textAnchors - After Effects Script

textAnchors is a dockable script panel for Adobe After Effects for quickly setting text anchor points.

Text animation isn't the most fun process. Sure, you can select how your text animates onscreen by character, word, etc. But the animation defaults to scaling and rotating per character and always from the baseline, which doesn't always match the look or feel that you want.

Not only can textAnchors quickly change your anchor groupings, but it can also quickly set your anchor points within those groups. Make your text scale/rotate from the lower-left of every line, or the top-center of each word, or the left side of your text as whole.

As a bonus, hold alt/option when you set an anchor point to set a keyframe for even more unique-looking animations!
