path, select the end point/s and press delete. For the one segment that is entire path you can use the selection tool (black pointer) or hold Alt with the direct selection tool (white pointer) which is useful for objects in a group.

How do I edit a single handled anchor point

I find myself with a corner that only has one handle (screen shot below), to which, I want to add a second handle. I could convert it to a smooth curve but this averages things out and moves my existing handle's position.
I want to add the second handle without affecting the path, to do this the new handle would be aligned to the vertical path. I would then be able to edit the second handle as desired, and the whole process would leave the existing curved path untouched.

froodster,
To keep the left segment unchanged, you may:
1) Cut the path by Clicking the Anchor Point with the Scissors Tool;
2) With the straight path (still) selected Click the Anchor Point with the Convert Anchor Point Tool, then ClickDrag it to drag out the new Handle;
3) Select both paths (you may ClickDrag across the Anchor Point with the Direct Selection Tool) and Ctrl/Cmd to Join, ticking Corner (or all will be in vain).

How do you center a Text Anchor Point?

I want all my text anchor points to center in the middle of my words.
By default they stay in the lower left corner.
Do I have to manually reposition each one with the Transform > Anchor Point adjustment every single time?
TEDIOUS.
Is there no other way?

There's no option for that. Text layers are the size of the comp even though the text can extend beyond the boundaries. The only solution that I know of is to add a slider control to the text layer then add this expression to the anchor point:
[0, -.35*effect("Slider Control")("Slider")]
The .35 factor is about where most have the center of their height. You then just adjust the slider to the font height. You can tweak the value if it doesn't fit your particular font.
Unfortunately there's no way to directly access the font size with an expression

Stru,
You posted your question in the Pages (word processor) discussion area. Hope you can find your way back to Excel without any difficulty. The answer wouldn't have been much different had you posted in the Numbers discussion.

How to Change the Location of the Anchor Point

Hi
Very new to affter effects.... i was wondering if you guys could please tell me how to move the blue anchor for animation of text please.

If you just want to move the anchor point on your text layer you can do it by hand instead of going in and manually adjusting it from the transform menu as Dave suggested.
However, by what you've written it seems like there may be some confusion about what moving the anchor point actually accomplishes. So just to clarify, the anchor point, or the small crosshair icon usually in the middle or corner of the layer, is actually a customizable location that essentially dictates the center around which the position, scale and/or rotation values will change when your layer is animated over time with keyframes.
For example, if you would like to move the anchor point so that your text rotates around a point near the corner of the layer, you can press the Y key to activate the Pan Behind Tool and move the anchor point to the corner. If you have CS6 you can hold down the Command Key to lock the anchor point to the center, corner or edge of your layer. A little square will appear around the Anchor Point when it's ready to lock.
If you've keyframed some of the properties on a layer and would like to temporarily see how your layer looks without messing up any animation you've done on it, simply duplicate the layer by selecting it in the Comp's layer panel and going to Edit - Copy and Edit - Paste. That way you can do whatever you'd like on the duplicated layer wihout harming your original Then do one or more of the following:
A.) You can reset all of the trnsform properties of the layer by clicking Reset. This will set your layer back to it's default transform settings.
B.) Or, you can delete all of the keyframes on an individual property by clicking the stopwatch again.
C.) Also, clicking the light yellow diamond next to the Source Name will delete a single keyframe and the arrows on either side will move the playhead from keyframe to keyframe. You can of course always delete keyframes manually by selecting them in the timeline and hitting delete. Holding Shift will snap the playhead to each keyframe.
I hope this helps and if you're still having trouble I highly reccomend you start here to learn After Effects or go here for additional information.

How do you load doc's and power points etc on the IPAD2?

How do you load doc's,power point, etc on Ipad2?

You first need one or more apps on the iPad that supports those document types, otherwise you won't have anywhere to store them (except as email attachments) - the iPad is not like a 'normal' computer which has a file system, on the iPad each file/document has to be stored/associated with an app. Once you've decided on the app(s) then, depending on the app, transfer may be done by the file sharing section of the iPad's apps tab on your computer's iTunes, wifi, Dropbox, email attachments etc.
Documents To Go supports word, excel, and powepoint files :
'normal' version - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/documents-to-go-office-suite/id317117961?mt=8
