Flipping a layer using Scale property keyframes

You can flip a layer using the numerical Scale option. A layer flips around its anchor point, so if you move the anchor point away from the center of the layer, it may move when you flip it. (See Setting and animating an anchor point.)

To flip a layer by dragging in the Composition window:

Drag a layer handle over and past the layer's anchor point.

To flip a layer numerically:

1. In the Timeline window, select the layer you want to modify.
2. Expand the layer outline to display the Scale property (under Transform) or press S.
3. Ctrl-click (Mac OS) or right-click (Windows) the underlined Scale value and choose Edit Value from the pop-up menu that appears.
4. In the Scale dialog box, choose None from the Preserve pop-up menu.
5. Do one of the following and then click OK:
• To flip horizontally, type a negative Width value.
• To flip vertically, type a negative Height value.
