Align Pro After Effects works as a utility with new precise alignment features that imitate the functionality of Illustrator’s align tool. This tool allows for the alignment and distribution of layers about another “key” layer while ensuring spacing is evenly distributed, taking no notice of parent layers to make mistakes. It also features the ability to center or average layers while aligning with paragraph texts.

• Align to Key Layers: This new feature allows fast and accurate aligning or distribution of nodes concerning a predetermined node “key layer” that one selects.
• Distribute Spacing: Defines the spacing in pixels so that we have even spacing between your layers.
• Ignore Parents: Default technique that has caused alignment problems caused by parented layers.
