About Type ReAlign

Type ReAlign is a panel for Adobe After Effects that adjusts type alignment without moving the type’s original placement. It works on both 2D and 3D text layers, offering true and optical centering options for 3D objects and handling centering to the composition when cameras are in the scene. The panel includes controls to lock or reset the anchor point, and it updates live as you select different layers or scrub the timeline. Compatibility spans After Effects versions 2020 through 2026, and the current version is 1.1.0, which merged polling with the developer’s other tools and provides an option to disable polling in the settings. The tool is listed as free in this catalog, though licensing details are maintained on the developer’s site.
