About Anchor Pro

Anchor Pro provides anchor point management for After Effects and Premiere Pro. It enables moving the anchor point relative to the clip itself, the sequence, or a selected group of clips, and supports drag‑based precise placement. For clips with transparent backgrounds, Alpha Mode handles the anchor point with an optional drop‑shadow ignore. Users can save anchor positions to align other clips while retaining existing animation. In After Effects it works with the Transform Effect, Separated Dimensions, 3D layers, and integrates with Spell Book. Version 2.0.0 adds those After Effects features, improves Alpha Mode, adds keyboard shortcut customization, and includes UI, UX, and performance enhancements.
