Hi there,

We’ve implemented a small but mighty improvement to the Design Builder to give you more precision over your motion effects!

We know that previously, the origin of a Scale animation was strictly tied to the alignment of your layer (for example, a centered text layer would always scale from the center).

We've now decoupled these settings, giving you the freedom to define your animation origin independently of your layout.

What's Improved?

• Independent Anchor Control: You now have a dedicated Anchor parameter within the Scale animation settings. This allows you to define exactly where the scale effect will occur on the layer.
• Greater Flexibility: You can now keep your layer aligned exactly how you want it on the canvas (e.g., left-aligned) while having it scale from the center, the corner, or any other point you choose.

How to Use It

1. Select the layer you wish to animate in the Design Builder.
2. In the animation panel, add or edit a Scale effect.
3. Locate the new Anchor grid selector.
4. Simply click on one of the 9 points on the grid to set the origin point for your scaling effect.

Enjoy this new level of precision in your animated designs!
