Repositioning rotation point

[Andrew McCarrick]

I'm trying to make an animation where the text flips down from the top of the letters, not flip up from the bottom. How would I move the 3D point on the text, so it's on the top left. As you can see in the image below it's on the bottom left of the text.

can't see the screenshot (maybe forum resized it?) , but you would move the anchor point with the pan behind tool

Where would I find the pan behind tool?




Here's basically what I want. Starting around 0:30 in:

There text flips down with the hinge point on the top of the text. I'm only able to do it from the bottom, and have it flip up.



EDIT: Nevermind, had to move the anchor point, so the text was below it.

Press Y on your keyboard and you'll get the pan behind tool

He found the correct solution - it's the anchor point that an object's rotation "pivots" around. Pan behind won't affect this.

They were both right. Hitting Y on the keyboard is the shortcut to enable the Pan behind tool. You can then use the Pan behind tool to adjust the anchor point in the composition window rather than adjusting the actual coordinates under transform properties.

Handsome is correct. That quick tip has saved me tons of time and frustration.
