Why we like it

Move Anchor Point earns its place in the Toolfarm library by handling one focused task: moving anchor points precisely without disturbing the layer. The grid control, modular interface, and preset system keep repeated adjustments quick.

What is Move Anchor Point?

Move Anchor Point is a script from BatchFrame Software for After Effects. It moves anchor points precisely, anywhere, without moving the layer itself. Control is handled through a grid, which can be customized for more flexibility.

The modular interface lets you see only what you need and set up the layout that works best for your project, with changes made in a few clicks. Custom presets store anchor point positions and settings for reuse, and search-matching moves anchor points based on layer names.

It runs on After Effects versions from CC 2014 through 2025. A 10-day trial is fully unlocked and matches the full version aside from a prompt to purchase a license; once the trial expires, the tool locks completely. A demo video is available.

Who is Move Anchor Point best for?

Move Anchor Point is best for after Effects users who need to reposition anchor points without moving the layer, and who want grid-based control, reusable presets, and layer-name matching.

How much does Move Anchor Point cost?

Move Anchor Point is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Move Anchor Point work with After Effects 2025?

Move Anchor Point supports After Effects 2025, along with 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and the CC releases back to CC 2014, including CC 2019, 2018, 2017, 2015.3, 2015, and 2014. That range covers most versions currently in use. If you're on one of these releases, the script runs as listed. For any version outside that list, check the developer's page to confirm before installing.

How long is the Move Anchor Point trial?

Move Anchor Point offers a 10-day trial that is completely unlocked. During those 10 days it behaves exactly the same as the full version, with no limitations, aside from being prompted to purchase a license. Once the 10-day period ends, the tool locks completely and can no longer be used. To keep working with it beyond the trial without that purchase reminder, you'll need a license, which you can obtain from the developer's page.

Is Move Anchor Point free?

Move Anchor Point is listed as free in this catalog. The developer also offers a 10-day trial that runs fully unlocked, matching the full version aside from a purchase prompt, before the tool locks completely. Because licensing terms can change, the best way to confirm current pricing and what applies to your use is the developer's page directly, rather than relying on a fixed figure here.

How does Move Anchor Point position anchor points?

Move Anchor Point uses a grid to control where anchor points go, and the grid can be customized for more flexibility. You can also create custom presets to store and reuse anchor point positions and settings, and use search-matching to move anchor points based on layer names. Every move happens without shifting the layer itself, and the modular interface lets you show only the controls you need.
