Camera issue in Motion

Whenever I add a camera in motion the grid is always in the center of the object, photo or whatever I have in the project. In other words the red horizontal line is not on the bottom of the objects it is always in the middle. I'v done everything I can think of including just opening motion alone loading an object in a group then adding a camera and it always does the same thing, I can't get anything to sit on top of the grid.

Thanks

Click to expand...

In the Inspector, under the Properties tab for the object, adjust the Anchor Point setting. Just set the Y value to -(1/2 of video height).

So if DV -(1/2 * 480) then set Y value to -240.
If HD 720p -(1/2 * 720) set it to -360.
If HD 1080p -(1/2 * 1080) set it to -540.

yes, I should have seen that but I was side tracked by working in Text which appears on top of the grid and was expecting the same for Objects, anyway it works great thanks for the tip.
