1. Don’t Use Point Control for the Following Things: ⛔

Tagline position

Logo position

Placeholder positions in general

Animated graphic elements such as

Background Circle

Background Color Ramp Start Color

Background Color Ramp End Color

Flare Position

Particle Emitter Position

Etc...

Let’s say your Render Comp is 1280x720.

Your Graphics comp is 640x360.

Your point control lives inside the Render Comp.

Your circle being drawn lives inside the Graphics Comp.

Selecting the center of the screen inside your Render Comp will returns the coordinates [640, 360].

If you draw a circle at [640, 360] in your Graphics comp which has a size of [640, 360] it will draw it in the bottom right corner.

To fix this we need to offset the value for the circle using the Anchor Point of the Graphics comp in the Render comp.
