      Aligning elements

      Learn how to easily align and distribute your elements on the canvas

      Aligning and distributing your elements on the canvas helps create visually cohesive and professional-looking animations. 

      Select two or more elements on your canvas (or in the timeline). Once selected, select the ‘Edit’ tab in the right-hand panel to view the alignment and distribution controls. 

      Top tip: You can click and drag on the canvas to multi-select elements.

      Select one of the first three options to align the elements horizontally:
      • Align left-1  Align left
      • Align central (horizoltal)-1  Align center (horizontal)
      • Align right-1  Align right
      Select one of the next three options to align the elements vertically:
      • Align top  Align top
      • Align central (vertical)-1  Align center (vertical)
      • Align bottom-1  Align bottom

      Distribution controls

      Select one of the two options to distribute the spacing between the elements evenly:
      • Distribute horizontal  Distribute horizontal spacing 
      • Distribute vertical  Distribute vertical spacing 

      Top tip: If you want to try out the different options, for example, 'Align left' Align left-1 and then 'Align right' Align right-1 , you'll need to select 'Undo' Undo between each attempt to return the elements to their original position.
