[@kwentongeerie]

Hey guys. How do you group a text in separate layers so you could align them?

[@schoolofmotion]

You'd need to create a separate text layer for each character. It's tedious, but creatively worth it.

[@Fiveandime]

why can't I assign my own keyboard shortcuts???

[@TimoKanal]

I hate that you only tell the Mac shortcuts. Are we all supposed to work on a Mac?

[@msmit1999]

No, you're supposed to know that cmd = ctrl on windows and option = alt

[@TimoKanal]

@@msmit1999 Well, google for example says that cmd = Windows Key, even if that's just wrong for Premiere etc. And I'm not sure if that is the direct translation for all the shortcuts.

[@msmit1999]

Cmd being ctrl is just common knowledge

[@metamorfiete]

[@schoolofmotion]

Check out the Path to Mograph. We show you how we did it! :) www.schoolofmotion.com/the-path-to-mograph

[@TheJohnRowley]

Great video, thank you. I think when you say that hitting [ will move your layer to the playhead this is misleading, what it actually does is erase any of the layer preceeding the playhead.

[@human-connections]

doesnt alt+[ do that?

[@TheJohnRowley]

@@human-connections You are right and I am completely wrong! 😳 Sorry about that.

[@Keyboard_ink]

Command option home? what is Home

[@schoolofmotion]

This is an option on full size keyboard found to the left of the number pad.

[@Keyboard_ink]

[@SevaLatin]

you can press Fn+ left arrow for Home

[@Zyllow]

You should be able to just select the layer and hit backspace or delete on a mac.
