Key Insights
- Understand the role of Anchor Point in transformations.
- Use shortcuts: A for Anchor Point, P for Position, S for Scale, R for Rotation, T for Opacity.
- Position relates to the composition, while Anchor Point relates to the layer.
- Reset transformations easily through the layer menu.
- Fit layers to composition dimensions for better alignment.
- Auto Orient allows layers to follow paths without keyframing rotation.
- Flipping layers can enhance visual effects.
- Centering layers improves composition balance.
- Continuous rasterization maintains quality for vector layers.
