Resetting the anchor point
Dragging the anchor point with the pan behind tool repositions both the layer's anchor point and adjusts the layer's position in order to maintain its visual location in the composition. New to After Effects 5.5 is the ability to quickly reset the anchor point to be the center of the layer. Once you reset the anchor point, the layer retains the same position value but changes its visual location to account for the new anchor point position. To reset the anchor point, double-click the pan behind tool in the toolbox. To reset the anchor point and reset the position to the center of the composition, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and double-click the pan behind tool.
